Talk:Mormon Battalion
|This is the talk page for discussing improvements to the Mormon Battalion article.
This is not a forum for general discussion of the article's subject.
Article policies
|This article is of interest to the following WikiProjects:
Members of the Mormon Battalion[edit]
This article should include names of members of the Mormon Battalion. For example: Abraham Day, Arza Erastus Hinckley
- Seeing that there was over 500 members of the Mormon Battalion, i would make a mess out of the article. The captains of each company should be named, but probably little more. BraveFoot (talk) 02:52, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
- The MBA should soon have an indexed roster of all members on its web site - perhaps that is sufficient?Blbachman (talk) 15:12, 11 August 2015 (UTC)
- Fleek mentions that there were two young men (from England IIRC) non-LDS who joined. I'll have to look for the citation.Blbachman (talk) 15:12, 11 August 2015 (UTC)
Article Organization[edit]
While sequential, the structure and information provided in the article skirts the areas of greatest importance, including the overall impact of the march to California on the War and the lasting impact of the Battalion on Mormon western expansion. Plus, it appears to lean to the POV of the US military rather than the recuited Saints. Objections to restructuring?? Suggestions?? WBardwin 06:36, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
The structure is such because it is a cut and paste of a POV article from who knows where. I broke it into sections as a meager step toward wikification, but in reality gutting and rewriting is probably better for the articles long-term health. Interesting topic that few know much about. I'm willing to contribute writing and research, if you want to go after a chunk at a time... Dr U 00:37, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
- POV/perhaps copyvio article appears 17:53, 14 June 2005 188.8.131.52 (k duryee article). Manipulation since then probably removes it from any copyvio status, but the article is a real mess.
- Most of my sources are LDS POV, but some of them are well researched and annotated. Journal material from the soldiers (and some of their wives) is readily available, but what information I have from the army's perspective shows little respect for the Mormon recruits, probably because few of them were ever interested in becoming soldiers in the first place. When you are "called" to volunteer, your attitude, perception of your role and your respect for your officers is different than the average US army soldier of the time. Plus, representatives from the LDS leadership arrived in camp at intervals, and seemed to pull the soldiers in two directions. Authority and heirarchy was difficult on both sides.
- Should we come up with a new outline? WBardwin 05:29, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
- New outline is a good idea. We can then extract many facts from the article in its current form, and plug them into the new outline. After that, trash the current version, and post our working outline as the new article, and go from there, only adding properly referenced material. I'm game.
Dr U 05:40, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
- The outline is a good start, at least. I'll go through my books and try to organize some material. Some good stuff appears to be online as well. Wikipedia doesn't yet have an article on Col. Thomas L. Kane -- who was slightly involved in the Battalion. I have some Mormon information on him but he had a Civil War Career as well. Always something else to create. WBardwin 08:54, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
==Outline== ===Introduction=== ===Battalion's origins=== ====Army's reasons for creating battalion==== ====Mormon's reasons for cooperating==== ===Muster=== ====How the Mormons were organized==== ====Who/How of Army's choice for officers==== ===The March=== ====Place they went one==== =====things they did there===== ====Place they went 23==== =====things they did there===== ===Arrival in California=== ===Post arrival duties/reenlistees=== ===Aftermath=== ====Effects on the Mormon Church==== ====Effects on the U.S. Army==== ====Effects on California==== ====Effects on individual participants==== ===Legacy today=== ===External links=== ===Works cited=== Feel free to gut the above if your writing ability outshines mine, which isn't unlikely.

unexplained deletion[edit]
This text was just deleted:
- Military Accolades
- Colonel Cooke honored the Mormon Battalion when he declared, "History may be searched in vain for an equal march of infantry. Half of it has been through a wilderness where nothing but savages and wild beasts are found, or deserts where, for want of water, there is no living creature. There, with almost hopeless labor we have dug deep wells, which the future traveler will enjoy. Without a guide who had traversed them, we have ventured into trackless table-lands where water was not found for several marches. With crowbar and pick and axe in hand, we have worked our way over mountains, which seemed to defy aught but the wild goat, and hewed a passage through a chasm of living rock more narrow than our wagons... Thus, marching half naked and half fed, and living upon wild animals, we have discovered and made a road of great value to our country."
Probably because it needs a reference - thought I would preserve it here. --Trödel 20:35, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
- If one does a quick search of "History may be searched in vain for an equal march of infantry" on google, or on google books, many sources can be found for various part of the quote, including:
- Philip St. George Cooke, "Cooke's Journal of the March of the Mormon Battalion, 1846–1847," in Ralph P. Bieber, ed., Exploring Southwestern Trails, 1846–1854 (1939), 239–40. As quoted at http://www.lds.org/gospellibrary/pioneer/12_Council_Bluffs.html
- Roberts, Brigham Henry (1919) The Mormon Battalion: its history and achievements, Deseret News, p. 52
- McClintock, James H. (1921) Mormon Settlement in Arizona, p. 15

- Bigler, David L. and Bagley, Will, ed. (2000) Army of Israel: Mormon Battalion Narratives, University of Utah Press, ISBN 978-0-87062-297-7
- Needless to say, it is a valid quote. -- 126.96.36.199 (talk) 05:33, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
re: unexplained deletion[edit]
According to several online sources the citation is: Philip St. George Cooke, "Cooke's Journal of the March of the Mormon Battalion, 1846–1847," in Ralph P. Bieber, ed., Exploring Southwestern Trails, 1846–1854 (1939), 239–40 I don't have direct access to the Bieber book (obviously out of print) or to Cooke's Journal - does it need further checking? Blbachman 21:41, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
removed cleanup tag[edit]
I took off the tag because the article seems to have improved a lot since it was put on. The only real serious thing is that the introduction is really long, and this should be fixed. Wrad 07:10, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
I have deleted the following sentence in from this article in this edit: "This remains as the longest single military march in U.S. history." This is simple incorrect, and is an item of Mormon folklore/Mormon urban myth this was recently readdressed by the LDS Church Historical Department in Legacy: Episode 39: Mormon Myths on the Mormon Channel. Please do not add this popular but incorrect notion back to the article. -- 188.8.131.52 (talk) 22:06, 4 November 2010 (UTC)

Missing information[edit]
The article says, "President Polk agreed to Little's offer if...", but there is no mention of any offer before this. Rsduhamel (talk) 03:40, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
Photo for needs citation[edit]
I have taken two photos of the Monument outside Santa Fe, which the article says needs citation (of what's written on the plaque). Since I have a photo of the plaque, it should serve as citation. How do I add a photo? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pictom (talk • contribs) 18:22, 12 June 2014 (UTC)
- Please see c:Commons:Welcome, c:Commons:First steps, c:Commons:FAQ, wp:Wikimedia Commons, and wp:Images. -- 184.108.40.206 (talk) 15:24, 16 June 2014 (UTC)
THANKS but too complicated. I added the photo. If anyone can figure out how to add this to serve as a citation,go ahead.
I also have a file of the entire monument, which I'll try to add now.
I'm confused by the selection stating I have the copyright (or something). I took the photo but I did not create the monument. (This file is my own work.) If it was asking me if I created the monument... well, just delete the whole thing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pictom (talk • contribs) 19:56, 18 June 2014 (UTC)
- Your photos are very welcome, and thank you for adding them to Commons so they could be used in this article; however the photo's are not themselves citable. Please see the sources added just now for examples of that are actual usable sources. -- 220.127.116.11 (talk) 21:47, 19 June 2014 (UTC)

Up for sale is a Lost Bottom Feeder 5'4" x 20.5" x 2.32" in great condition. The board has normal pressure dents on the deck and one small repair that was professionally done on the bottom. Comes with a $120 set of Futures Controller fins.
I'm not totally sure that I want to sell it but lately I haven't really been connecting with it and am just looking for something different. Considering a trade for other small wave boards, maybe a mini simmons or something similar. Will sell it for $350, located near Wilmington, NC.

How much do you weigh and does it float you? I have a 5'6 firewire sweet potato in pretty much perfect condition as well i'd be willing to trade. i live in jersey
Apr 1, 2014, 10:54 AM #4
I weigh 145lbs, but probably over 150 with winter gear on and it floats me great, maybe even a little big for me. I think it has the volume written on the stringer if you want to know. The 5'6" Sweet Potato would be too big for me, too bad it's not smaller, looks like a fun board.

For the past 5 years, one of my favorite local tech events of the year has been Bar Camp NYC. I'm excited to announce that BarCamp is set to return to New York City again for BarCampNYC6 on May 21st & 22nd!
There's no bar, but I'm sure we'll be hanging out at one in the evenings after the event. Be sure to bring your brain though. You'll need it, because at BarCamp you will meet and mingle with some of the brightest minds in our area.
If you haven't heard of BarCamp before, you can go to http://barcamp.org to learn more about it. Here's a short synopsis:
BarCamp is an ad-hoc gathering born from the desire for people to share and learn in an open environment. It is an intense event with discussions, demos, and interaction from attendees. The event doesn't cost any money, but there is a price: all attendees must give a demo, a session, or help with one. Anyone with something to contribute or with the desire to learn are welcome and invited to join. When you come, be prepared to share with barcampers. When you leave, be prepared to share it with the world.
From the BarCamp.org website, the basics:
BarCampNYC6 will be hosted at the Microsoft office in NYC. The Microsoft office is located in midtown Manhattan and conveniently accessed from multiple subway lines. Click here for directions.

So as you know, I had the first part of my finals in January and had to take THE longest break ever from bleurghing...and BOY oh BOY did I miss tapping away on Blanche filling you bubbas in on the ins and outs of life through my non-20/20 eyes LOL
This post is dedicated to things I missed and did in the time I was away. Its probably gonna be the longest post EVER but hope it keeps you entertained! :)
Although I stopped bleurghing, I am obsessed with Blogger that I couldn't quite stay away from my fave BLEURGHsessions! The ones that kept me going through the exam stress had to be 'Black Girls Are Easy' (hilarious stuff! Posted this on my twitter - @onyxsta - cos I was laughing so hard on the bus when reading the 'Men Choose, Women Settle' piece that the other passengers were giving me the 'loco, lock her up in a psychi-ward' glare). And my FAVE female quad-bloggers '4Aces' made an EPIC return to blogging....*sigh of relief*....oh how I missed them!
(I apologise for the mess and indoor pics but exams had me hibernating...*sigh*)
One thing that definitely helps me relax, party, zone out...anything really, is MUSIC! I am a lyric freak (as you know) and from now on, the *Soundtrack of the Minute* posted at the top will have a link to the song via YouTube :)
But anyway, I thought I'd share a snippet of my revision playlist with you guys:
- Nicki Minaj: Save me | Fly | Moment For Life
- Drake: I'm Ready For Ya
- Chipmunk ft Chris Brown: Champion
- Dr Dre: KUSH
- Fantasia: Even Angels
- Jamie Foxx: WInner
- Jazmine Sullivan: 10 Seconds | Stuttering | Luv Back | Excuse Me
- Keri Hilson: All The Boys | Toy Soldier | Beautiful Mistake
- Adele: Turning Tables | Love Song | Someone Like You
Fur Head Candy : Primark | Fur Collar : Etam (detached from an OLD cardigan that got ruined in the wash)
Neck Candy : ?? (Detached from an OLD clutch) | Jumper : H&M | Wellies : Hunter
I'm not one to stalk my star sign (Scorpio for those that care to know) daily trying to figure out why this happened or what cosmic synergy occured that prompted so-and-so to act the way they did....blah! But I wont deny the fact that when I go past the horoscope page in a magazine, I read it religiously.....or believe in the crappy superstition that you can't read another person's star sign etc. And as the secretive, sassy, complicated female that I am, I have been one to be pigeon-holed in the characteristics of a typical scorpio. So when I heard that there was an extra sign and all of a sudden I wasn't a scorpio anymore....erm....say what?? LOL...NO!

I joined the Independent Bloggers as you can see from the badge on the top right of the page....I'm so excited to broaden the audience of BLEURGH! And as the readership and fanbase keeps growing, I want to venture into new things. As you know, I have a voice and hate being caged or typecasted into one box. So this year I want to upload 'Haul' YouTube videos, guest write or feature on other blogs, review different products and places....can't wait!

I've always wanted one of these and I'm WELL chuffed I got one from the lovely Nilufar! We actually went to the same primary and secondary school, as well as college so it was lovely when we both discovered we each blog! Thanks hun, and be sure to check out her blog guys x
7 Things you didn't know about me:-
- I have a seasonal 'OnyxBerry' playlist on my Blackberry to blast away while I shower
- My eyes are pretty bad so I have glasses but NEVER really wear them *squint*
- I am a shoppaholic! Well, I guess you guys already know that *blush*
- I was gonna go down in my High School Year Book as the Biggest Clutz 'cos I fell down every single day....guearnteed!
- I am yet to take my theory or practical driving test even though I've had my Provisional since I was 18
- I am an American TV fanatic
- I want to cut my hair, old-Rihanna style this summer :)
(NOMINATE 15 OTHERS) I am passing on this award to 15 of my stylish BLEURGHsessions (apparently they have to be relatively new bloggers so no can-do to the classics, but be sure to check my sidebar on the right for my 'Daily Breads')...x

I was just rejected by a merchant (so what?), so I looked at what I could of what the merchant sees when they check out an affiliate; my list of websites listed at CJ. Three fourths of them were no longer in use. I tried to delete them but it just changes the sites status from active to deleted. I think this makes us look bad when the merchants take a look at our sites. Is this a concern for anyone else or am I just nit picking?
PS. I really don't need to keep a list of what didn't work at CJ.
If it's slick, it's not sticky.

Riven Build Guide by SolareStill
Not Updated For Current Season
This guide has not yet been updated for the current season. Please keep this in mind while reading. You can see the most recently updated guides on the browse guides page.
Thank You!
Your votes and comments encourage our guide authors to continue
creating helpful guides for the League of Legends community.
Riven Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Welcome to my guide to a good Riven.
This guide is simple and doesn't have too much information. This is what the guide will cover:
- Item Sequence
- Skills
- Farming
- Skills
- Jungling Route
- Ranked Play
- Pros / Cons of Laning and Jungling
I start off withand twobecause you want to get to your lane faster, but also so you can chase down and or escape battles early game.
Next off we getto reduce our cooldowns - this is mainly for Riven's ultimate, as it becomes very low cooldown at level 3. The rest are mostly items to set an off-tank Riven that can still deal lots of damage, while at the same time survive very well.
We start of with Broken Wings, because that deals the most damage early game. Next we get Valor, then Ki Burst, and mostly train these throughout our levels. We train Broken Wings slowly because it has a pretty high attack damage ratio, and it doesn't get any cooldown reductions. We train Valor to 5 first because it's an off-tank build, and you want to get as much "tankiness" as possible.
You want to try and last hit a group of minions with either Broken Wings or Ki Burst. If you want to get them when they're around 3/4 or 1/2 health, try using a combo of 3 strikes of Broken Wings and a Ki Burst. That usually takes them out if they're under full health.
This is where the Wraith and the three Lesser Wraiths are. This is where you start off. Engage by smiting the big Wraith, then take on the 3 Lesser Wraiths with Broken Wings and basic attacks. Once 1-2 Lesser Wraiths are dead (depending on your health) pop out a health potion.
Now head over to the wolves quickly. You want to make sure you engage the big wolf while your health potion is still up. Make sure not to waste Runic Blade on the smaller wolves, use all or however many Runic Blade stacks it takes to kill the big wolf.
You are going to recall now. The reason why we don't go straight to the golems is because we need a long sword to deal more damage because we're getting Red Buff after the golems. Yes you could recall after killing the golems, but with the long sword you can kill them faster which means you can get your Red Buff faster.
Now we head over to the golems. Use Broken Wings and Ki Burst to engage, but do not use Smite. Use your Runic Blade stacks on the golem with the highest health (or either if on same health). After killing one golem, pop out a health potion and move on to the next.
Again, you want to try and make it to Red Buff while you have a health potion on. Engage the Lizard with Valor, Broken Wings and Ki Burst, in that order. Use your stacks on Red Buff. Once it's down 1/2 or 1/3 health, use Smite. After getting Red Buff you might want to gank bottom or middle lane if they need it.
Next, head to Blue Buff. Start off with Valor, then Ki Burst the Golem, and use Broken Wings. Use all 3 stacks of Runic Blade on Blue Buff, as he is the main target. After obtaining blue, go far a gank to top or mid (only if necessary).
Recall, buy whatever you can and repeat route.
Ranked Play
Personally, I don't think Ranked Play with Riven isn't that good, but here are some tips if you are going into Ranked Play with her:
- Mostly lane, don't jungle unless you're really good
- Try and farm more
- Gank mostly as a team
Pros / Cons of Laning and Jungling
- More farm
- Teamwork
- Less ganks
- Possibly less kills
- More gold
- More ganks with buffs
- Longer build
- Takes longer to complete the build

SUNDERLAND RCA face a tough few days as they will unusually play two games, starting with tomorrow's visit of Billingham Town to Meadow Park.
Because Whitley Bay are involved in the FA Carlsberg Vase a week tomorrow, RCA have agreed to bring the fixture between the sides forward to Monday night.
Chairman Owen Haley explained: "It will give the Seahorses an extra day to prepare for their big game. We are out of the Vase but we want all the four STL Northern League clubs to reach the quarter finals and we are just too pleased to help."

The expletive-laden, 'eye-bulging' confrontation with a fourth official which led to Blackpool manager Paul Ince being hit with a five-game stadium ban has been laid bare in an astonishing 32-page report issued by the Football Association.
Ince was found to have confronted fourth official Mark Pottage in the tunnel at Bournemouth's Dean Court Stadium on Sept 14 after being sent to the stands following an incident which led to a bottle thrown by the former England captain hitting a female steward on the foot.
And in a document entitled "The Decision and Reasons of the FA Regulatory Commission", Ince is accused of igniting the clash with Pottage by asking referee Oliver Langford 'where's your busy f----- of a fourth?'
Ince, found guilty of three charges of misconduct for abusive/and or insulting words towards an official and behaviour "constituting violent conduct", is accused by referee Langford of "violently shoving" Pottage before "repeatedly shouting in an aggressive manner, 'I'll knock you f------ out you ----' " to Pottage.
Ince, who denied using the 'c' word on the grounds that "everyone who knows me will vouch that the 'c' word is a word I do not use nor accept being used by any of my players, staff or friends", admitted to using the 'f' word during his confrontation with Pottage – a man Ince described as a "big chap" who "intimidated" him.
Following confirmation of Ince's five-game stadium ban and £4,000 fine earlier this month, the Blackpool Gazette and local broadcaster Radio Wave are to hand out 10,000 Ince masks to supporters attending Saturday's Championship fixture against Wigan at Bloomfield Road in order to protest against the severity of the sanction.
But the full details of Ince's personal hearing, in which the FA produced photographic and video evidence to support its action, highlight in graphic terms the full nature of the 45-year-old's conduct following the Bournemouth fixture.
The three-man commission of chairman Thura KT Win, JP, Dr Malcolm Clarke and former Tottenham captain Gary Mabbutt heard submissions from Ince, Langford, Pottage, assistant referees Gary Jerden and Ian Crouch and Ince's assistant, Alex Rae.
Langford said: "At the end of the game as we left the field of play into the tunnel area as a team of match officials we were confronted by a clearly irate Mr Paul Ince.
"On confronting us Mr Ince asked why he had been sent to the stand. I explained to Mr Ince the reason why he politely had been asked to leave the technical area.
"It was then a clearly frustrated Mr Ince said, 'and where's your busy f------ of a fourth?' Mark Pottage, the fourth official, was stood behind Mr Ince at this time and said, 'I'm here.'
"Mr Ince then turned around and violently shoved Mr Pottage with two hands in to the chest. Stewards then quickly stepped in and tried to usher Mr Ince to the dressing room area.
"As this occurred Mr Ince, being restrained by stewards and players of Blackpool, was repeatedly shouting in an aggressive manner 'I'll knock you f------ out you ----' to Mr Pottage. Mr Ince's eyes were bulging, he was clearly pointing as being pushed backwards by the stewards and repeatedly saying, 'I'll knock you f------ out you ----.' "
Dorset official Pottage, who accused Rae of "coming right up to my face as if to try to put his forehead on my chin", echoed Langford's statement by describing Ince as being "violent" and "aggressive".
"Mr Ince turned round, looked at me in the eyes and violently shoved me by pushing me with two hands on my chest making me slightly lose my balance and banging my back into the wall," Pottage said.
"The stewards then quickly stepped in and restrained Mr Ince and then tried to usher Mr Ince towards his team's dressing room. As they were trying to do this, Mr Ince shouted to me saying 'I'll knock you f------ out you ----' repeatedly in an aggressive manner."
Ince, having admitted to saying "I'll f------ knock you out' at least once, issued a 'wholehearted' apology, despite accusing Pottage of sparking the incident by alerting the referee to his bottle throwing.
"I admit, and wholeheartedly apologise for, my post-match reactions as reported by the match officials involved in the game," Ince said. "I disagree with some of the points made in the statements in support of the charge and am especially concerned with important incidents that have not been included in any of the reports.
"I also maintain that Mr Pottage's actions were a contributory factor in the escalation of this regrettable incident. In hindsight I should have been the bigger person and stepped away from Mr Pottage after he fronted me up and I should have reported Mr Pottage and his behaviour through the correct channels."


text: The city just recently completed a drainage project through my property. The is both an underground drainage systema and above ground drainage swale (emergency swale). The emergency swale is rock lined in my backyard with a catch basin, then becomes a 12" deep (by 20' wide) grass-lined swale in the front yard. They added a double curb chase drain, which allows for draining right into the street drain, but the drain seems on ly drain till the last inch. So the last inch of water remains in my yard, resulting in a super soggy center part with is about 3' wide by maybe 10-15 into the yard. The sod looks green but is difficult to mow and isn't rooting like it is everywhere else. It's starting to look black in a few spots. I also spotted a small toad the other day when mowing. The water depth by the curb is about 1" deep. Its progressively less deep as you go further from the curb and seems mowable 10-15' into the yard. I also don't have enough drop in my yard for them to correct this issue. When me or my neighbor irrigates our yard, the water can flow all the way from the back to front in some instances. So this area seems perpetually wet, even during weeks when no rainfall has occured at all. So my question is: - do I try to pump this water out? - do I try to convert some yard to water loving plants than can be overrun by water on occasion ? - do I try install veritical PVC drains to give the final 10 gallons another place to go? or a drywell? - do I add pourous layers, like rock into this area, to give water a new home ... or will that just make this existing puddle deeper? Here is a picture of my front yard before the sod was added:

She has been teamed with her handler Jose, who is responsible for her training and conditioning, turning her into the perfect killing machine. Henrietta strives to find her place within the Agency, doing her best to win Jose's affection. But can Jose control her?

ISIS suicide bombers target Med coast – 100 dead
TERRIFYING images have emerged from a series of deadly terror bomb blasts in Syria.
Islamic State have claimed responsibility for the attacks in the Mediterranean coastal cities of Jablah and Tartous, which killed more than 100 people.
Pictures showed several twisted and incinerated cars and minivans.
Scores were wounded in at least five suicide attacks and two car bombs, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
The news comes after it was reported a multi-million pound anti-terror base is being set up to protect isolated villages and holiday parks from ISIS.
The hub in south-west England will have intelligence gathering teams as well as a unit of specially-trained firearms officers.
Monday's co-ordianted attacks in Syria are the first of their kind in Tartous, where government ally Russia maintains a naval facility, and Jableh.
ISIS said it was deliberately targeting supporters of President Bashar al-Assad.
State media reported that a car bomb and two suicide bombers attacked a petrol station in Tartous.
In Jableh, one of the four blasts hit near a hospital, state media and the Observatory reported.
Pictures circulated by social media users showed dead bodies in the back of pick-up vans and charred body parts on the ground.
The Syrian Observatory said at least 53 people were killed in Jableh, and 48 in Tartous.
The interior ministry put the death toll much lower in a statement.

NORTHART News
New exhibitions opening February 4th at NorthArt
Once again Northart has made an excellent start to the year, with the opening reception of the Fixed Format, the members' exhibition, attracting well over 120 artists and their guests. The show went on to prove rather popular (despite the beach weather) but now has run its course and on February 4 we open a suite of new shows.
While our (Western) New Year holiday seems but a dream for those of us who have been back at work for a couple of weeks, we are now preparing for Asian New Year – February 10 ushers in the Year of the Snake. Here at Northart we are starting our celebrations a little early with three new exhibitions starting on Monday February 4th.
Taiwanese New Zealander Ivy Ma is a skilled practitioner of traditional Chinese watercolour painting and she will be exhibiting twelve or so works – dramatic landscapes, of quaint, pretty villages teetering on the brink of snow laden cliff faces, as well as serene still lives and flower studies. Jen-Ta Lin also works in watercolours; his compositions and subjects are more contemporary, everyday street scenes, parks and waiting rooms, while the third participant is Chinese calligrapher, Jimmy Yuan.
Timing Spaces, an innovative film based exhibition which explores our sense of time and place through both Eastern and Western artistic perspectives, opens at Northart at February the 4th also. It will encourage visitors to slow down and engage with the reality captured in a series of wall projection works – video based pieces as well as interactive art installations which pick up the movements of viewers standing in front of the work. The exhibition is an Auckland Council initiative and the four featured artists, Mengmeng Guo, Clinton Watkins, Leo Zhou and Robert Carter, are recent art school graduates.
These shows close February 20; the following Sunday evening we open four new and exciting exhibitions.
David Austin and Carly van Wintel are both established photographers who have been studying for Masters of Design degrees at Unitec over the past few years. They will be presenting their graduation exhibitions – Small Town Revelations (Helensville) and Trophy Hunting in New Zealand.
John Perry – artist, consultant, collector and expert in New Zealand folk art – has brought together a body of small intimate collages for his exhibition Alphabet Soup. Working with a Find/ Collect/ Employ philosophy, Perry uses text from a wide variety of ages, styles and sources and includes especially prepared papers to produce art works that are variously whimsical, witty, ironical and thought provoking.
Textile based artist Renee Kim also transforms seemingly everyday bits and pieces of fabric and fibre into innovative and challenging art works. She cuts, patches, stitches and rearranges a smorgasboard of historical Western objects, patterns and images she has collected together with antique linens, fine cloths and ephemera from her Korean culture, and in so doing repurposes them, gives them a new lease of life appropriate for today's world.
Ivy Ma is also tutoring a Chinese watercolour class for children on Saturday February 9th, 11am start, entry by koha. It coincides with Northcote Shopping Centre's Chinese New Year festivities, with its full on programme of music and dance, with lots of food and other stalls and of course the traditional dragon dance.
In other public programmes Renee Kim is giving a floor talk on the works in her show on Sunday 10 March at 2pm, and John Perry close his show with a floor talk on Wednesday 13 March at 7pm. All welcome.
If you can't get to the gallery during regular opening hours (10am – 4pm daily during exhibitions, closed public holidays) make up a party and come along after hours (a small fee applies). For further information, please contact the gallery on 480 9633 or visit www.northart.co.nz

Just a short update on the Signed & Numbered edition of Unfettered.
The short of it: The book isn't done yet. Or rather, the book is done but the signature pages are not. There are seven contributors left to sign yet: Brandon Sanderson, Blake Charlton, Tad Williams, Peter Orullian, Terry Brooks, Todd Lockwood, and myself.
It sounds like a lot but it isn't. Once Brandon, Blake, and Tad sign, the pages will be shipped to Seattle where Peter, Terry, Todd, and me can sign them all at once.
Then the book can be sent to the printer. I can't wait for that to happen! Thank you again for your patience. The book will be worth it.
I promise.
Happy Holidays!

Toys You Grew Up With That Would Be Banned Today
Filed Under Entertainment | Leave a Comment
Doug Ross does Irwin Mainway and his "Johnny Space Commander Mask" toy (seen left) proud with an impressive list of toys that you may have grown up playing with that would be banned these days.
And hey, the people who played with some of these toys as kids only managed to go on to invent the airplane, cure polio and go to the moon, so it's a good thing our lives are safer and we're making greater progress now that life is being made risk-free.
The toy at the top of the list is "Lawn Darts." Don't tell the safety police, but in the barn here at the compound we have a full set of something called "Jarts — missile game" — lawn darts on steroids. The tips are made of metal, they're sharp, heavy, fun to play with, and make a hell of a home-defense weapon.

City Honors Heartbreakers
Gainesville Sun – October 3, 1985
It was recognition from a former musician to a present musician on Wednesday night when Gainesville Mayor-Commissioner Gary Gordon declared October as Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers month.
Gordon, who played in several local bands before turning his attention to politics, presented a proclamation to drummer Stan Lynch, the only one of the Heartbreakers still living in the Gainesville area.
The recognition came for the band's contributions to Live Aid and Farm Aid, two benefit concerts.
"(I) ask all out citizens to recognize the hard work, dedication, time and energy contributed by these musicians to the worthy efforts of the Live Aid and Farm Aid concerts, organizations, and goals," Gordon's proclamation said.
"I would have never imagined 15 years ago that two musicians would end up doing anything so honorable," Lynch said after accepting the proclamation for the group. He also recieved a key to the city from Gordon.
Lynch said he was deeply honored by the proclamation, saying, "I'm real proud of Gainesville. I always have been."
Band members Tom Petty, Benmont Tench and Mike Campbell are also Gainesville natives, who, along with bass played Howie Epstein, live in Los Angeles.

One Night in Bangkok
Bangkok Travel Blog› entry 2 of 2 › view all entries
My ignorance of Bangkok (and Thailand in general) was pretty complete prior to coming here yesterday with the exception that somewhere along the way I picked up an opinion that the place was dodgy and probably best avoided. One day later my opinion generally still stands (the place is dodgy) but now that I've experienced it I'll no longer be looking to avoid it.
My night started out with stepping into BKK airport at around 20:45 local time with a happy recognition of having been here before, just over a year ago during a short stopover on a Sydney to London flight. As I hadn't stepped out of the airport on that occasion everything beyond the gates was completely new.
My cab ride from the airport to my hotel in the center of Bangkok reminded me that I was kind of in the wild west of old with the cab driver speeding most of the way at probably nothing less than 120mph. I couldn't say for sure as his speedometer wasn't working. He was clearly in a hurry, passing many drivers along the way and flashing those in front of him when they wouldn't pull into a slower lane. Concerning as this was, it didn't seem so bad as there were a slightly more aggressive few who passed us at higher speeds and who didn't care about what lane was for passing. The fact that I didn't have my seat belt on, or even one to put on, wasn't a concern for my driver and therefore wasn't something I felt he should be bothered to be reminded of.
I arrived safe and sound at my hotel and paid him the fare as pre-arranged at the airport. I checked in to my room, happy to find an oasis of western comfort and a sense of familiarity for the numerous hotels I'd stayed at in the previous couple of years. After a short freshening up and brief (failed) attempt to come up with a suitable Bangkok destination to head for, I decide to try to find a bar within walking distance of the hotel.
The concierge directs me to the back entrance of the hotel leading to a street which does indeed have a few bars & restaurants. However none of them seem too appealing and the whole street feels wrong; more of a back alley than a main street with narrow narrow sidewalks if any at all. And the whole street has a lingering smell of dog faeces or otherwise. I decided to walk towards what looks to be a more main street but which in fact turns out to be just a turn in the road with some people mulling about. After a few more turns, more dodgy smells and at least a couple of cabs slowing or stopping, clearly suspecting I was a lost white-boy in Bangkok I reach a main street but with no sign of any bars nearby, nor much of anything. Another taxi stops knowing I'm lost and this time I jump in. "F-Lounge", I say, "On Soi 20 Sukhumvit" doing my best to pronounce it. A worrying 10 seconds of trying to show the cabbie where it is on a map ensues, and we set off.
Within a few minutes the cab pulls up in front of a building where a doorman opens my door. "Is this the F-lounge" I ask him, to which his confused expression indicates it clearly isn't. Although his English is significantly better than my cab driver's, the two of them, in conjunction with my free map from the airport containing the F-lounge advert, fail to have any knowledge of the place other than it's possibly back down the street from which we just came. My cabbie heads back slowly and after about 200 yards I decide to give up and change plans.
I step out of the cab and into a place called "Sabai Sabai Massage" which I'd decided would provide my first experience of a 'proper' Thai massage. The entrance area, containing a couple wooden benches and three chaise lounges is empty with the exception of a Thai boy behind a desk and a Thai girl who disappears into a back room. I review the menu on the desk, and decide on a 60 min choice with Coconut oil to which the Thai boy tells me that there'd be a wait of about 20 minutes for the masseuse to finish up. As I have some time to kill I figure I'd ask him if he knows about the 'F-lounge' I'd been searching for. He points me back down the road from which I'd just come saying he thinks it's just on the left. I take a short stroll and, sure enough, there it was down a small drive also containing two restaurants. Unfortunately, it's starting to close up as it's coming up on 12:45 am.
On my way back I see a white boy (American looking) coming out of the Sabai Sabai and feel slightly reassured that if some other tourist had frequented it then perhaps it's ok. I step in and within a minute the Thai girl who had disappeared into the back room puts a pan of water in front of my feet and instructs me to remove my shoes. A quick scrub down of my feet and I follow her up the stairs where I'm hoping she's going to pass me over to the slightly cuter Thai masseuse girl I'd seen, particularly if the massage involves the naked rub-down activity that I'd heard of from a friend who'd recently been to Thailand. Two floors up and I'm shown to a foam mat on the floor with a linen cloth curtain hanging from a track in the ceiling much like a hospital ward. The Thai girl points to a towel on a table and drawing the curtain invites me in poor English to prepare myself as she steps away. I remove my shirt, then hesitantly my trousers and begin to wrap the towel arond me as she comes back in with a fake Louis Vuitton leather bag. Concluding that the cuter Thai masseuse was seemingly not in the picture I reassess my masseuse's assets; not ugly, but rather chubby, particularly for a Thai girl. Could be worse, I decide, but not particularly something I want to see naked nevermind rubbing themselves on me. Confused about whether I was supposed to be fully naked I explain that I'd never had a Thai massage before, hoping that she might lay out the game plan of what was about to happen. No such explanation comes forth but merely broken English instructing me to lie down face first on the mat. "Fair enough" I figure. "Let's see what this is about".
Forty minutes later, my 1 hour massage is over and thankfully I'm still the only one naked. Although my underpants had been removed about 10 minutes into the experience, the only places her hands had gone were where I'd have expected them to go with the exception that she didn't massage my neck very much. I consider complaining about the 15 minutes short change to both her and the boy at the desk but decide against it and merely pay the 700 baht, thank them, and step back into the street. It's just gone 1:30am.
A few minutes later and I'm back in another cab on my way back to my hotel. "Do you know of any good bars still open at this time" I ask my cabbie off-handedly. "Oh Yes. There many bars near here" he replies. "You want to go bar? I take you". A couple seconds reflection & I say "Yeah, ok. Take me to a bar". "Why the hell not?" I think. "I'm too awake still to be going back to my hotel to sleep". A number of minutes later and my cab pulls up outside a building with various cabs and bike-things jostling around in front of it and a platinum embossed sign on it saying "BOSS" in an Arial type font. A 300 baht entry-fee-including-free-drink later and I step into a rather non-descript large room, sparsely filled, predominantly with local looking people and a few fellow European looking types. The house music pumping from the sound system fails to produce much in terms of dancing activity and I find myself a stool at the bar between a couple middle-eastern type guys who seem to have something going with a table of Thai girls about 10 feet away, and an older Asian man seemingly on his own and not having much regard for anything other than the glass of scotch directly in front of him. Other than the bartender girl who delivers my JD and coke, no one seems to take much notice of me and I casually scope the place out. I proceed to light up a cigarette, partially because smoking and drinking go hand in hand, but more for the guilty pleasure of knowing that such a thing is illegal in all the "civilized" parts of the world.
As my cigarette finishes and I'm contemplating my departure back to my hotel, a Thai girl confidently strides up to me and says "Hi! What's your name?". Slim, attractive, wearing a white skirt and matching top which just exposes a small amount of cleavage from a reasonably pert set of breasts which I figure to be of around 25 years age, I look her up & down and reply "My name's Mike. What's yours?". "Phon" she replies as she shakes my hand and nonchalantly rubs her thighs into mine in an effort to speak directly into my ear. "Where are you from?" she inquires. Small chat ensues which eventually reveals that her reason for coming to the club involved her "working" but with no further details. She seemed to come to this place fairly regularly with her girlfriends at the table around 15 feet away. "Kind of a peculiar bar this" I say, "Nobody's dancing". "You like dance" she asks. "I dance for you" she says, and proceeds to dance in front of my bar stool. Another girl, fairly plump and wearing a "Boss Bar staff" shirt proceeds to grind into Phon and subsequently my leg protruding from my stool for a minute before instructing Phon that if she wants to dance she should go onto the dance floor. Phon decides to stop dancing and I decide to order another drink as we continue to converse. As I signal the bartender, Phon rubs up against me and says into my ear "You buy me a drink too, yes?" Not wanting to be rude, I do and we continue to talk.
As it turns out, What I took for a body of 25 was actually 40 years of age and had borne a son who is now 20 yrs old and living with Phon's mother somewhere up in north-eastern Thailand where she's originally from. The father of the child, who had been physically abusive to Phon, was apparently no longer in the picture and the 5000+ baht/8hr journey restricted her from seeing her son and family more than once or twice a year. She'd like to see them more and/or to be able to provide more financial support for her son particularly as he had a bad heart which seemingly was a symptom from the fumes she breathed in while doing her job at an electronics factory while pregnant with him. None of this info came out particularly readily nor was it proffered in any way to extract sympathy for her plight. It was all very matter-of-fact discussion while sipping our drinks. And maybe I'd like to come dance with her on the dance floor, she suggested while continuing to rub her hips and other body parts into me as we talked?
We move onto the empty dance floor, just in front of Phon's friends who had continued to linger at their table drinking their drinks. Phon's 40-appearing-as-25 year old body grinded into mine unapologetically as the music pumped and her "working" activities became clearer. "You want me come home with you?" she asks. "I show you good time for 2000 baht" she says as she grinds into me once again.
I left the bar shortly thereafter, slightly less naive than when I'd come in. And became even further less naive this morning by educating myself on "Thai Massage" and "Thai prostitution" as explained in Wikipedia. My 'one night in Bangkok' has lived up to my expectations however I think I've still got a few things to learn about this place...

In developed countries, the deployment of superfast broadband (SFB) is today one of the hottest topics in connection with the convergence of fixed and mobile. Plans for replacing a landline with a mobile line are nothing new.
The substitution by LTE of fixed broadband started to be offered by mobile players two or three years ago in European markets.
Many players are jumping onto the bandwagon, displaying a variety of strategies in a fast-moving industry.
The business case for fixed LTE is clearly there – whilst rather limited in advanced countries, it is wide open in developing markets.
The key question is if fixed LTE technology is going to win the race against fibre and hybrid and, if so, when? Today, LTE for fixed access appears to be the least expensive option to provide medium speeds in rural areas. The option of hybrid solutions combining xDSL and LTE is becoming a worthy competitor.

We've been stalking the talented artist, Holly Young on Instagram for some time now. She's a gal after our own hearts, with her abstract paintings full of colors and movement. We're trying to figure out how to get one of her beauties on our own walls. If anything, we'd take just spending the day with her, thrifting, exploring architecture or chatting about mid-century design. All things that make this women's heart tick. Just a few more reasons to love her.
Her artwork speaks to us, and we had to share with you. We can't quite figure out if it's her color choices or the texture that's grabbing us. Take a look and maybe you can help us decide.
We asked Holly to share with us a little bit about herself, and here's what she had to say:
We had a few exchanges with Holly online and she has melted our hearts with her kindness and amazing sense of style. This is someone to keep your eye on, folks. She is not only creating amazing works of art, but we also see a house tour in the future!
You can see more of Holly's artwork, here and here. If it's daily inspiration you are looking for then we suggest you add her to your Instagram feed. Thank you Holly, your work is amazing!
Love, The Sisters

Spring Allergies Start Strong and Last Long As Extreme Weather Patterns Continue
Apr 02, 2013, 06:00 ET from Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America
Spring Allergy Capitals Report Ranks Most Challenging Cities
LANDOVER, Md., April 2, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Extreme weather patterns may contribute to a severe and long allergy season this spring, according to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA). The 2013 Spring Allergy Capitals™ report released today by AAFA – the 11th year of the report – ranks the most challenging cities to live with allergies in the United States. This new list shows the increased potential for severe and prolonged allergy symptoms as spring arrives early, and as many regions of the country recover from severe storms and flooding. For specific allergy risks in 100 U.S. cities and tips on managing allergy symptoms, visit www.AllergyCapitals.com. The report is an independent research project of AAFA sponsored by DYMISTA™ (azelastine hydrochloride and fluticasone propionate), the first and only seasonal allergy spray to block histamine and treat inflammation for effective relief of seasonal allergy symptoms.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130402/DC86402)
"Severe weather patterns can bring higher temperatures, higher pollen levels and increased exposure to outdoor mold, resulting in spring allergies that can peak stronger and last longer," said Bill Berger, MD, Allergy and Asthma Associates of Southern California. "Too often, people with seasonal allergies suffer silently while their symptoms worsen year after year. Allergy sufferers need to learn more about allergies and visit an allergy specialist for a proper diagnosis and treatment. Often more can be done to relieve allergy symptoms that interfere with daily life."
Residents across the United States can expect more severe allergy conditions this year as an unusually wet winter and early warm temperatures lead to earlier tree pollination and higher levels of pollen and outdoor mold. Northern cities predicted to face a more challenging spring allergy season compared to one year ago include: Buffalo, NY (rising 10 spots to #15 out of 100 cities), Springfield, MA (rising from #74 to #18), Richmond, VA (rising from #46 to #22), Detroit, MI (rising from #50 to #26) and Toledo, OH (rising from #57 to #29).
"The severe allergy conditions expected in many cities across the country means more challenges for patients, and a need for powerful and effective treatment options for them to help manage their condition," said Mike Tringale, Vice-President of External Affairs at AAFA.
There is no cure for allergies. Nearly half of seasonal allergy patients are unhappy with how slowly their prescription medicines work and many patients still experience breakthrough of severe symptoms despite using a seasonal allergy medication.(1) Patients with seasonal allergies want a safe, easy-to-use medicine that completely controls their symptoms, especially if those symptoms are severe. The best way for people to manage seasonal allergies is to avoid allergy triggers like pollen and outdoor mold, get properly diagnosed, and use fast-acting, more effective medications to prevent and treat symptoms. DYMISTA™ is the first and only medicine that both reduces inflammation while also blocking histamine, one of the underlying causes of seasonal allergy symptoms.
This year's ranking shows that nasal allergies are a problem nationwide, especially in southern states. Overall, 15 of the top 25 cities on this year's ranking are in the South. These findings are consistent with research showing that spring now arrives 10 to 14 days earlier than it did just 20 years ago, bringing with it increased pollen counts.(2,3)
Recent hurricanes, severe storms and tornadoes can also affect the severity of spring allergies. The increased presence of mold in areas damaged by floods can trigger allergic reactions. Major urban areas and locations with significant construction may also see an increased risk for severe allergies, because pollen from weeds proliferates in places with development projects. Finally, ground-level ozone pollution can affect allergy symptoms.
For 2013, Jackson, MS, claimed the top spot on AAFA's Spring Allergy Capitals ranking, followed by Knoxville, TN (#2) and Chattanooga, TN (#3). Of note, three major cities, Philadelphia, New Orleans and Dallas each climbed slightly higher in the top 25 compared with last year. "AAFA encourages the 40 million Americans who suffer from seasonal allergies to learn more, consult an allergy specialist, and insist on adequate symptom relief," said Tringale. An interactive map of 100 cities, resources about diagnosis, prevention and treatment options, resources for physicians, and more information on the study methodology are available at www.AllergyCapitals.com.
About the Research
The Spring Allergy Capitals™ ranking is an annual research and educational project of AAFA, designed to help patients recognize, prevent and safely treat allergy symptoms. Through this ranking, AAFA raises awareness of allergies and provides helpful information designed to improve the quality of life for people with allergies. AAFA and DYMISTA™ are working together this year to promote the findings of the report, educate the public about this chronic disease, and encourage people to get diagnosed and properly treated.
The Allergy Capitals™ are identified and ranked based on pollen levels, use of over-the-counter and prescription allergy medication and number of Board Certified allergists.
About AAFA
Now in its 60th year, the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA) is the leading nonprofit consumer and patient organization dedicated to fighting asthma and allergic diseases. AAFA provides free information to the public, offers educational programs to consumers and health professionals, leads advocacy efforts to improve patient care, and funds research to find a cure.

Slingshot: New BAD customer service
I dont know how many of you ride Slingshot's product, but I was a strong believer in them. Their customer service used to be the BEST. I am now convinced that I will no longer buy anything they sell, due to how things are going now. Its not the same as it used to be, and I understand the economy isn't so hot, but they should definitely have someone working in warranty that knows their own butt from a hole in the ground... And as far as I can tell, they have some people working in departments they definitely should NOT be in.
All in all, I see Slingshot's customer service going straight down the drain! After a couple things happened recently, I REFUSE to purchase anything they sell now.
Anybody else had any issues? I feel that I am not the only one who has these feelings now!
nice first post... I have not had to deal with their warranty dept, but did have to talk to customer service, I had a good experience with them...
uhh ohh... maybe more time is needed to get things in sway after the change up? i have not had to deal with customer service. probably wont till those RAD boots come out. i want to check those out (like everyone else ;))
For reference
I haven't had to deal with them since Kyle left... but while he was there it was seriously better than best.
I would call with a problem, expect they could do nothing and would have understood, and next thing you know I have the warranty guy's cell phone so he could help me resolve my problem while he was on vacation.... hard to beat that.
yea, it's supposed to transfer over sometime Dave said. You can also change the display mode and see the text
Could you explain a little more about your situation? I had some trouble when I first got my bindings, and then they tore, but they replaced them just seeing the photos and didnt have wait but about a week before I had some new ones and never sent anything off but emails.
Yeah, I agree with Highrock. If your so upset tell us why! My board is gettin old and I'm starting to look for new ones. I love Hyperlite's customer service. I have had countless pairs of boots rip on me and they just replace them, and finally they upgraded me from Foundations to 3DS for $40. Not to mention the lifetime warranty they offer on their boards. Unfortunately I'm not a big fan of the boards they offer right now. What happened with Slingshot? I'm hard on gear so I'd like to know the company I purchase from is going to be as good to me as the guys at Hyperlite were.
Dont knock on slingshot after my boot liners fell out of the boat last week they sent me brand new liners free of charge...now thats customer service
you wouldn't happen to be an ex-employee or ex-rider hiding behind an alias, would you?

Title of Performance Task: Investigating Sharks
Grade Level: 4
Task Summary: This task is to be completed over two phases. Phase 1, students prepare for writing by reading source materials and prewriting/planning activities. Prewriting/planning involves writing notes in graphic organizers. (Optional: students may access Internet for more information about two sharks.) Students use fact sheets to decide on a opinion as well as explore supporting and opposing reasons. [After phase 1, students will be given a break.] In phase 2, students write an opinion piece to present their choice and the reasons for it.

Rotate roles. Allow people who have always worked in the shadows to step up to the limelight once in a while. There is nothing worse than being stuck supporting a project that was completed three years ago, and only doing maintenance on it. Everyone wants to try something new once in a while. Allow your IT talents to volunteer to work on new projects instead of assigning tasks. You might be surprised at the results.
Reward the support team. Maybe you don't have enough new projects or enough manpower to satisfy everyone's thirst for new experiences. That's all right. Think of rewarding your support teams periodically, simply because they are doing a bang up job of keeping the business afloat.
Supporting roles are not the most glamorous, but whether in movies, in hospitals, or in IT, they are critical. Companies celebrate their secretaries, hospitals celebrate their nurses; think of celebrating your support teams. Make a big deal out of it.
In any horse race, there will always be the stud, the one everybody expects to cross the finish line first. Then there are the others, the also-rans, the underdogs that only the owners will love. They may not be the most exciting horses, but they are the ones that allow you to have a race worth running.
