Your Views for January 4
Help adoptees
The absence of justice hurts, yet the application of justice is only common sense. But, more often than not, the intelligence to insure justice mysteriously disappears.
This is what happened to approximately 35,000 foreign-born adoptees of American parents: One would think legal adoption of foreign-born children in the United States would guarantee American citizenship. Think again. A large number of adopting American parents for one reason or another failed to apply for American citizenship for these children. This would have guaranteed all rights of citizenship for their foreign-born adoptees.
Many adoptees, now adults with families of their own, have been cruelly torn from their spouses and children in deportation proceedings to countries of their birth, where they are unfamiliar with the language and culture only because their adopting parents failed to apply for their American citizenship. They were never considered American citizens and did not have any rights of American citizenship. With political encouragement, pending legislation could fix this grave injustice.
In an effort to correct such injustices, the Adoptee Citizenship Act was introduced in Congress in 2015 by Sen. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota as Senate Bill 2275, which would grant retroactive citizenship to all foreign-born adoptees, including those who already were deported. So far, this bill has not passed in Congress.
In the interest of justice, please contact your senator and congressional representative to urge passage of the Adoptee Citizenship Act.
In the meantime, if you are the parent of a foreign-born adoptee, age 19 or older, please protect your adopted child's rights by applying for American citizenship if you have not already done so.
In the interest of justice, thank you.

Mahalo, service club
While taking down the Christmas tree, I started thinking what a value to the community Hilo's Y's Men &Women Service Club Christmas tree program is.
My wife and I have lived here for 15 years now, and for almost all of that time have bought our tree there. For all of that time we have never had a bad tree or unpleasant experience at the lot. Their effort to make buying a tree a warm and meaningful thing is true to the Christmas and aloha spirit!
Anyone can buy a tree at a big box store; contributing to the service club's cause is in the true spirit of the season.

Ingredient to Love: Pineapple
Photo credits: Marietta College, Tomato Tango
We love pineapples. A fresh pineapple on a warm day is one of the best things ever!
Pineapple contains bromelain, a naturally enzyme, which aids in digestion. It also makes a wonderful exfoliant for the skin. Gentle enough for sensitive skin yet powerful enough to leave you feeling silky smooth! Bromelain enzymes dissolve and digest the cellular glue that holds old skin cells to the surface of the skin, then digest those flattened skin cells to reveal smoother skin underneath. The key benefit of enzyme exfoliants is that they do not OVER-exfoliate and they cause no inflammation. Depending on the percentage of bromelain used and skin condition, topical enzymes can be used twice a week or daily.
Pineapple also contains loads of Vitamin C for brightening and antioxidant protection, Vitamin B for skin strength, and manganese and copper for mineral support. Internally, pineapple can boost your daily intake of folic acid – which along with those natural enzymes for digestive support can be a lifesaver for you moms-to-be!
Find Pineapple enzymes in the Osmosis Purify Cleanser and the Sanitas Papaya Pineapple Mask.
Want to make your own pineapple exfoliating mask at home? Here's our favorite recipe:
Perfect Pineapple Mask
- 2 large pieces of fresh pineapple (cored and peeled)
- 1 tbsp raw organic honey
- 1 tsp organic coconut oil (for dry skin)
- blend pineapple with a tiny bit of water (if needed) in blender until it's a thick soup-like consistency
- pour into cup or bowl
- add in honey and coconut oil (if desired)
- blend until smooth with fork
- apply to clean, damp skin (preferably in the shower to utilize steam and not make too much of a mess)
- leave on skin for 5-15 minutes
- rinse thoroughly
- apply appropriate serum or moisturizer

At the close of the 50th year since Israel captured the West Bank and Gaza and applied military rule over the people residing there, Gershon Shafir publishes a new book that not only documents the occupation in all its facets, but also how Israelis and Palestinians experience it. The former group lives as subjects of a colonial system, in Shafir's view, while the latter, he argues, lives in their own state - one he terms "denialism."
This season of the Tel Aviv Review is made possible by The Van Leer Jerusalem Institute, which promotes humanistic, democratic, and liberal values in the social discourse in Israel.

A man fatally struck his wife with an iron bar after he allegedly caught her feeding another man he suspected to be her lover.
Zvenyika Bhasera allegedly struck his wife, Vongai Muonde (36) with an iron bar on the head after finding her busy feeding another man in a secluded bushy area.
Bhasera (42), who was allegedly watching the drama from a nearby hide-out was allegedly incensed after he saw his wife taking food to her alleged lover at their usual love nest in the village prompting him to pounce on the love birds.
Masvingo police spokesperson Inspector Peter Zhanero yesterday said Bhasera had since been arrested and was being charged with murder. He said his wife's body was taken to Silveira Mission Hospital for a post-mortem.
On the day in question, Bhasera went into a bushy area near his home and hid close to an area he suspected to be a love nest for his wife and a fellow villager. After some time he allegedly saw his wife carrying some food which she had cooked and taking it to a bushy area.
Bhasera then allegedly saw his wife and the suspected lover briefly chatting before his wife started feeding her lover.
In a fit of rage, Bhasera armed himself with an iron bar and charged towards the couple who were having a nice time. He allegedly struck his wife thrice on the head with an iron bar resulting in her falling unconscious. The woman's alleged lover fled from the scene.
Bhasera's wife was taken to Negovanhu clinic where she was pronounced dead on arrival.

The Comic Con news that was once trickling in now seems to be trickling a bit faster. It's not quite a flood yet, and we might not expect it to be until SDCC announces each days full line-up of panels and those of us planning to attend begin the nerve-racking process of trying to figure out how we can attend all of the panels we want to attend, which - for any fan obsessed with more than one comic, TV show or movie franchise - is virtually impossible...

Tyler Seguins explosion at the end of the playoff series against the Washington Capitals seems all the more remarkable when it was learned hell likely need offseason surgery.
Seguin showed an enlarged knuckle on his left hand middle finger that indicated a displaced tendon injury suffered during Bostons last trip through Florida in March, and something he played through pain with during the postseason.
Asked he had taken a couple of painkilling shots to get through the postseason, Seguin smiled and said I think everybody was doing a little something by the time the playoffs rolled around.
Its hard to feel good about what happened, but getting a feel for the playoffs was something I was happy about."
Seguin finished with two goals in the final two playoff games against the Capitals after getting shut down for the first five games of the series, and said it definitely bothered him at points after it originally happened. The 20-year-old also said the injury would require surgery before he jumps back into his offseason training program with BioSteel Sports up in Toronto. He may try to participate in World Championships before getting his hand worked on, but its definitely an inevitability for the youngster.
I have to talk to the doctors, but Ill definitely need something. In the first period during my second shift the tendon came out. It was one of those things that I had to playing through at the end of the season and the playoffs, said Seguin. It wasnt going to get any worse, so as long as I could bear the pain. Its a couple of weeks of recovery after I get it done.
It wasnt anything that was going to keep me from playing. At the time I was going to miss a few games. I was a game time decision against Philly during that game in our building when we ended up winning in the shootout. But I didnt end up missing any time.
Clearly the youngster was happy with the way things ended for him after getting an overtime game-winner in Game 6 and serving as one of the teams best forwards in the decisive Game 7. But he was also among a group of top six forwards that didnt get it done consistently enough to defeat a gritty Capitals crew that never back down.
Seguin also wants much more involvement on the power play moving forward, and that can mean nothing but good things for the Bruins.
The power play has always kind of been my thing, said Seguin. During my whole life Ive always liked the power play and its always been a part of my game. While Im still gaining experience I think Ill be finding even more spots on the power play. Its something I can only improve on.
The Bs leading scorer said he hopes to take on more of the Marc Savard role on the man advantage off the half-wall where he can use his versatile skill to serve as a triple threat when he curls and drags: he can shoot with deadly accuracy, find open teammates with passes all over the ice or taking the puck straight to the net.
Thats what Im hoping for. Its still a lot different than juniors where I always thought was kind of my go to in juniors. At the NHL level theres that learning factor and finding spots on the ice.
Coming a season where he was Bostons leading scorer and an All-Star performer, power play magician for a unit that went 2-for-23 against the Capitals might be the next rabbit to be pulled out of the youngsters hat.

Despite the ravages of occupation and revolution magnificent Orthodox churches and spectacular monasteries have survived17 March 2017
Chris Deliso from Sofia
The re-emergence of the Russian Orthodox Church since the fall of the Soviet Union is well documented. But Bulgarian Christianity too has flourished since the demise of the Communist Party in December 1989, a month after the fall of the Berlin Wall. To journey through Christian Bulgaria is to pass through more than 1,000 years of history, and to wonder at the survival of the faith.
Today 60 per cent of Bulgaria's 7.6 million population declare themselves Bulgarian Orthodox, while the presence of more than half a million Muslims in Bulgaria provides a stark reminder of half a millennium of continuous Ottoman rule, since the late fourteenth century.
Since emerging from the communist deep freeze, Bulgaria has seen a strong revival of its historic, and largely Orthodox Christian traditions. Everywhere one goes, from cities to the mountainous countryside, Bulgaria's rich Christian heritage is on full display, in many hundreds of churches and monasteries both large and small. The most impressive and spiritually significant of them date from the Byzantine-influenced mediaeval Bulgarian Empire and from the 19-century "national renaissance" period (when Bulgarians finally drove the Ottoman Turks from their homeland with the help of Russia and an Eastern Orthodox coalition which included Romania, Serbia and Montenegro).
Conveniently for visitors, many of Bulgaria's most magnificent churches are concentrated in the capital, Sofia, or within a few hours' drive from the city. For monastery-hunters, isolated spiritual sites can be found everywhere from the rolling plains of the northeast to the Rhodopi Mountains of the south, and all the way to the Black Sea coast.
Sofia boasts some of the country's most architecturally superb and historically significant churches. The capital may be dominated by grand old buildings and big boulevards, but the churches are unmissable.
The Church of Sveti (Saint) Nikolai, with its glittering gold domes was built in 1914 for Sofia's then-Russian community. It contains Byzantine-era frescoes dating from the 11th to 14th centuries. In the church's crypt, the faithful leave prayers in the form of hand-written letters at the grave of Archbishop Seraphim.
Bulgaria's historic affinity with Russia is evoked again at the Alexander Nevski Cathedral, occupying an entire square and fronted by gold-plated domes. Designed by a Russian architect in the Byzantine revival style, Nevski Cathedral was completed over a 30-year period, after the Russo-Turkish War of 1877-78, in which thousands of Russian soldiers lost their lives while fighting to liberate Bulgaria from the Turks. The crypt here (located through a door at the left inside the main entrance) is notable for its large collection of historic icons. Dating from the 5th to the 19th centuries, these icons were gathered from churches all over Bulgaria and represent one of the world's most important church collections of Orthodox icons.
Just nearby Nevski Square stands the capital's oldest church, the restored, red-brick Sveta Sofia; named for the Greek word for "wisdom", the church became the namesake of a city known previously to the Romans as Serdica. The connection between the Bulgarian nation, Christianity and martial sacrifice is again marked here, with the symbolic Tomb of the Unknown Soldier standing just outside. Another small, and working, church from the late Roman period worth seeing is Sveti Georgi Rotunda, originally built in the fourth century, containing murals from the tenth to fourteenth centuries.
The ravages of occupation and revolution have left an indelible mark on Sofia's churches. After the Ottoman conquest of the city in 1382, many Bulgarian churches were destroyed, and new ones were strictly regulated so as not to overshadow mosques (as is clearly seen by the sunken foundations of tiny Sveta Petka Samardzhiiska, a rare example of a Sofia church built in the early Ottoman period). And the nearby Sveta Nedelya Cathedral – a major city landmark, known for its Byzantine-style frescoes – was almost destroyed in a 1925 bombing by communist assassins. Although over 120 parishioners died in the bombing (including much of the government cabinet), the intended target, Tsar Boris III survived.
Other Bulgarian churches have enjoyed a more placid existence. Just 8km south of Sofia, towards the refreshing Mt Vitosha, the graceful 13th-century Boyana Church occupies a quiet spot in a leafy courtyard. The church, which was never damaged by the Turks, is a Unesco-listed heritage site and contains wall-to-wall mosaics that are among Bulgaria's finest. The church's 90 paintings include portraits of medieval royals and the oldest-known depiction of St Ivan Rilski, Bulgaria's venerated patron saint.
A remarkable detail about the church is that its upkeep has been performed communally for hundreds of years. Today, Snejana Parvanova has inherited this duty; according to her, local records show that at least eight generations of her extended family have been entrusted with looking after the church. And she clearly loves her job of explaining every artistic flourish and historic event to visitors. "For me It is a great responsibility to show the church to visitors from Bulgaria and other parts of the world," she says.
To see some of Bulgaria's most spectacular monasteries, it is necessary to venture further out of the capital. Only about an hour's drive southeast of Sofia, Rila Monastery is Bulgaria's most awe-inspiring. Set in a thickly-forested mountain vale above a bubbling brook, the grand, red-and-white monastic compound is flanked by colourful balconies, a refectory and arched gates, with the three-domed Church of Rozhdestvo Bogorodichno (Church of the Nativity) occupying much of its inner courtyard. Frescoed outside and in, the church's paintings were partly the work of Zahari Zograf, Bulgaria's most renowned iconographer. The hand-carved, 19th-century wooden iconostasis at the altar is equally impressive. Outside, a tall stone fortress tower from the 14th century stands guard.
Rila is very much a working monastery, and Orthodox pilgrims come to seek spiritual advice and listen with bowed heads as monks briskly recite blessings and prayers for individual parishioners. Even if you can't communicate in Bulgarian, spending some time to reflect in the massive church, amidst incense, candles and chanting is a spiritual experience in itself.
Founded in 927 by the hermit-monk, Ivan Rilski in the nearby forest, Rila was moved to its current location in 1335, becoming a feudal stronghold and protector of Orthodox relics and holy literature during the long Ottoman occupation. The Russian connection was historically strong here too; after a devastating fire in the 15th century, a special agreement between the Russian Monastery of St Panteleimon (located on Mt Athos in nearby Greece) provided funding for Rila to be renewed.
In the 19th century, the monastery again suffered from a devastating fire but was rebuilt with local and foreign donations. By then, it had also become a key centre for transmitting Byzantine spiritual doctrine, training clergy and in general preserving Bulgarian national culture and tradition during foreign occupation.
While at Rila, those interested in learning more about monastic (and local) history can enjoy two on-site museums: an ethnographic museum (containing regional folk costumes, arts and crafts) and an ecclesiastical one that contains historic bibles, manuscripts and religious art - the most astonishing being the late 18th-century Rila Cross. A true labour of love, this double-sided wooden crucifix was engraved by a single monk over a 12-year period, and is engraved with 140 miniature biblical scenes and inscriptions, which include some 650 minutely carved human figures.
Entrance is free at most Sofia churches. And 17 September is the day of St Sophia, and special services are held in churches across the city. Visiting Boyana Church costs 10 leva (4.40 pounds), but the ticket also allows a visit at the National History Museum, located two kilometres away.
Visiting Rila Monastery from Sofia can be done directly through public bus or through travel agencies' organized day trips; to make the most of the visit, however, it's worth staying over at the monastery's rooms or in nearby Rila village, which has services and several small hotels.
Just below the monastery and above the water, a popular restaurant serves specialities like fresh river trout; the monastery is also known for its mekitsi (a kind of fried dough topped with confectioner's sugar, and often accompanied with sheep's milk yoghurt), available from a tiny bakery window just above the restaurant.
Bulgaria also has many far-flung religious sites large and small. Some fascinating but less-visited places include the sparse northwest, full of empty rolling hills where occasional signs can lead you down dirt tracks to churches new and old alike. For those planning to visit other parts of Bulgaria, important monasteries include the 11th-century Bachkovo Monastery near Plovdiv in the east, and Dryanovo Monastery, set peacefully in a river gorge 24km from the scenic town of Veliko Tarnovo in central Bulgaria.
Also located in the country's forested interior, Troyan Monastery is Bulgaria's third-largest (after Rila and Bachkovo), and known for its vivid frescoes and tranquil setting. From 1872, resistance leader Vasil Levski used it as a secret planning base and the monastery became a field hospital for Russian soldiers in the 1877 war with the Turks.

Rockstar Pushes Mainstream Video Game Narrative Envelope, Again
Noah J Nelson on Friday, Sep. 13th
Rockstar, the maker of the "Grand Theft Auto" series, is known for taking big risks with their video games. The latest installment of the GTA series–"GTA V", due next Tuesday–is no exception.
The storytelling leap the developer is taking, focusing on not one but three different protagonists, may be their biggest risk yet. In an interview with Polygon, studio head Dan Houser explained how the technique opened up a richer storytelling palette.
"This isn't anything to do with the story or the narrative, but does tell the wider story of these people because they're all living their own lives," Houser said. "Any moment you could go and see what they're up to and it relates to what point you're up to in the real story. You just get a real feeling for them as existing outside of you controlling them, so that just kind of added this great ambient storytelling quality and fun to it."
While serialized stories like that found in "Game of Thrones" explore multiplicity of perspectives, it is a technique that has rarely been seen before in interactive fiction. Narratives entwined with games rely upon the game-player's own sense of agency to inform the protagonist, after all. To potentially set a player against their own perceived self-interest and still have that be a satisfying experience is quite the challenge.
Yet it is practically the next logical step for interactive narrative of any form. One that has the potential to push the limit on how far an audience-participant is willing to stretch their sense of empathy.

Life with four kids is hectic and crazy, especially now that the kids are getting older and are involved in so many extra curricular activities. The kids have been on us for awhile now to get a new family pet so over the course of the past several months my husband and I were secretly looking for a puppy. Right when we found what we thought was the perfect fit for our family, tragedy struck and our neighbor unexpectedly passed away. She left behind two cats that she loved very much. Our 4 year old just loved our neighbor, Jane, so it just felt like the right thing to do to adopt her cats. Now would probably be a great time to mention that we have never had cats and we had no idea what caring for a cat would entail. What we quickly found out was that cats were probably a much better fit for our family. We keep their food and water dishes filled, make sure the kids don't leave the doors open and clean their litter boxes every couple days and that's it! It has been absolutely great. We even left for a few days over the holiday weekend and didn't even have to worry about what we were going to do with them. We just filled their dishes and left with peace of mind that they had everything the needed to be without us for a couple of days.
I always had my own ideas of what a litter box would be like and I have to admit, I have been pleasantly surprised at how easy the litter boxes are to keep clean. Even so, some days I will walk into my house and I can get a slight whiff of a foul odor coming from the direction of the kitties bathroom. Ironically, just a couple of days after the cats came to live with us, I was asked to review Shhh! Litter Box Formula from Ah! Products Inc.
Shhh! Litter Box Formula was designed to get rid of offensive litter box odors and surprisingly, it really does the trick and it is super easy to use too. All you have to do is clean the litter box out as you normally would, smooth the litter out and then spray directly onto the litter and again into the air above the litter box. The spray is biodegradable, odorless, non toxic and hypoallergenic so it's totally safe for your family and your feline friends. After a single spray, you really can't smell any odors coming from the litter box. I have made this a part of our daily routine now and it is so nice not having to worry about smelling the litter box anymore, especially when we have company over! I am so glad we tried this product out because it will definitely be a staple around our house now!
One lucky winner is going to receive their own case of 4 bottles of Shhh! Litter Box Formula!

H&K G36 C Assault Rifle Replica - Black
The replica is mostly made from a light and durable polymer. Steel elements include vulnerable parts - small elements such as pins and screws. The internal barrel was made from metal. The outer barrel, however, was made from polymer and features a thread with a flash hider on it. The flash hider can be removed and replaced with a silencer dummy. It changes the BB trajectory, thus increasing accuracy at the cost of a small drop (in an already short) in range. Thanks to a license granted by German firearms company Heckler & Koch GmbH, we can feast our eyes with original markings and naming.
The assault rifle is equipped with a long, 22mm RIS rail on the top handle, which enables the attachment of a wide array of optical devices as well as included red dot sight. The handguard contains 3 RIS 22mm mounting rails. The battery is stored inside the handguard - it can be quickly removed with a single press of a button.
Inside the replica is a solid mechanism made from polymer that is powered by an electric motor. The replica is more of a toy with vast array of features than a tool for any kind of games due to significantly low muzzle velocity.
The low-cap magazine is made from polymer. Its capacity is 48 BBs. The magazine has latches that enables joining together of several magazines. The set includes a tool that speeds up the process of loading a magazine with BBs.
Inside the box, along with the replica, is a very extensive and interesting kit that enables to fully utilize the mounting rails and personalize the replica with regard to personal preferences. One of the most interesting accessories is the reflex sight with lit up aimpoint - powered by a single CR2025 battery. The cross is of red colour and reflex sight knobs allow for full cross calibration right/left/up/down.
The set includes a vast array of accessories. Vertical tactical forward grip makes the usage of the replica more pleasant and makes it more "tactical".
The set includes:
- magazine
- battery
- charger
- red dot sight (optical sight)
- CR2025 battery for the red dot sight
- tactical sling
- vertical tactical grip
- cleaning rod
- flash hider
- screwdriver

|Velocity [FPS]:
It is the spped of bb, while its leaving the innerbarrel of replica. This speed is measured in FPS (Feet Per Second).
1 FPS = 0,3 m/s
1 J = 99 m/s
|Propulsion / Powered by:
|Gearbox version:
Indications v2, v3, v6 does not mean the level of advance, but only shape of gearbox skeleton which was used and selected by the manufacturer depending on the capabilities of the body of the replica. For example, a models of the M4/M16 family, MP5, have a v2 gearbox, while the AK family have gearbox v3.
Special Gearbox
|Type of fire:
Single, auto
|Lenght [mm]:
The length of the replca is measured between the two most distant points of each other. Different models have several of these values, because of its design allows to increase or decrease it length (eg. folding stock or extended flash hider).
510 / 730
|Weight [g]:
This is a value that includes the weight of the replica, magazine and other accessories that are include in set without a battery, charger, cleaning rod, etc., etc.
|Battery Capacity [mAh]:
Battery capacity determines the time, which it accumulated enough energy to work gearbox. The greater capacity, then replica will shoot longer.
|Magazine type:
Low-Cap magazine
|Magazine capacity [pcs]:
Hop-Up system is used for overclocking bb during the shot (putting it in rotation), through which, it extends its flight path. Acting laws of physics make that bb lift up, while the gravitational force take it down. Appropriate adjustment of Hop-Up, will compensate for these two factors, which result in long and straight flight for longer distance and be greater focus shot (to improve accuracy).
Yes, adjustable
|Blow Back:
Blow back is a simulation system of the cocking lever - it imitates the work of it as the equivalent sharp. This system raises the realism and adds a lot more experience during shooting.
|Made of:
Metal + plastic
|Battery included:
rechargeable battery is characterized by high efficiency
current-carrying capacity, but there are disruptive effect on memory.
Should be unloaded and loaded in the full cycle, ie, it is recommended
to fully discharge, and after unloading must charge the battery
immediately without leaving it for a long time in a discharged state.

to tint or not to tint...
to tint or not to tint...
Tint...Looks way better.
The only reason to not tint is if you want everyone to see your face while you are driving around in your P85 and blowing past them off the line.
tint….. always better
Tint - the heat rejection is very noticeable and the extra privacy is nice.
tint. you can go with a fade from front to back (lighter in front, heaver in 2nd row, heaviest in 3rd row). It looks less aggressive and still retains classy feel/look IMO.
Conversely, could use 3M crystalline 50-70 whole way around. get benefits of tint, without the blacked out look.
Tint -- if you live anywhere that gets sunny you will appreciate it - the MS has a lot of glass. If you do't want the darker color, look at something like Air Blue 80 which gives you the IR rejection.
Tint! I got mine 70%, 35%, 15% (front to back).
Yes Tint, it would look awesome. Please post a photo once done.
Tint. Go here for long discussion thread. Read all fine print from manufacturers ! I would go with Photosync if I were you.
The next day I received my S60, I had the XPEL and tint on. I never had any of my cars tinted before but I tell you it's worth it. I live in the south and for the past summer, I feel cooler when I entered my S, the feeling I never had before. I have 80 in front and back windshields along with 40 on side windows. Great investment.
I was going to tint my windows until my window regulator failed twice on rear passenger side window. Then my front passenger side window went out. I asked the Van Nuys service center if I had my windows tinted and it messed up my tint, would they repair it. They said no.
I agree with other posters, absolutely tint. I had my pearl white MS tinted a month ago and it makes the car look way better, not to mention the UV protection.
35 front? Illegal in most jurisdictions. Too dark at night.

Assigned to Samuel Bell Maxey's Ninth Texas Infantry, Young and his command fought at the battle of Shiloh, on April 6 and 7, 1862, after which he was promoted to the command of the regiment. Young led the Ninth Texas in the battles of Perryville, Kentucky (October 8, 1862); Murfreesboro, Tennessee (December 31, 1862-January 3, 1863), where he was wounded in the shoulder and had two horses shot from under him; and in the Vicksburg campaign (spring and summer 1863), in which he sustained a second wound, this to the thigh, at the battle of Jackson, Mississippi, on May 14, 1863. There, according to the official report, Young "seized the colors of his regiment in one of its most gallant charges and led it through." More modestly, Young reported of the same engagement, he "ordered the regiment to move forward with a shout, both of which they did, a la Texas."
At Chickamauga (September 19 and 20, 1863) he was wounded a third time, in the chest. Transferred with his regiment to Gen. Matthew D. Ector's brigade, he participated in the Atlanta campaign (spring and summer 1864) and despite suffering wounds to the neck and jaw at the battle of Kennesaw Mountain on June 27 was promoted to brigadier general to rank from August 15, 1864, when Ector was disabled at the battle of Peachtree Creek. Young's brigade consisted of his own Ninth Texas Infantry plus the Twenty-third Texas Cavalry (dismounted) and the Twenty-ninth and Thirty-ninth North Carolina Infantry regiments. During John Bell Hood's disastrous Tennessee campaign (October-December 1864), during which Young's regiment was attached to the brigade of Gen. Samuel G. French, Young lost his left foot to enemy fire, had his horse shot from beneath him, and was captured at Altoona, Georgia, on October 5. "Most gallantly," reported French, "he bore his part in the action."
Held prisoner at Johnson's Island, Ohio, Young was not released until July 24, 1865. Following the war Young moved to San Antonio, where he was a successful attorney and real estate investor. Later he and his father organized a transportation company that hauled freight between San Antonio and Monterrey, Mexico. Young also organized the Nueces River Irrigation Company and acquired considerable ranch and farm property. For a time he was owner of the San Antonio Express. General Young died in San Antonio on November 28, 1901, and is buried in the Confederate Cemetery there.

The SOLOS are an AAC institution. Each year, we announce a call for entries to all contemporary fine artists living or working in the Mid-Atlantic region—which includes
These submissions are reviewed by our exhibitions committee, which typically consists of seven arts professionals. Five of these come from the AAC board: We are fortunate to have a number of practicing artists, curators, and collectors as active board members.
Two guest jurors lead the panel. For SPRING SOLOS 2009, those guests were Anne Ellegood, departing Contemporary Curator for the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden (and soon-to-be Senior Curator for the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles), and Philip Barlow, omnipresent D.C. art collector par excellence.
Out of the hundreds of submissions received this past year, the panel chose 11 artists to feature in two separate shows. Five of these artists are on view here on the building's main floor. Each artist was given one of our separate, self-contained gallery spaces in which to present his own individual SOLO exhibition.
Another D.C.-based artist, Gregory McLellan, is a painter whose labor-intensive spray painted, sanded, and layered pieces resemble everything from graffiti, to heroic abstraction, to the electrified cartoon innards that his titles suggest. Tingleguts is a sumptuous series of distressed and excavated surfaces; an essay by writer J. Stevie Jones (mysteriously type-set on Dymo labels) accompanies the exhibit.
Baltimore's Christopher Lavoie offers an installation with ominous imagery and flashes of dark humor, featuring a concrete headstone made to appear like a crucifix that has sprouted outstretched human hands; "brass" knuckles that are actually cast in eggshells; and various destroyed (and/or recast) consumable items from the artist's own past. LaVoie's relationship to these objects is ambiguous; their obliteration and resurrection seems to be an anaologue for a disintegrating or reformulated sense of self.
And two West-Virginia artists present meticulous work about consumption: Jason Lee builds bright orange, mass-produced-looking lightboxes, mounted either on the floor or on the wall, offering glimpses of the sky, and of a creek or stream. These Euthenics studies pose questions about planned communities, public spaces, sprawl, and the triumph of universal technology.
Joe Lupo creates graphite drawings, etchings, and silkscreens of his sales receipts. These small pieces (always the image is exactly the same size as the receipt it depicts) rely on traditional craftsmanship and techniques, but seem to follow a sort of serial, conceptual art logic, in which unremarkable detritus is elevated to an absurd degree.
Ultimately, SPRING SOLOS 2009 highlights challenging work of exceedingly high quality that's being made right here in our own backyard. These five artists exemplify contemporary art's capacity to cull extraordinary images and experiences from all things regional, personal, or even boringly usual—and, simultaneously, to participate in a much larger national conversation about culture, consumption, and identity.

Take a fresh look at the Duke: Wellington's house opens to public for 200th anniversary
THIS is the Duke of Wellington as you have never seen him before - in a psychedelic portrait that is constantly changing colour.
This pop-art painting is one of hundreds of items going on display from Saturday
The pop-art painting - which looks more like Andy Warhol than Regency art - is one of hundreds of items gong on display from Saturday at the Iron Duke's London home at Hyde Park Corner, Apsley House.
Also known as Number 1 London, it has been restored by English Heritage in time for this June's 200th anniversary of Wellington's most famous victory, the battle of Waterloo.
Apsley House will showcase his Georgian home as it was when he lived there in the 1830s, entertaining royalty and dignitaries from around Europe.
He was the most famous man in Europe, the man who had beaten Napoleon and the heads of Europe showered him with gifts
And in the middle of Hyde Park Corner the Wellington Arch will house a display about Waterloo and its aftermath, complete with his battle orders, the sword he carried during the battle and an original pair of his Wellington boots.
The leather boots he had hand made for campaigning were widely imitated and, made from new materials, are still used today.
The battle exhibition closes with photographs taken in the 1840s of surviving veterans, many of them proudly wearing their uniforms for the camera.
But English Heritage is also bringing Britain's most famous general into the 21st century with a constantly changing piece of artwork commissioned by the current 9th Duke of Wellington.
Artist Michael Craig Martin has adapted a famous portrait of the Duke painted in 1817 by Thomas Lawrence and used computer wizardry to turn it into a kaleidoscopic artwork.
The 20 segments each have a different colour - and with 16.4million combinations viewers are unlikely ever to see the same one twice.
The screen can make the Iron Duke glow some very strange shades which may have been a bit radical for him: as Prime minister many viewed him as a reactionary.
Wellington Arch and Apsley House re-open for the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo
But the real focus will be Wellington's stately home at the heart of London in one of the capital's most desirable addresses.
English Heritage's Keeper of the Wellington Collection, Josephine Oxley said: "Apsley House was a show of fame.
"He had celebrity status after Waterloo. He was the most famous man in Europe, the man who had beaten Napoleon and the heads of Europe showered him with gifts.
"We've brought together a fascinating collection of surviving objects from the 19th century's most important battle, the 'Great War' of its age. Wellington Arch, the monument to the Duke and his famous victory, is the perfect venue in which to tell the story of Waterloo and explore its significance and its legacy.
Curators Apply The Finishing Touches To The Waterloo 200th Anniversary Exhibition
"At Apsley House, we look at the man behind the battle, what drove him and how Waterloo transformed him, both in public and in private.
"And 200 years after Waterloo, we can now reveal the scale of the banquets Wellington held every year to mark the early anniversaries of the battle."
Wellington bought Apsley House from his brother in 1817 but then spent several years having it revamped.
Among its treasures are four Velazquez painting which the Duke saved from Joseph Bonaparte's baggage train as he tried to flee back to France with his booty in 1813.
Soldiers and civilians looted the gold but Wellington rescued the artwork stolen by Bonaparte form Spain's Royal Collection.
The battle exhibition closes with photographs taken in the 1840s of surviving veterans
Wellington later offered them back to the Spanish royal family but they gave them to him as thanks for saving their nation.
Also opening to the public is the refurbished Waterloo Gallery which is similar to the Hall of Mirrors at Versailles.
Every June 18 this was the venue for the Waterloo Banquet for higher ranking survivors of the battle.
And every year large crowds gathered outside for a glimpse of the guests.
English Heritage senior Historian Paul Pattison said: "These exhibitions are not a celebration but an assessment of the battle which was very close-run.
"It ended more than 20 years of warfare. It was the last time we went to war with France apart from the Vichy French in the Second World War and it was the prelude to 40 years of peace in Europe which had not been seen for centuries."
The current Duke of Wellington, who has an apartment at Apsley House, said: "In the year of the bicentenary of the Battle of Waterloo I am so pleased that both Apsley house and the Wellington Arch will be hosting special exhibitions.
"We will be honouring and commemorating one of the most important battles in European history; the principal legacy of the battle was the long period of peace in Western Europe."

What: Every family has at least one member for whom Christmas is a time to get giddy with excitement, half-drunk on eggnog, and canvass the whole neighborhood in a horrible sweater belting out carols and holiday cheer until it's time for more eggnog. This is exactly the type of person who should and will participate in Armstrong Atlantic's Community Christmas Sing, an event melding the musical talents of the vibrant young minds and well-honed voices of Armstrong Atlantic's choral program with the sturdy timbre of local citizens. Together, chorale and community members alike shall ring in the Christmas season with a celebration of traditional Christmas carols and secular music. In the third year of this annual event, participation is growing, and the Community Christmas Sing has certainly become a favorite for closet performers who step out during the holidays.
When: 7:30 p.m. Sunday
Where: Armstrong Atlantic State University, Fine Arts Auditorium, 11935 Abercorn St.
Buzz:What makes this event truly special is the participation of folks from the community who have the chutzpah to face a crowd and lose themselves in the spirit of performance. Participants come from all walks of life, and must prepare on their own for the performance. All in all, the spontaneity of mixing the chorale and citizenry makes for an energetic, fun engagement.
More info: Call 927-5381, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. weekdays, for tickets; and 927- 5325 to participate. The second of two rehearsals is 7 p.m. today at the Fine Arts Auditorium.

I'm in love with vintage! I've always thought I'm an old soul in terms of the kind of music I really like, but it turns out, that reflects in my taste in apparel too! While searching for even cheaper wedding dresses on Etsy, I found these pretty pretty vintage dresses! Apparently the oldies does mint (and complimentary colours) really well!
These dresses are hijab-friendly (or can be layered / modified to be so) and I love all the detailings like the embroidery, ruffles, pleats and balloon sleeves! All you sellers move to Singapore, can? So I don't have to pay shipping fees. Hehehe.
I'm a bit closer to my colour palette! 🙂

In a pioneering study of 15 cities in Karnataka, Public Affairs Centre has drawn attention to the unbalanced pattern of urban development in Karnataka and the need for a review of the state's policies. The study has pulled together a variety of indicators on urban growth, infrastructure, services, and quality of life that permits a more comprehensive comparison of these cities than has been possible until now. According to its authors Samuel Paul, Kala S Sridhar, A. Venugopala Reddy, and Pavan Srinath, the study also provides a basis for benchmarking the progress of the cities over time and assessing the impact of government policies and programmes. PAC plans to extend this analysis to major cities all over India and monitor this periodically.

If it seems like you've tried every shampoo and conditioner in the book and you still don't have silky smooth hair, you might need to revamp your routine.
How many times have you felt like your brown eyeliner doesn't quite bring out the best in your hair color?
If your makeup, outfit and shoes are all picked out for this season's holiday parties but you're still looking for the perfect hairstyle, you're in luck!
Olivia Wilde's outfits and makeup looks are the definition of chic – it's hard to pinpoint a time when this gal didn't look downright fabulous.
Jennifer Garner doesn't normally partake in the latest trends, but that wasn't the case recently when she exited a New York City hotel with sleek, smooth strands that were so shiny, she might've been able to see her reflection in them (okay, maybe not THAT shiny).
In case you haven't noticed, there are two major hair trends that have been getting attention all summer long.
Hair accessories are a hot commodity these days, and now that summer's humidity is gone, you'll probably be looking for ways to flaunt your smoother 'do.
Having straight hair is great as far as maintenance is concerned – you probably don't have to worry much about combating frizz or sleekifying your strands.
Summer's not yet over, but fall is quickly approaching, which may be dampening your spirits lately.
With social media sites like Pinterest and Tumblr providing hairstyle inspiration for women everywhere, there are more possibilities for unique styles than ever before.
Can tweezing unwanted hairs along your upper lip, brows and across your face cause hair to grow back thicker and darker?
If the thought of suddenly growing inches upon inches of thick, luxurious hair sounds like a dream come true, you're in luck.

ELSA Test - Current Students
The purpose of the English Language Skills Assessment (ELSA) Test is to find out if students have the English language skills needed for successful university study. The test must be taken by all students registering for degree-level courses, irrespective of whether they are doing a certificate, diploma or bachelor's degree program
The ELSA Test assesses your vocabulary and grammar, your reading and writing, and until you have sat and passed the test you will not be allowed to register for 200- or 300-level courses.
The Test is held at all USP campuses about four times each year, on dates publicised in the local media. You should take the test as soon as possible so you can get your results before the semester begins. If you already have access to Student Online Services, you can check your ELSA results there about two weeks after you sat the test. Otherwise, check the campus notice-boards. Results are reported on a five-band scale, and an overall total of 3, 4 or 5 is a pass in the test. The meaning of the bands is as follows:
Student Profile
Implications for USP study
Complete proficiency in all academic skills tested
High level of English skills should be a great advantage in degree studies.
Good proficiency in most academic skills tested
Good English skills should be an advantage in degree studies.
Adequate proficiency in most academic skills tested
English skills are adequate to commence degree studies, and students will benefit from any explicit teaching in academic English (eg. LL114).
Limited proficiency in some academic skills tested
Modest skills may affect success in degree studies; concurrent semester course in English language skills required (EL001).
Limited proficiency in all academic skills tested
Limited skills will probably lead to difficulties in meeting course requirements. Extensive concurrent individual support is required.
If you score an overall total of 1 or 2 in the ELSA Test you must register for the course EL001, English Language Skills. You may not take EL001 in addition to a full course load. Therefore, in the semester in which you are registered for EL001 you should take one course fewer than normal.
Frequently Asked Questions about ELSA
Important message
All EL001 students who are able to attend classes on Laucala Campus must register for Face to face (On-Campus) mode. There are classes after business hours for working students.
Those who can not study on campus should register for Print (DFL) mode, with compulsory tutorials.
All EL001 students must come to CELT, 1st floor, building 091, to sign up for tutorial classes. Telephone 323 2062 for further advice.

Turkish TV: NATO to command Libya operation
Thursday, March 24, 2011; 3:09 PM
ANKARA, Turkey -- NATO appeared on Thursday to move closer to assuming command of the military operation in Libya when Turkey's foreign minister was quoted as saying an agreement has been reached.
The alliance needs the approval of all 28 of its members in order to coordinate the operation, and Turkey had set conditions on that role for NATO.
"The coalition that was formed following the Paris meeting will abandon the mission and hand it over entirely to a single command system under NATO," Turkey's Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu was quoted as saying by Turkey's state-run Anatolia news agency.
"All of Turkey's concerns, demands on the issue have been met," he said, and NATO has promised to complete the work needed to take over the Libya mission "within one or two days."
Earlier in the day, Turkey's parliament authorized the government to participate in military operations in Libya, including the no-fly zone. Turkey is NATO's only Muslim member.
Turkey's government had insisted that any NATO mission, including the no-fly zone, must be restricted to protecting civilians, enforcing the arms embargo and providing humanitarian aid.
Davutoglu had said Wednesday that his country would not agree to a "framework that goes beyond this." But Turkey also said it would contribute four frigates and one submarine to the NATO naval force that patrolling off Libya's coast to enforce a U.N. arms embargo. Two frigates had reached the Libyan coast while two others were on their way.
In Brussels, NATO officials said the Military Committee - the alliance's highest military body - met Thursday morning in Brussels to review plans to enforce the no-fly zone in Libya. The decision-making North Atlantic Council, consisting of envoys from all 28 member nations, was meeting later Thursday to review them.
It has been meeting for six straight days, but a series of disagreements, including whether NATO should have overall political control over the operation and how aggressive rules of engagement should be, have so far blocked an agreement.
Separately, the 27 European Union heads of government began a two-day summit meeting, also in Brussels. Economic matters appear to be dominating the agenda, but Libya may also be discussed.
Thursday's vote in Turkey's Parliament authorizes the government and military to participate in operations in Libya up to one year, without specifying what kind.
NATO's top military commander, U.S. Adm. James Stavridis, met Turkish military leaders in Ankara on Thursday to discuss Turkey's concerns.

An analyst at Deutsche Bank said that A123 Systems Inc. may not be able to raise fresh cash and could lose contracts related to a recent recall of defective packs sent to customers. Dan Galves, a New York-based analyst at Deutsche Bank, wrote in a research note that $55 million that the company estimates will cost to replace the flawed battery packs and modules "represents a severe impact" on cash reserves. Galves wrote in its research note that they no longer have enough confidence that AONE, A123 Systems' trading symbol, could bring in sufficient capital without massive equity dilution, and/or continue to bring in new transactions.
Galves cut his rating to hold from buy today. Galves noted that recent quality issues could raise concern on the company's capacity to produce at high volumes, adding that this could lead to either customer defections or difficulty in getting new deals. A123 announced this week that it commenced manufacturing replacement modules for customers like Fisker Automotive Inc., and will deliver them this week. A123 said that the defective batteries came from its Livonia plant in Mich.
The Waltham, Mass.-based company said that the faulty calibration of one of the four welding machines at Livonia plant resulted to the misalignment of a component in some cells, which could cause electrical short and lead to either premature failure of the battery or decreased performance and battery life.
David Vieau, A123's chief executive, said in a statement that their customers have been very supportive and still recognize the company has an enabling and high-quality technology. Vieau expressed confidence that the company could acquire necessary funding, as it has demonstrated in the past.

Discussion in 'Android Devices' started by kwilkins, Nov 29, 2010.
I have around 300 contacts and it takes about 5 seconds, so it seems like that is your problem.
That's a bummer. It kind of ruins the productivity advantage if you have to wait to use it.
I agree =/ have you tried the car dock mode? It's really fast and seems like it does the same thing.
I used this: [Guide] MT4G Remapping Genius button to Google Search - xda-developers and now my genius button uses Vlingo, which is awesome!
It takes a full minute for my myTouch 4G to deliver the "Please wait" statement, and then it quickly beeps for voice input. That makes is almost completely useless. Is there a trick to make it just function for voice dialing so it responds quickly? On my old windows 6.5 phone it took about 2 seconds to respond. I never thought I would be moving backwards with a myTouch 4G.
Mine takes 10 seconds, with 200 contacts.

Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst is still reeling from Britney Spears denying their alleged brief romance in 2003 - insisting he is "in no way a liar".
Six years ago the rocker told fans via his website that he was enjoying a fling with the pop superstar after he had been roped in to help write tracks for her album.
However, despite Durst's revelations, the Toxic star subsequently told now defunct MTV show Total Request Live that she wasn't dating the star, nor was she particularly close to him.
And Durst is still slightly bruised by the knock-back - insisting the whole affair was a "fiasco of madness".
He tells MTV.com, "I always stay true to my heart and true to everything I did and my intentions, and I am in no way a liar."
"It just became a fiasco of madness. I look back on it as very interesting how things have been sort of unravelling for her since. It is what it is. I can sleep at night knowing I made decisions that I wanted to make.
"I just guess at the time it was taboo for a guy like me to be associated with a gal like her."

I know that there are only 1925 hubs attracting >1000 visitors per month but would like to know how many get > 5000, 15000 and 35000, respectively.
I wonder how do you *know* this? Do you work for HP?
Does HP provide such details for us? May be Ryan?
Misha, I published a hub few months ago about hubs, hubbers and hubpages. I provided this statistics in this hub. Statistics was provided by paul in the forum.
where did you get your figures from?
I think I have 3 that get 1,000+ a month right now (with no promotion I think someone bookmarked them)
Either you're pulling that number out of thin air, or I've created almost 1% of the top trafficked hubs on the site.
I'm going to stick with you pulling that figure out of thin air.
we'll none of mine any way
35000 uniques per month to a single hub? Not me LOL
I get about 50K uniques per month total and I have a bunch of hubs that get between 1K and 5K and sometimes there's a traffic blip on one or two that might get me up to nearly 10K per month on a specific hub --- usually seasonal stuff like my Pumpkin Cheesecake Recipe hub.
Currently I have only 3 hubs with traffic over 1k/month. Well, one of them makes over 4k/month. But 35k... that would be cool, sure
I have one hub that gets around 10000 hits a month but I think that there are some hubbers with hubs that get over 50000.....jimmy
I would love to see the data that this thread is discussing. It would be interesting to see how your own hubs measure up.
I couldn't figure out where, but I probably posted that 1925 statistic some time ago. The current numbers are as follows:
Hubs with 1,000+ hub views in the last month: 2,751
Hubs with 100+ hub views in the last month: 18,238
Hubs with 10+ hub views in the last month: 80,186
We look at these numbers from time to time to see how traffic is distributed across the 200,000+ published hubs. As you can see about 10% are getting a reasonable amount of traffic, and more than half are at least getting some traffic (although 10 views a month isn't much).
I have 4 over 1,000 in the last 30 days and 2 really close but that's I think down from the past. I haven't hubbed at the same pace this last coupla months. I used ta have a dozen or so a month over 1,000 I think. My hubworld runs on autopilot as every catches up to all the old stuff I wrote. I wonder if others have scaled back? I guess my output was beyond the norm to begin with....
Once the rest of the universe discovers my genius, my hubs will finally get the traffic they deserve. Until then, mine all lurk in the gutters of obscurity. Frankly, I think HubPages would do well to promote and SEO my hubs as a commerical venture so that they (HP) can, in the eyes of history, have a piece of my legacy. Etc.
Hmm. I looked at my hits in 30 days stat, I have 5 hubs that have over 1000 hits in the last 30 days, of which 2 are over 2500, but that's it.
I have 1 Hub with over 25,000 hits under the "ever" stat. That Hub has been up almost 2 years I think. That would be wild to hit 35,000 in only a month.
Thanks for the stat facts, Paul.
One of my hub is getting more than 35K visitors/month. This hub discusses the issues related to problems of teaching community in India.
