Report: NH native Chip Kelly will stay at OregonStaff report
January 06. 2013 11:29PM
New Hampshire's Chip Kelly will return to coach the University of Oregon, spurning NFL offers, ESPN reported on Sunday night.
Kelly, a former Manchester Central player and coach, and former University of New Hampshire assistant coach, was "intrigued" with the vacant Philadelphia Eagles job, but decided against it, according to the report.
The Cleveland Browns also interviewed Kelly, according to reports. The Browns are still looking for a coach.
Earlier Sunday, in a conversation before Kelly's decision, Joe Yukica said he believes Kelly has the ability to coach in the NFL.
"He's well-grounded in football principles," said Yukica, who served as a head college football coach at the University of New Hampshire, Boston College and Dartmouth College.
Yukica had nine winning seasons in his 10-year tenure with the Eagles (1968-77) and led the Big Green to the Ivy League championship in 1978. Dartmouth also was co-champion of the Ivy League in 1981 (with Yale) and 1982 (with Harvard and Pennsylvania) under Yukica, who stepped down in 1986 after nine coaching seasons in Hanover.
Yukica (21 total seasons, 111-93-4 career record) never entertained offers to coach in the National Football League, but certainly knows what it takes to make the jump from the college ranks into the NFL.
"You certainly have to have the traits of being a leader," said Yukica. "If you're an owner in the NFL looking to hire a college coach, you're looking at someone who is a strong-willed person. It's someone who runs a solid program, knows what to expect from his assistant coaches and demands a consistent effort from his players."
"First and foremost, I'm happy for and rooting for Chip Kelly," said Yukica. "As everyone knows the story by now, when he was an assistant coach at UNH, Chip attended a football clinic to explain his offensive schemes. (Oregon) coach (Mike) Bellotti was there, liked his ideas and hired him to be his offensive coordinator. Shortly after, Chip becomes the head coach and makes Oregon one of the top college football teams in the country. There's no reason I know of why he can't coach on the NFL level."
Yukica said Kelly will make the right decision for himself.
"He knows what needs to be done, has already shown it on the college level," said Yukica. "If he's deciding on coaching in the NFL, he needs to start by going to a team with a solid ownership. He also needs to see what he has for personnel. You know, who's the quarterback, who are the wide receivers and running backs. If you don't have those tools starting out, you're in trouble. You have to examine all those things before you make a final decision."?If Kelly doesn't join the NFL ranks, Yukica said "he ends up back in Oregon and continues on. And that's not a bad thing considering where his program is today."
NFL.com and ESPN reported that Nike founder Phil Knight, a major Oregon booster, pushed hard to keep Kelly at Oregon.
Oregon could face NCAA sanctions as the school is being investigated for recruiting violations.
Union Leader wire services contributed to this story.

Lice: Cleaning Lice From Combs, Clothing, and Other ItemsSkip to the navigation
Topic Overview
Lice can spread from human to object to human, but it's more common for lice to spread by human-to-human contact.
Removing lice from objects such as combs, clothing, and furniture is not a necessary part of treatment for head lice, but some people choose to do this as a way to help prevent lice from spreading to other household members.
Lice don't live longer than 2 days when they are not on a human. So you would only need to remove lice from items that the person with lice has used or worn in the 2 days just before he or she used lice-killing medicine.
If you choose to remove lice from household items, here are some tips:
- To rid hair brushes, combs, barrettes, and other hair ornaments of lice, soak them in hot water [at least 130°F (54°C)] for 5 to 10 minutes.
- Machine-wash towels, hats, scarves, clothes, bedding, and cloth toys in hot water [at least 130°F (54°C)] or place them in a dryer on the high heat setting for at least 5 to 10 minutes. Dry-cleaning or storing clothing in a sealed plastic bag for 2 weeks will also destroy lice. These methods are the main treatment for a person who has body lice.
- Vacuum carpets, upholstery, and mattresses to remove hairs that might have live eggs attached.
- You do not need to fumigate the house with insecticide sprays. This will not help treat or control a lice problem and may unnecessarily expose family members to toxic fumes.

Ed Piskor's "Hip Hop Family Tree" Comes To Fantagraphics
Official Press Release
What started out as a web comic Ed Piskor's Hip Hop Family Tree traces the foundation of hip hop from its Bronx origins with DJ Kool Herc and DJ Hollywood through Doug E. Fresh, Run DMC and beyond in four color fury. The comic easily transitions from depictions of live shows to breaking in the streets to the foundation of record companies, eager to spread the music. Currently published weekly at the epicenter of cool, Boing Boing, Piskor's work will be collected and printed by Fantagraphics next year.
The full-color book will be around 112 pages, collecting the first year's worth of comic strips spanning 1975-1980. As a beautiful backup to Piskor's story, ten beat-friendly cartoonists are providing pin-ups of their favorite hip hop artists and rappers. The overarching theme of comics delving deep into music culture make Hip Hop Family Tree and Ed Piskor make a happy addition to works of cartoonists like Peter Bagge, R. Crumb, Joe Sacco, Mary Fleener, the Hernandez Brothers and authors like Pat Thomas, Jacob McMurray and Kevin Avery.
Piskor is best known for his works like self-published and then Top Shelf published hacker comic, Wizzywig. Piskor also worked with late, great Harvey Pekar in the collection, The Beats. Associate Publisher Eric Reynolds said, "Hip Hop Family Tree is not only a great read, it's a wonderful visual history of the important genre of music of the past 30 years. We're excited to publish it." After all the paperwork was signed Piskor said, "While working on the this project, I began to feel like the belle at the ball, in a matter of speaking, because lots of different publishers started getting in touch. They had certain ideas that would have required compromise. Fantagraphics is one of the only publishers I personally sought out, because I thought they might facilitate my exact vision, and it feels like I was right. Basically, I'm a huge brat and I want what I want, and Fantagraphics is down for the cause."
You can see Piskor and Fantagraphics this weekend at SPX and keep your eyes and ears open for more jammin' comics by Ed Piskor. Start clearing away space now next to your turn table for Hip Hop Family Tree.

Alrighty, so I'm a little late to the party but I just finished watching the whole season of melodies. To sum up my thoughts:
- That teacher was broken, and was portrayed as such perfectly. Having said that, he couldn't go lower as a being of this Earth (I refuse to acknowledge him as a human) and I couldn't stand him being on my screen.
- Everything about Yuuko tore up my heart, what a great character. It was so hard watching her story unfold, and to watch it end the way it did.
- Yuu...he had his ups and downs, but the guy truly loved Yuuko and that definitely was something great to watch. Watching the scene on the roof at the end was extremely hard on me, as watching him restrain himself was the closest thing in a show to cause me to tear up...ever.
- Nagi...well, I liked her. Though she ultimately ended up as a side-character of sorts.
- Mizuki was cute, very cute. I liked the bright and cheerful personality she brought to the shows constant darkness.
- Kuze...his situation never really made me question the things he did. I also did enjoy him as a character, although overall I think he got overshadowed by the YuuxYuuko storyline in my eyes.
- I'm definitely a fan of the first season couples coming back, even if it was only for a little bit. Well...actually to be more accurate, I'm a fan of Miya x Hiro heh. Any additional screentime of those two was good screentime to me.
Overall, gotta love EF. Crazy visuals, and extremely in-depth thought processes and ideas if you care to dive deeper into this show. Though I must say, even with the infamous Miyako/Yuuko scenes the one that's going to stick with me the most is the rooftop scene of Melodies ep 12. It was just an unforgettable moment for me.

Well, been reading a few posts here and there, and while I have the entire series but have yet to watch it, I can already tell this series is going to hurt... but I suppose I need dark endings amongst my happy ones... besides, it actually makes for a good source of writing inspiration
and maybe it's just me, but one of these days, I'm going to figure out why anytime someone dies at the end of a series that is more or less self-sacrificing for their loved ones people call it "beautiful". To me, a death of a likable main character that is loved by others is just painful and sad, no matter how you do it. I absolutely cannot see the beauty in it.
But despite my complaining, I'm still watching it all, just to finish off the Ef series (and fortunately for me, I have other dramas with much happier endings awaiting me as well). I'll give a final opinion at the end of next week, when I'm free from school and can just marathon this

Well, no. This might be a spoiler, but since you've already spoiled yourself into thinking ef has a 'dark ending', I think you won't mind: ef's ending isn't particularly dark at all. The 'dark' part of ef's story everybody is most likely referring to is Yuuko's death, which I think everybody would also agree was tragic and senseless and not beautiful at all. However, it was also a bit of a foregone conclusion, given that it was the story of Yuu and Yuuko's past. So you needn't be worried: as for the ending itself, you might be pleasantly surprised to discover that it is as happy/uplifting as that of ef - memories.

eh, it can't be any worse than what TTGL did to me- finished that series off, and the last ten minutes left me numb for a while, before depression hit for a while
and with Yuu and Yuuko, I figure the way I'm going to survive that pairing is thinking of it as "they simply weren't meant to be"
as I said, final thoughts will come at the end of next week, when I have time to watch tons of anime

Doing some thread necro here... but I finally finished off the series... and overall, I'd have to give it about a 7.9/10. Mostly due to the sad/dark atmosphere of the entire series. Otherwise, it wasn't bad... though 10 hurt. It really hurt, at least for me, since I'm the type of guy who likes happy endings all around, and why romantic comedy animes are something I always look forward to.
But at least there was definite closure for everyone by the end... especially with Yuu. Even though Yuuko is no longer around, he still has all the others from the previous season, and as Mizuki commented, he's like a father (well, to her... so she might almost be something along the lines of the daughter he and Yuuko never got to have), especially with his idea of building a beautiful city. And he's going to keep moving forward... even with Yuuko gone, I admire how he's strong, and now seems less cold-hearted than he did before.
and if one thinks about it, he'll get to see Yuuko again. As they said in episode eleven, nothing lasts forever, everyone dies. So even though it may take quite a while, when his time comes, they'll be back together. Or at least, that's how I like to think of it
and now to go to my much more fun and light-hearted stuff... I can only take so much drama unless it ends like Clannad (which, after Kanon 2006, will probably be the next series I watch, along with After Story... and get my happy endings back)

there's only one season. kind of misleading to say 'season 1'
Anyway, I think the plane is a reminder of what he learnt about yuuko after meeting her again and learning about what happened after he abandoned her in the orphanage and she left to live with the uh.. evil man

Bright n Structured Marilyn Trouses
Added Apr 21, 2011
by carlyjcais
Portland, Oregon...
I was wanting a pair of front-pleated pegged 80's style trousers – and Marilyn fit the bill! I chose to make mine in a brushed cotton twill in a bright coral hue. I found after finishing that there is a bit too much fabric in the front of the legs for them to be completely flattering on my shape…perhaps stitching down the pleats will help?
Check out more photos of the pants at http://www.chic-steals.com/2011/04/4-20-11-outfit-dreaming-of-brights.html
Thanks for looking!:-D

They look cute. The pleats may soften after you wash the garment a few times. If you don't want this pattern to hold much shape in the pleats, try a fabric with more drape. In testing a fabric, try folding some pleats along the grain line you plan to use, then hold the fabric up to see how it flows. Squish the pleats onto a table or the like and see what happens. Move it around. This will let you know a lot about the fabric.

Hmm, I'm wanting something similar but I too am afraid of the extra front-butt volume… Thanks for the write-up— yours looks super cute on you in the pictures! I wonder if I could measure the pattern itself and try to draft some of the ease out? Kind of defeats the point of using a pattern. sigh I'm just gonna do it!

A Built by Wendy dress: Project 2 from the book, the Lumberjack dress except that I used brown/black tartan.
The only real issue I had with the pattern were the toggle closures: I could only find the wooden buttons and had no idea how to attach them to the dress in a neat manner. It worked out in the end, but it delayed the project considerably.
The checked-cloth pattern of the fabric was also a challenge and as you can see the back does not line up properly.
The dress has a zipper in the back and toggle closures in the front.
There are 2 darts in the front and cuffs on the 3/4 sleeves.
The skirt is cut diagonal and is just a gathered piece.

Ho Orli, thanks and I hope you'll post your dress once done, I'd like to see it! The boots are "Camper" and they're from the "twin" line, which means left and right boot are different. Had them for a long time though, not sure they still make them…

Thanks Liliv. I did cut it on the bias, but not to make it less puffy, but it could be because of that, I am not sure. I just did it cause the picture in the book had it :-)The fabric is a medium weight and the skirt not very wide…

It is very pretty with the diagonal plaids! And I insist that the gathering is very smooth, very nice.

Out of the Woodwork: Common Ground
Shared love of craftsmanship brings father and son closer.
By Kerry Pierce
Page: 88
From the August 2006 issue #156
Buy this issue now
My dad was a cabinetmaker for most of his working life. Unfortunately, he plied this trade in a small, working-class town in Northwestern Ohio, a town with more farmers than investment bankers, with more machinists than venture capitalists. So there weren't many local residents with the financial resources to hire my dad to build the high-style period reproductions he yearned to build. Instead, he built an ocean of kitchen and bathroom cabinets, remodeled every Columbia Gas Co. office in the northern half of the state, and built a dozen homes from scratch, fitting each with custom cabinetry of unusual quality.
My first job in high school was in his shop sweeping floors, unloading lumber and watching the clock. That's what I did best – I was without peer.

text: Juan Deaton I get pretty good vcsriee with Skype also. I'm very impressed with the QoS that is provides despite the fact that I have just DSL.If a network is properly implemented with Diffserv, MPLS and other QoS enhancing network tools a VoIP network has significant advantages over the PSTN. Once power backup is installed on IP servers availability of VoIP will go up considerably.Take for instance hurricane Katrina, the only way the Mayor of New Orleans could call the president with long distance was with Vonage. It's because of the single points of failure in the PSTN. Since IP is self healing it was able to properly route the call.June 18, 2007 | 9:50 am

Bittersweet isn't my favorite flavor in the world, but sometimes you just have to swallow the pill and hope the effect will be a healthy one. Indulge me for a moment while I daydream about how I got to this point.
Here's how it went: Back in 1998, I weaseled my way into the Alibi by writing 100-word "Speed Reader" book reviews (for five bucks a pop). The next year, I became the paper's theater reviewer. In 1999, I took over as arts and literature Editor. In 2005, I became editor.
Those are the basic stats, but they don't really say much, do they? My memories are of: Packs of dogs running wild through the office (quit staring at my lunch, Como). Carl wailing away on his guitar whenever his computer crashed (which was often). Cassyle rollerskating down the hallway. The stench of death in the old upstairs fridge. The rain falling on Hickory's desk. The weekend Quake sessions with accompanying violent cussing from the production boys. The Gracchi spewing face-melting punk rock in the lobby after hours. Huddling around that crappy black and white TV with the aluminum foil rabbit ears on 9/11, watching the world fall apart before our eyes.
What else can I say?
In the span of a decade, the Alibi became my second home. (It sometimes felt like my first home.) I've been both an eyewitness and a participant in this paper's finest moments as well as its worst. I'm going to miss the work, the grueling but weirdly satisfying toil required to put out a newspaper every week. Most of all, though, I'm going to miss the staff ... my friends.
On Oct. 1, I begin a new job as executive director of Common Cause New Mexico, the state chapter of the venerable government watchdog organization based in Washington, D.C. I'm extremely excited. I'll get to use my law degree, which has largely remained dormant for the past 12 years. More importantly, I'll have an opportunity to positively influence public life in New Mexico—no small thing.
Man, though, am I ever going to miss this place. The current editorial staff is the best we've ever had, and they've won plenty of regional and national awards to prove their worth. I fully expect the paper's best days are ahead of it.
That's one reason why I don't mind making an exit, not too much, anyway. To tell you the truth, I'm eager to just be an ordinary reader, to pick up the Alibi on Thursday from one of those ubiquitous blue metal boxes, just like everyone else, and take a peek inside. For a change, it'll be a surprise. I'm really looking forward to that.
So, so long, everyone—thanks for the fish, and the memories. I can honestly say it's been a pleasure.

Today, the University of Alabama athletics department released a statement from the Crimson Tide's head coaches on the passing of Mal Moore.
Today, the University of Alabama athletics department released a statement from the Crimson Tide's head coaches on the passing of Mal Moore.
Nick Saban head football coach
"Mal was truly a special person in every sense of the word. We can talk about all the championships Mal has been involved with, but I think what will be remembered most was the man he was. He always put the best interests of others ahead of his own, he carried himself as a first-class gentleman, and he helped bring out the best in those around him.
"Mal was an outstanding leader in terms of all he did for Alabama athletics. Most importantly, he was a great friend to me and my family. Mal was the number one reason we decided to make the move to Tuscaloosa.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, especially his daughter Heather. There's no question we have lost a great man today. What won't be lost is Mal's legacy in serving our University to make it a better place today and in the future. Nobody genuinely cared more about the Crimson Tide than Mal did. Mal has positively impacted athletics at Alabama unlike anyone ever has or probably ever will."
Sarah Patterson, head gymnastics coach
"Mal's passing is devastating to me and to everyone in the Crimson Tide family. No one loved the University of Alabama more than Mal Moore and that love and devotion is why he was the heart and soul of this athletics department and it's why he'll be missed in ways large and small for years to come. I knew Mal for more than 30 years and I can't imagine this athletics department without him. I will miss his amazing heart, his generous spirit and his unwavering integrity."
Anthony Grant, head men's basketball coach
"We are extremely saddened to hear the news of Coach Moore's passing today. We are eternally grateful for all he has done for our family. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his daughter, Heather, his grandchildren and extended family. He was a great man."
Mitch Gaspard, head baseball coach
"First of all, our thoughts and prayers go out to Coach Moore's family and not enough can be said about what he stood for. We talk about character and the things he stood for with our team every day, and all of us live by his example daily. It's a sad day for the entire Alabama family. Unlike anywhere else in the country, when you put on the jersey that says 'Alabama' across the chest, the pride and tradition starts at the top. There are so many people that have helped build that standard, but none bigger than Coach Moore. With his history, what he stood for and how he represented this great University, he always did it in a first class manner."
Patrick Murphy, head softball coach
"I think our team realized what a champion he was for the whole athletic department, the state of Alabama, he was Alabama through and through. From Jackie Traina to Jordan Patterson to Courtney Conley, they all realized that. When he went up to the World Series last year and stood out in the rain with everybody else, it meant a lot to everyone in the program. Not just to that team but the kids on all 17 teams. We are really going to miss him."
Mic Potter, head women's golf coach
"Mal Moore will be truly missed. He loved golf and it is going to be tough not to have him out at the golf center, and not being able to get his input. His vision for our program and our facility is something that we will see every day going forward. The golf program is certainly going to miss him. Personally, Coach More gave me the opportunity to come to Alabama and have the success we have had with this program. I will forever be indebted to him for that. To trust a 50-year-old male with resurrecting the women's golf team was, I felt, a little bit of a leap of faith for him. I will never forget that, but the tools and resources that he gave our team to not only be successful as collegiate golfers, but for them to go forward and be successful as professionals, you just can't ask for more than that. The resources we have are unparalleled and it is all due to Mal Moore and his vision."
Jay Seawell, head men's golf coach
"I'm broken hearted today. I owe a great deal to Coach Moore. I would not be here without him, and our program would not be what it is without him. For me personally, it is a tough day. Mal's vision is why I am at the University of Alabama. His love for the University, and his vision for how to help it succeed. Our current players as well as our former players truly realize what Coach Moore has done to make Alabama golf what it is."
Dennis Pursley, head swimming and diving coach
"Coach Moore was a big reason that I came to Alabama. I've spent my entire career working with college coaches around the country and hearing them sing the blues that their athletics directors were one-track football people, but Coach Moore wasn't that way. He genuinely cared about the school and everyone associated with it. He cared about all the sports and you just felt like he was someone you wanted to work for. He's the reason that we have the environment we do at the University and the athletics department, where everyone supports one another and cares what happens in all the sports across the board. He's the one that has been the driving force behind all that. We've lost a great man."
Ed Allen, head volleyball coach
"The University has lost a true champion. The standard of excellence that Coach Moore has established over the years will continue to position us favorably as we continue to pursue excellence in our given sports. Alabama has lost a great leader who will be sorely missed."
Jenny Mainz, head women's tennis coach
"I am devastated at the news of Coach Moore's passing. I have the highest regard for him as a human being, and he was a very special person. What I admired most about Coach Moore was his character, integrity and gracious heart. You often hear of a coach being called a players' coach. Well he was a coaches' athletic director. He always recognized our contributions and took care of everyone. He was very good to me personally when my father was sick. His true colors were revealed with his patience, support and love. He believed in me and our team, and for that, I am forever grateful."
Dan Waters, head track & field coach
"I don't think the magnitude of what our athletic department lost today can truly be appreciated. What Coach Moore did here is hard to calculate or understand, but that will become apparent over the coming years. He left a legacy that is likely unmatched. And to do it in the way that he did – with humility, patience and grace – is something that is rare. Athletics can be a tough business, but I don't know a single person that is an adversary for Coach Moore. That may say more about him as a person than anything I can say. To say we will miss him doesn't say nearly enough."
Wendell Hudson, head women's basketball coach
"I'm saddened in the loss of a close friend in Mal Moore. The athletic department and University have lost someone that truly dedicated his life to the individuals that worked in both."
George Husack, head men's tennis coach
"I'm deeply saddened by this news as I'm at Alabama because of Coach Moore. Simply put, he was a great man and his contributions to this department, University and state will always be remembered. His last words to me were to always walk confidently. We all will walk, work and live with more confidence because of his pure and genuine commitment to all of the Alabama family."
Larry Davis, head rowing coach
"I am greatly saddened to hear that Coach Moore has passed away. He was instrumental in developing the rowing program and elevating it into a varsity sport. I am truly saddened that he will not be here to see one of his facilities, the women's rowing boathouse, be completed. It is going to be a big step for our program. I give my condolences to his entire family. He is truly going to be missed. One of the things I talk to the team about is that to be successful as a team you need leadership and you need to be loyal to the principles that you establish and you have to be that kind of dedicated individual and be consistent in that commitment. Mal was a classic example of someone who was a great leader and a team player as well as someone who was dedicated and had a passion for what he does. He has really helped the University and the athletic department achieve greatness and that is a great example for our girls."

I. The Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death Speech
Patrick Henry
Born in 1736, died in 1799; admitted to the Bar in 1760; entered the Virginia House of Burgesses in 1765; acted with Thomas Jefferson in promoting intercourse between the Colonies in 1773; Member of the First Continental Congress in 1774; elected Governor of Virginia in 1776 and 1784; Member of the Convention which ratified the Constitution in 1788, acting with the antifederalists.
man thinks more highly than I do of the patriotism, as well as abilities, of the very worthy gentlemen who have just addressed the House. But different men often see the same subject in different lights; and, therefore, I hope it will not be thought disrespectful to those gentlemen, if, entertaining as I do opinions of a character very opposite to theirs, I shall speak forth my sentiments freely and without reserve. This is no time for ceremony.
The question before the House is one of awful moment to this country. For my own part, I consider it as nothing less than a question of freedom or slavery; and in proportion to the magnitude of the subject ought to be the freedom of the debate. It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfil the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country. Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason toward my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the Majesty of Heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings.
Mr. President, it is natural to man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth, and listen to the song of that siren, till she transforms us into beasts. Is this the part of wise men, engaged in a great and arduous struggle for liberty? Are we disposed to be of the number of those, who, having eyes, see not, and having ears, hear not, the things which so nearly concern their temporal salvation? For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst, and to provide for it.
I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided, and that is the lamp of experience. I know of no way of judging of the future but by the past. And judging by the past, I wish to know what there has been in the conduct of the British ministry for the last ten years to justify those hopes with which gentlemen have been pleased to solace themselves and the House. Is it that insidious smile with which our petition
has been lately received? Trust it not, sir; it will prove a snare to your feet. Suffer not yourselves to be betrayed with a kiss. Ask yourselves how this gracious reception of our petition comports with those warlike preparations which cover our waters and darken our land. Are fleets and armies necessary to a work of love and reconciliation? Have we shown ourselves so unwilling to be reconciled that force must be called in to win back our love? Let us not deceive ourselves, sir. These are the implements of war and subjugation; the last arguments to which kings resort.
I ask gentlemen, sir, what means this martial array, if its purpose be not to force us to submission? Can gentlemen assign any other possible motive for it? Has Great Britain any enemy in this quarter of the world to call for all this accumulation of navies and armies? No, sir, she has none. They are meant for us: they can be meant for no other. They are sent over to bind and rivet upon us those chains which the British ministry have been so long forging. And what have we to oppose to them? Shall we try argument? Sir, we have been trying that for the last ten years. Have we anything new to offer upon the subject? Nothing. We have held the subject up in every light of which it is capable; but it has been all in vain.
Shall we resort to entreaty and humble supplication? What terms shall we find which have not been already exhausted? Let us not, I beseech you, sir, deceive ourselves longer. Sir, we have done everything that could be done, to avert the storm which is now coming on. We have petitioned; we have remonstrated; we have supplicated; we have prostrated ourselves before the throne, and have implored its interposition to arrest the tyrannical hands of the ministry and Parliament. Our petitions have been slighted; our remonstrances have produced additional violence and insult; our supplications have been disregarded, and we have been spurned, with contempt, from the foot of the throne!
In vain, after these things, may we indulge the fond hope of peace and reconciliation. There is no longer any room for hope. If we wish to be freeif we mean to preserve inviolate those inestimable privileges for which we have been so long contendingif we mean not basely to abandon the noble struggle in which we have been so long engaged, and which we have pledged ourselves never to abandon, until the glorious object of our contest shall be obtainedwe must fight! I repeat it, sir, we must fight! An appeal to arms and to the God of Hosts is all that is left us!
They tell us, sir, that we are weakunable to cope with so formidable an adversary. But when shall we be stronger? Will it be the next week, or the next year? Will it be when we are totally disarmed, and when a British guard shall be stationed in every house? Shall we gather strength by irresolution and inaction? Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance by lying supinely on our backs and hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot?
Sir, we are not weak if we make a proper use of those means which the God of nature has placed in our power. Three millions of people armed in the holy cause of liberty, and in such a country as that which we possess, are invincible by any force which our enemy can send against us. Besides, air, we shall not fight our battles alone. There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations, and who will raise up friends to fight our battles for us. The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave. Besides, sir, we have no election. If we were base enough to desire it, it is now too late to retire from the contest. There is no retreat but in submission and slavery! Our chains are forged! Their clanking may be heard on the plains of Boston!
The war is inevitableand let is come! I repeat it, sir, let it come!
It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peacebut there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms!
Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!
Note 1.
Delivered on March 23, 1775, before the Second Revolutionary Convention of Virginia, in the old church in Richmond. Of Patrick Henrys famous Treason speech, made in the House of Burgesses in May, 1765, when he had introduced his resolutions against the Stamp Act, only a fragment has come down to us. We are told that in the midst of the debate he exclaimed, in a voice of thunder and with the look of a god, Cæsar had his Brutus, Charles the First his Cromwell, and George the Third . At this point the speaker of the House cried treason, and the word treason was echoed back from many parts of the House. Henry faltered not for an instant, but rising to a loftier attitude and fixing on the speaker an eye of the most determined fire, finished his sentence with the firmest emphasis on the words, may profit by their example. If this be treason, make the most of it. [
Note 2.
The Petition of Congress to the King, voted on October 25, 1774. [
Note 3.
In the autumn of 1774 General Gage had begun to fortify Boston. [
Note 4.
The Battle of Lexington occurred less than a month after this speech was deliveredthat is, on April 19, 1775. [
Note 5.
William Wirt, the biographer of Henry, says that when Henry took his seat, no murmur of applause was heard. The effect was too deep. After the trance of a moment several members started from their seats. The cry
to arms!
seemed to quiver on every lip, and gleam from every eye. They became impatient of speech. Their souls were on fire for action. [

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Senator Robert Menendez, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said he hoped a Senate resolution on the use of U.S. military force in Syria would be written by the end of Tuesday, and it was likely the panel could vote on it on Wednesday.
Menendez said during a hearing that committee leaders and staff were working on a text that would let President Barack Obama's administration pursue military action in Syria, but ensure that it is not an open-ended engagement "and specifically not with boots on the ground, American troops on the ground."
Obama is asking Congress to back his call for limited U.S. strikes on Syria to punish President Bashar al-Assad for his suspected use of chemical weapons against civilians.
At the end of the 3-1/2 hour hearing on Syria, Menendez told the 18 committee members that a business meeting to vote on a text of the resolution was "likely" after a classified hearing with top administration officials on Wednesday morning.
"It is likely that we could very well be in a business meeting sometime after the classified hearing tomorrow morning," Menendez said.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — Federal budget cuts have caused delays in at least one terror-related court case in New York and prompted a federal judge in Nebraska to say he is "seriously contemplating" dismissing some criminal cases.
The automatic cuts are also causing concerns about funding for the defense of the Boston Marathon bombing suspect, who is being represented by a public defender's office that's facing three weeks of unpaid furloughs and whose defense costs could run into millions of dollars.
Federal defenders' offices have been hit especially hard by the cuts, which amount to about 10 percent of their budgets for the fiscal year that ends Sept. 30. Some offices have laid off staffers. The head public defender in Southern Ohio even laid himself off as a way to save money.
Much of the reductions are due to automatic cuts known as the sequester, and public defenders warn they could face even more cuts next year.
Members of the Federal Bar Association, including federal lawyers and judges, were on Capitol Hill on Thursday, meeting with members of the House and Senate and their staffers and appealing to them for adequate funding, said Geoff Cheshire, an assistant federal public defender from Arizona, who was among them.
"The federal defenders are the front bumper of this fiscal crunch, getting hit first and hardest. But behind it is the third branch of government as a whole. The message is, this is having real effects on the federal courts and the rule of law," Cheshire said.
He and others are pushing for Congress to make an emergency appropriation for the judiciary that would mitigate some of the cuts to defenders and the court system. Cheshire said $61 million would be enough to eliminate the furloughs.
In New York, furloughs have caused delays in the case of Osama bin Laden's son-in-law, charged with conspiring to kill Americans in his role as al-Qaida's chief spokesman. A public defender told U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan this month that furloughs in his office were making it impossible to prepare for trial quickly, prompting the judge to say he found it "extremely troublesome" and "stunning" that sequestration was interfering with the case.
But it's not just the public defenders who are being affected. Federal courthouses around the country are starting to close their doors to the public as ways to deal with the sequester.
In the U.S. District Court of the Northern District of California, courtrooms and court clerks' offices will be shuttered in San Francisco, San Jose and Eureka on the first Friday of each month and in Oakland on the first Monday of the month through the end of September. On those days, no clerks or support staff will be available to run the courtrooms so no trials will move forward.
"There will be no proceedings in any of the courtrooms in those facilities on those days I described," said Richard W. Wieking, clerk of court for the Northern District.
Other courthouses also are reducing services.
In U.S. District Court in Delaware, only emergency criminal procedures will be heard on Fridays as a way to help federal prosecutors, federal defenders and U.S. marshals manage their jobs with the furloughs, Clerk of Court John Cerino said. The courthouses will be open, but the courts won't be hearing "anything that's not an emergency," he said.
The Department of Justice told employees on Wednesday that despite budget cuts it would not furlough anyone, including FBI agents and prosecutors. While that's good news for prosecutors, it leaves an imbalance that affects cases, several defenders said. By law, prosecutors and defenders are supposed to be paid the same but effectively are not when some defenders have to take three weeks off, they said.
Boston federal defender Miriam Conrad is representing marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. She told The Associated Press on Wednesday that it was too early to tell what the impact of the furloughs would be on Tsarnaev's case.
Other public defenders warned of the imbalance when one side has the resources of the entire Department of Justice behind it and the other is trying to handle deep cuts that could affect its investigations, ability to pay experts, and the ability to show up in court five days a week.
"Imagine the imbalance now of having people working on the case losing two or three weeks of pay," said Michael Nachmanoff, a federal public defender in Virginia.
One month before the bombings happened, Conrad told the AP in an interview that she worried furloughs could cause delays, hurt the cause of justice, be devastating to her office and demoralize her staff. She noted at the time that the office can't require or even allow its lawyers to work on furlough days.
Meanwhile, a senior federal judge in Nebraska said he is "seriously contemplating" dismissing some criminal cases, perhaps involving immigration offenses, to cope with public defender furloughs in the state.
U.S. District Judge Richard Kopf said in a post on his Hercules and the Umpire blog that Congress is squarely to blame for the predicament.
"Congress is therefore on notice that its failure to fund the judiciary, and most particularly the Federal Public Defenders and Criminal Justice Act counsel, may result in the guilty going unpunished. If a banana republic is what members of Congress want, I may help them get it," Kopf said.
An appointee of President George H.W. Bush, Kopf took on a reduced caseload at the end of 2011. He started his blog on the role of judges in February.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Lawmakers urged the White House on Thursday to step up efforts to win approval of "trade promotion authority," which is needed to wrap up trade deals and to respond to congressional concerns about foreign currency practices.
"While we are making progress (on crafting a trade promotion authority bill), we will not be able to do that without the administration's full involvement and engagement," House of Representatives Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp told U.S. Trade Representative Michael Froman during a hearing.
"We really do need to be full partners in this venture if it's to succeed."
Trade promotion authority, or TPA, allows the White House to submit trade agreements to Congress for straight up-or-down votes without amendments. It is considered vital to encouraging other countries to put their best offers on the table in talks with the United States.
TPA expired in 2007 and Camp has been working on a bill to renew it with Representative Sandy Levin, the top Democrat on the Ways and Means Committee, and Senators Max Baucus and Orrin Hatch, the Democratic chairman and top Republican on the Senate Finance Committee.
The bipartisan effort is seen as the best chance to pass the legislation, which many Democrats have opposed in the past because they believe trade agreements cause U.S. job losses rather than create them.
Congress is considering the trade bill because the White House is engaged in two huge trade negotiations: one with Japan and 10 other countries in the Asia-Pacific region and another with the 28 nations of the European Union.
The talks on the proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership are further along and Froman repeated on Thursday that the administration hopes to reach a deal by the end of the year.
Froman also said he believed the White House needed TPA in order to finish the negotiations, but declined to give lawmakers any sort of deadline for passing the bill.
Negotiators are currently in Malaysia for the 18th round of talks on the Trans-Pacific pact.
Levin also urged the White House to become more engaged in talks on TPA, saying many lawmakers have questions about the substance of trade agreements being negotiated and what oversight role they would have once they are concluded.
"Simply to say let's pass (TPA) without focusing on its contents, I think, is a serious mistake substantively, and, procedurally, would likely lead to much more conflict instead of confluence," the Michigan Democrat said.
Camp and Levin also stressed the need for the administration to talk to lawmakers about what plans, if any, it has for addressing currency concerns in trade agreements.
That issue has come to the fore because of Japan's recent decision to join talks on the Trans-Pacific Partnership.
Many U.S. lawmakers believe Japan has driven down the value of its currency to give its exporters an unfair price advantage, particularly in the auto sector.
They want the pact to contain rules against "currency manipulation," a politically difficult area that has not been negotiated in previous trade agreements.
"I think the administration needs to face up very directly to the inclusion of currency issues in both TPP (Trans-Pacific Partnership) and the discussions with Europe," Levin said.
Camp was less emphatic about the need for currency rules in trade pacts, but said it was an important issue for many members of Congress whose support will be needed to approve trade deals.
"That's something I want to work very closely with the administration on so that we develop the right policy," Camp told reporters after the hearing.
Froman avoided taking a stand, noting that the U.S. Treasury Department usually takes the lead on currency issues.
"Whether it's through the G7 in the case of Japan, or the G20, the IMF, or elsewhere with regard to China, we've made very clear the importance of exchange rates being based on market determined forces," he told lawmakers.

It's Friday. It's 7am. I have at least another half an hour before my higher brain functions begin to react to the coffee. It's tutorial time.
In this outing I'm going to be looking at the basis of all real programming - arrays. Every programming language uses arrays. An array is a declared variable in a program that can hold many values. The individual values held within the variable are accessed using the ordinal of the values position within the array eg. variable(0). In this instance the ordinal, 0, would return the first (arrays are 0 based) value in the array variable.
Static arrays
Think of a single dimension array as a list. Consider the following snippet:
This snippet declares the array fruit as having 3 values (0 through 2) and sets a value for each ordinal. This is a static array because the number of items that the array hold is fixed by the DIM statement. But in the real world we seldom have a use for static code such as this. More often we want arrays to hold an number of values that can only be determined at runtime.Code:dim fruit(2) fruit(0) = "apple" fruit(1) = "orange" fruit(2) = "banana"
Single dimesion arrays
Let's crete our array of fruits again but this time make it dynamic, so that it can hold an indeterminate number of items.
What just happened? Ok - first we declared our array. Using the syntax above the array is created empty. To add the first item to our list we need to tell the array to make a space for our new value. This is done using the REDIM statement, which re-dimensions the array. By using the PRESERVE keyword we tell the array to remember all previously stored values. If we ommit the preserve keyword any data that already exists in our array is lost.Code:'Declare our array fruit = array 'Add a new value to our array. redim preserve fruit(ubound(fruit)+1) fruit(ubound(fruit)) = "apple" redim preserve fruit(ubound(fruit)+1) fruit(ubound(fruit)) = "orange" redim preserve fruit(ubound(fruit)+1) fruit(ubound(fruit)) = "banana"
We can find out how many values an array holds using the UBOUND keyword. UBOUND(anArray) tells us how many items there are in teh array anArray. Because arrays are 0 based the number of items in a single dimesion array always equals UBOUND(anArray)+1. So the value of fruit(ubound(fruit)+1) will equal 0, the number of items currently held in the array fruit +1. The line fruit(ubound(fruit)) = "apple" sets the new value that we have created (at ordinal 0) in the array to "apple".
means create a new value 1 greater than the current number of items in the array, keeping all the existsing values and:Code:redim preserve fruit(ubound(fruit)+1)
Sets the value of the newly created item.Code:fruit(ubound(fruit)) = "apple"
Multidimensional arrays
You can have arrays with many dimensions. Imagine a 2 dimensional array as a table. Imagine a 3 dimensional array as a cube. Try not to imagine a number of dimensions large than 3 however because it is the prime cause of spontanious human combustion. I think you can have a riduculous number of arrays in VB (20? maybe) but certainly enough that you could never use them. Arrays with more than 3 dimensions are very rarely used because the human mind has difficulty thinking in more than 3 dimensions. If someone ever asks you for more than 3 dimensions ask for mental insurance. You'll need it. But I digress.
Once again let's start with the static version:
Once again this code is not very useful because it is static. So how can we make it dynamic? When using multi dimensional arrays we can still use our UBOUND keyword. With multidimesional arrays the syntax of the UBOUND is slighly different however:Code:'It's a table - 3 cells wide by three cells high 'Think of this as x,y axis dim aTable(2,2) atable(0,0) = "0,0" atable(0,1) = "0,1" atable(0,2) = "0,2" atable(1,0) = "1,0" atable(1,1) = "1,1" atable(1,2) = "1,2" atable(2,0) = "2,0" atable(2,1) = "2,1" atable(2,2) = "2,2"
Where anArray is the array that you wish to find the itemcount for and dimension is the dimension number.Code:UBOUND(anArray,Dimension)
An example. To get the upper bound of our x and y dimensions above we would use the following:
We cannot however us the PRESERVE keyword when re-decalring multi dimesional arrays and so the dynamic version of the above code is a bit more sticky. We can however get round the problem by writing a function that:Code:ubound(aTable,1) ubound(aTable,2)
1...Creates a tempoary array of the right dimensions
2...Copies the old data into the tempoary array
3...Adds the new data to the tempoary array
4...Returns the tempoary array.
The function might look like this:
Directional sorting of 2 dimensional arraysCode:aTable = array aRow = array aRow = ("Apples","Green","pips") aTable = AppendRecord(aTable,aRow) aRow = ("Oranges","Orange","pith") aTable = AppendRecord(aTable,aRow) aRow = ("Bananas","Yellow","peel") aTable = AppendRecord(aTable,aRow) for y = 0 to UBOUND(aTable,1) for x = 0 to UBOUND(aTable,2) echo aTable(y,x) ' Think (Row,Column) next next Public Function AppendRecord(p_Table,p_Record) temp = array 'p_table is a 2 dimesional array 'p_Record is a 1 dimesional array 'p_record will be treated as a row and added to the 'end of the p_table array 'Create an empty array of correct new dimensions redim temp(ubound(p_Table,1)+1, ubound(p_record)) 'Add the p_Table values to temp for y = 0 to ubound(p_Table,1) for x = 0 to ubound(p_Table,2) 'Copy the value at cell y,x from p_Table to temp temp(y,x) = p_Table(y,x) next next '**Create a new record in the array 'Iterate through fields in passed array adding to the temp array for n = 0 to ubound(p_record) temp(ubound(temp,1),n) = p_record(n) next 'Set the new values in the p_Table Array AppendRecord = temp End Function
And now, for those of you who havn't given up, here's an ASP class that I use to sort 2 dimensional arrays (tables). Once you've got your 2 dimensional array (or table) you will probably want to be able to sort it, either into ascending or decending order, and using the column ordinal to sort by. This code is written in a class so that I can instantiate a copy of it for within any other script without re-writting this code.
The class file!Code:SortArray(aArray,OrderBy,Dir) aArray - 2 dimensional array OrderBy - Ordinal of column to sort by - default 0 Dir - Direction to sort in ("ASC"/"DESC") - default "asc"
Code:<% '<----- VBScript Class By NTSA '<----- www.ntsa.org.uk '<----- Class Name : ArrayCls '<----- Compile Date : 11/09/2002 Class ArrayCls Public function SortArray(aArray,OrderBy,Dir) 'aArray - 2 dimensional array 'OrderBy - Ordinal of column to sort by 'Dir - Direction to sort in (ASC/DESC) 'If sort direction is ommitted or not asc or desc then set to asc dir = lcase (dir) if dir = "" or (dir<>"asc" and dir<>"desc") then dir = "asc" if len(orderby) = 0 then orderby = 0 san = 0 do changed = false for row = 0 to ubound(aArray,1)-1 select case AlphaCompare(aArray(row,OrderBy),aArray(row+1,OrderBy)) case 0 'Both the same case 1 'row row is alpha< than row row+1 IF dir = "desc" then aArray = SwapRows(aArray,row,row+1) changed = true end if case 2 'row row+1 is alpha< than row n if dir = "asc" then aArray = SwapRows(aArray,row,row+1) changed = true end if end select next san = san + 1 loop until changed = false or san = ubound(aArray,1) IF san => (ubound(aArray,1)*ubound(aArray,1)) THEN response.write "failed sanity check!

Today's Meditation
Read Psalm 46:1-11
The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry.
- Psalm 34:15 (KJV)
My niece always called me when she had a problem to work through. One morning, she had a particularly complicated problem that took some time to explain. I was listening intently, without interrupting her, in order to get an accurate sense of her concern. Suddenly, she stopped and asked, "Are you there?"
"Yes," I answered. "I'm listening." Reassured, she continued. Then we talked until she felt her problem was resolved.
It occurred to me that sometimes we feel as if God is not listening or has forgotten about us. Like my niece, we ask, "Are you there?" The answer is yes. God is always with us, listening to us, caring about us, leading us through every situation. "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble" (Ps. 46:1). We need only to be still and to listen for God's voice.
Ecclesiastes 3:7 says that there is "a time to keep silence, and a time to speak." God listens and God speaks, sometimes directly to us inwardly, in our heart and mind, and sometimes through other people.
Meedie Monegan
(California, USA)
Thought for the Day: Even when we feel that no one is there, God is listening.
Prayer: Gracious God, help us to be good listeners so that your inspiration can flow through us to those who need direction. Amen.

BAGHDAD (AP) — Insurgents unleashed a new wave of bombings across Iraq early Wednesday targeting security forces and civilians, and killing 17 people and wounding dozens more in the latest challenge to government efforts to promote a sense of stability, police and health officials said.
The deadliest explosions took place in the disputed northern city of Kirkuk. In the first attack, a parked car bomb exploded near the offices of a Kurdish political party, then another bomb went off as police and rescuers gathered, a police officer said. Such double bombings are a common insurgent tactic. Five members of a security unit from the nearby Kurdistan self-rule region were killed and four were wounded, officials said.
About an hour later, another parked car bomb hit an Iraqi army patrol in the Sunni-dominated town of Hawija to the west of Kirkuk, killing five soldiers and wounding four.
Kirkuk, about 290 kilometers (175 miles) north of Baghdad, is home to a mix of Arabs, Kurds and Turkomen, all competing for control of the city.
In Baghdad, a parked car bomb shook the city center during the morning rush hour, killing one civilian and wounding 10, police said.
The blast went off near the Palestine and Ishtar Sheraton hotels, two downtown landmarks, rattling buildings several blocks away and sending a thick plume of black smoke billowing into the air. A series of coordinated attacks near the two hotels and others in Baghdad killed at least 37 people in January 2010.
To the south of Baghdad, another parked car bomb went off in a market for villagers near the city of Hillah, killing six people and wounding 42, two police officers said. Two women were among the dead. Hillah is 95 kilometers (60 miles) south of Baghdad.
Health official confirmed the casualty figures. All officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the media.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility, though suicide car bombings are a favorite tactic of Sunni militant groups such as al-Qaida.

While we have new releases all year long for all the puzzle fanatics out there, the first few months of each year are by far the busiest! Puzzle Warehouse has a huge influx of new items because manufacturers have just come out with 2013 catalogs, and boy are those fun to browse!
With this new offering of puzzles, there's also a downside. Some puzzles have to stop being made so that new ones can live! These are End of Life puzzles, also called retired or discontinued, but basically puzzles that aren't going to be re-stocked because the manufacturer is no longer producing them.
However, there is some good news in it for you, the puzzle aficionado: we have a ton of sales!
So, this is it – your last chance for these sweet puzzles. After we sell out, you will have to scour eBay to get your hands on one. Here's our favorite end-of-lifers that are on sale for less than $20 – a bunch of lovely puzzles that you might want to snatch up quick — before it's too late!*
*Left in stock totals below are as of Feb. 22, 2013. We cannot guarantee that they are still available after this post is published, but will make every effort to update the blog if any sell out.
