Short presentation of the Arhitext Review
Arhitext, boasting a more than 20-year old tradition on the market of specialized architecture publications, is an elite cultural magazine and the most important trend-setting magazine in this field. Its emergence on the market of Romanian cultural publications meant the recovery of a less approached or known area, dealing with the current achievements in the field of architecture, urban planning, architectural and urban design, thus becoming a magazine of great interest on a national, as well as international scale.
Arhitext, more than a magazine, may be regarded as a collection publication carrying theoretical weight in the field of architecture, proposing an inter-disciplinary approach to this field.
The set of themes of the magazine's issues is of great topical interest, each theme defining itself rather through the interdisciplinary analysis of the concept discussed and through a direct connection to the present reality. This approach to architecture has caused Arhitext to stand out among the other publications on the market and to become an important theoretical landmark in the analysis of current architecture.
One major feature of the review is the balance between image and text, the latter being constantly emphasized by illustrations. Having a 24-29.7 cm format, 176 pages, all polychrome, the review is published every 2 months by Arhitext Design Foundation, a non-profit organization, and it is distributed all over the country and abroad. It is distributed in Bucharest, in all other major cities of Romania, and abroad, through specialized distributors and through subscriptions (our subscribers are mainly architectural offices, building societies, planning centers, Order of Architects, cultural centers, students in architecture, design and arts, engineers, constructors, photographers, embassies).

Long Island pumpkin poaching still unsolved
600 pumpkins, valued at $4,200, were stolen from Rottkamp's Farm
Some Grinch stole Halloween in Long Island.
About 600 pumpkins -- valued at $4,200 -- were stolen from Rottkamp's Farm in Calverton, New York, police said Saturday.
Although there are no direct leads in the heist, which occurred late Sunday or early Monday, Detective Timothy Hubbard of the Riverhead Police Department said he suspects this is too large a bundle for personal use. It might be another farmer looking to sell these at another pumpkin stand, he said.
Hubbard said someone might have backed up a truck to make off with the pile of pumpkins in the rural area.
"Most of the farmers out here are hardworking and honest, but someone who has a need to sell pumpkins is looking to make some money," Hubbard said.
CNN's calls to Rottkamp's Farm were not returned.

Oh, These Poor, Billionaire NBA Owners By Dave Zirin Edge of Sports September 30, 2011 http://bit.ly/poVax2 By the time you read this, the lockout could be over. Also, by the time you read this, I could be dunking right after finishing my four-minute mile. The owners have locked the doors and will not reopen them until the Players Association can, to quote David Stern's own words, "guarantee profitability" for every team. Stern's favorite subject these days is how the billionaires he represents are just losing money hand over fist. These are the wronged parties: the hard- working, exploited, victimized chief executives sacrificing their hard-earned fortunes just to overpay their ungrateful players and provide us simple fans with entertainment. SLAM readers who resign themselves to the sports page shouldn't be fooled. What Stern and company are doing is just the sports page wing of an all-out public relations offensive on behalf of the trampled-upon- rights of your friendly, neighborhood billionaire. Pass the Alka Seltzer. Poverty might be at a 20-year high. Public workers, like teachers, firefighters and postal workers, are being laid off in droves. Our infrastructure may be rotting. Yet billionaires pay fewer taxes than ever and a broad based call has gone out for them to pay their share. As billionaire Warren Buffet has said, he actually pays a lower tax rate than his secretary. The "wronged billionaire," who is just trying to create jobs in between carrying our economy, has become been created out of whole cloth to stifle, confuse and silence our rage. As one "wronged billionaire", Washington Wizards owner Ted Leonsis said recently, "Economic Success has somehow become the new boogie man; some in the Democratic party are now casting about for enemies and business leaders and anyone who has achieved success in terms of rank or fiscal success is being cast as a bad guy in a black hat. This is counter to the American Dream and is really turning off so many people that love American and basically carry our country on their aying taxes and by employing people and creating GDP." Ted Leonsis also claims to be losing money by the boatload. The problem is that it's all an artfully crafted lie. Leonsis and other NBA owners might be losing money on the team, as bestselling author Malcolm Gladwell recently explained, but that's just one part of the story. It doesn't take into account the mammoth tax breaks, the publicly funded arena, and the immediate real estate that surrounds their home base. Factor those in and, well, there's a reason why Ted Leonsis is a billionaire. To create the Verizon Center in the heart of DC's Chinatown, residential housing was razed, businesses were shuttered and families were priced out of the neighborhood. Now instead of Chinese families, we have Starbucks and Chipotle with Chinese lettering above their blaring signage. As for "carrying the country" on his back, Leonsis might want to thank his army of minimum wage Verizon Center workers for keeping his ample frame in fancy suits. Behind every great fortune is truly a great crime. The owners of the NBA and David Stern have failed. They've failed to be accountable to the communities they've raided and to the players they've willingly and happily put under contract. For them to cry about how put upon they are in a country where almost 20 percent of the population can't find work is obscene. This is why Gladwell, who is no radical, ended his column by writing, "We have moved from a country of relative economic equality to a place where the gap between rich and poor is exceeded by only Singapore and Hong Kong. The rich have gone from being grateful for what they have to pushing for everything they can get. They have mastered the arts of whining and predation, without regard to logic or shame. In the end, this is the lesson of the NBA lockout." He's right. I choose to stand with Zach Randolph. Z-Bo said, "I'm definitely supporting the union. And we all should. This is something I've never been through so it's frustrating, but all of the players should stick together. If that's a sacrifice we have to make (in order) to make it better for the future then, yeah, I'm OK with it." I'm not OK with this lockout. I'm not OK with missing hoop. But I'm less OK with billionaires who lie about their losses because they want a few dollars more.

Problems of woody plants and their solutions
By Jim Leser
Cedaredge Tree Board
Have you ever had a garden question that you couldn't answer? Well I have and more than once a year. But there is help for you from many sources.
Today I am going to wear my two hats, that of a master gardener and that of a Cedaredge Tree Board member. My advice is to seek advice from several sources and choose what appears to be the best answer. This may not be the answer you were wanting.
Google is an excellent source for gardening information but you must carefully evaluate the source and the so called expert's credentials. Commercial sources can be sound but also may come with an underlying objective to sell you something the business markets.
You must also consider the location of the information. Advice obtained from North Carolina most likely will not have a fit for our area. Different climate and soil conditions can affect the utility of the advice.
Now let us get back to local sources of gardening information. CSU Extension has many publications, some of which are free while others have an associated fee. Extension also has a Master Gardener program. This is coordinated by Susan Rose at the Grand Junction Extension office. The Delta office is located at 525 Dodge Street.
The Master Gardener program consists of a network of individuals who have had extensive training in a special course. Their training continues as they learn more through continuing education workshops, special training sessions and on the job experience gained through addressing problems brought to them by people such as you.
You can contact the Delta CSU Extension office Monday through Friday at 874-2195 or bring pictures or plant specimens in for us to look at. We try to have someone manning the Master Gardener's desk each day.
We also have a diagnostic team that meets on Wednesday mornings. This group is made up of individuals that often have different knowledge strengths to bring to the table. We have a high level of success in diagnosing plant questions. My own specialty is insects since that was what I addressed during my 30 year career. Others are really good at plant identification, diseases, vegetables; well you get the idea.
Extension also opened an office this year at the Maloney House at the Hotchkiss fairgrounds, south of Heritage Hall. They are open for Master Gardener business on Tuesday from 1-3 pm. Any unresolved plant samples are taken to the Delta diagnostic team the next day.
There is one thing to remember when talking to a Master Gardener. We are only as good as our training, experience level, and most importantly, our ability to network with others via the computer, reference books and other individuals that may have better expertise to answer your question.
So far I have outlined what you can get through Master Gardener's that is free. If you need a yard visit, that will cost $25. These funds are used to provide scholarships for Master Gardeners to get additional training. A yard visit may be necessary to fully understand the problem and solutions to correct the problem.
Last but not least, the Cedaredge Tree Board does offer a Sick Tree Day in which we visit your yard to view your tree problems and make recommendations. This is a once-per-year service provided for free on a first come first served basis. Sign-up will begin in late June or early July for the July 14 visits. We can handle about 20-25 in a day and we always fill up.
The tree board is also going to host a booth on Saturday at AppleFest this year. It will be at the town hall. We will have Master Gardeners there to assist tree board members so that we can answer all gardening questions and not just ones pertaining to trees. We are also planning on a drawing for one of three very useful gardening reference books, ones that we use all the time.
So mark your calendar and come see us in October at AppleFest, or sign up for Sick Tree Day in July in Cedaredge. If you have more pressing problems, we are here for you at the Master Gardener's desk in both Delta and Hotchkiss. We can help you. All you need to do is ask.
Jim Leser retired to Cedaredge after a career with Texas A&M University Extension in entomology. He is a member of the Cedaredge Tree Board and a master gardener.

Well it's that time of the year, and one of my favorite times too. Like I said in the what's you favorite part thread, there's too much for me to narrow things down to just one item. One of them being ghost stories. So since it is October, I thought I'd try making a thread for Halloween and folks could share some ghost stories that are related to the war. They can be from things you've read, things you've seen, things you've heard from others, or even your own experince. For my part I'd like to start off with an old NC legend. When I was a kid we used to move a lot as my dad's job changed often, and one of the places we lived was NC. Our first family vaction was to the Outer Banks and one of my sisters picked up the book North Carolina Legends as a souviner. One of the stories in it is called The Evil Hunter of Purgatory Mountain and it's this one I'd like to share at this time. The story goes that Quakers had settled in Radolph County and when the war broke out they wanted no part in the Confederate Army. In 1864, with the Confederacy in need of soldiers, a recruiter known simply as the Hunter was sent to the area to round up new recruits. Any recruits he could get his hands on, whether they were willing or not. So the Hunter rounded up twenty-one healthy young Quaker boys, 14 and under, tied thm up and took them to Willmington. In Willmington the boys managed to escape and returned home only to find the man still there. Fearing capture, the boys hid out on Purgatory Mountain where they observed the habits of the evil Hunter. Even though they were Quakers, they knew this man had to be eliminated, so three of the older boys were selected for the task. They killed him one morning as he was checking his fishing traps on Richland Creek. Following that day none spoke the names of the three selected to kill the man and as they grew up they all steered clear of the mountain as the ghost of the Hunter haunted Purgatory Mountain searching for his killers. According to the story he's still there. No idea how true the story is, it is after all a legend. The North Carolina Zoo is located atop Purgatory Mountain and I visited it several times while we lived there. Never once did I experince anything of a supernatural nature there. But maybe the Hunter haunts a different part of the mountain. |

Ok, this second story comes from Chistopher Coleman's Ghosts and Haunts of the Civil War. Mr. Coleman records the story of a class fieldtrip to Antietam by the 7th class of a Mr. OBrien of Baltimore's McDonogh School. Prior to lunch the students learned the parade drill and the manual of arms, they also saw demonstrations of loading and firing muskets as well as the details of the life of the average soldier. After lunch they toured the battlefield to learn the history of the battle. Towards dusk they had to visit the Bloody Lane where they were given time to consider everything they'd seen that day. Then as they returned to the bus Mr. O'Brien instructed them to write an essay about what they'd learned and what impressed them the most about the battlefield. Many wrote about hearing chanting, others about hearing Christmas carols in a foreign language. Now Mr. O'Brien didn't give the boys time to talk with each other so they weren't able to come up with a practical joke. And all those who wrote about the caroling said they heard it at the Bloody Lane. When questioned as to the caroling it turned out it was between the Anderson Cannon Monument and the War Department Observation Tower. And that it sounded like the Chorus to Deck the Halls. There was no one but the class in that area on that day and what the class didn't know was the battle cry of the NY 69th was Faugh a Ballagh, a Gaelic battle cry. Pronounced Fa-a-bah-lah. But to the kids it sounded like Fa-la-la-lah. |

This next one also comes from Ghosts and Haunts of the Civil War and deals with a location established after the war. Creston, Iowa was established in 1868 as as a survey camp for workers of the B&M railroad. Following the both the war and the founding to the town many settlers from back east came to settle in some of the newer districts on the east side of town. Because so many in this part of town were Democrats, who during the war the Republicans had labeled as being either disloyal or as having secessionist views, or both, this part of Creston jokingly came to be called Confederate Hill. Another reason for the name appears to have come from the number of people from the South who settled there, some of whom may have been Confederate veterans. The story goes that a citizen from the Republican part of town known as Mr. Jones was walking home one evening and as he was passing by Confederate Hill he heard a voice shout "Halt! Who goes there?" Mr. Jones was then confronted with an apparition dressed in a rotting butternut uniform, the figure smelling of decay and mold and being more skeletal than flesh. It carried a rusted musket, which it pointed at Jones and cocked. Mr. Jones shouted for the aparition not to fire at which point it let out a mocking laugh before vanishing. Jones ran back to the Summit House, a popular watering hole for the men of Creston, where he told everyone what he'd just seen. Natrualy folks thought he'd drunk a wee bit too much (and he probably had) and mocked him for his story. Undoubtedly quite a few must have called him coward and yellow-bellied because he challenged all present to return to the spot with him. Well seeing a chance to humilate their friend a bit more, the men at the saloon followed him back to the hill, hiding in a ravine near where he had seen the phantom. By now the moon had risen, better illuminating the seen. And in it's glow the men saw the apparition Mr. Jones had described, an aparition clearly on sentry duty as it paced back and forth at a distance of fifty yards. Now nervous, and sobered by the sight, the men crept forward until they were within a hundred feet of the phantom. At which point it challenged them as it had Mr. Jones. One of the men responded that they were friends of the Cause. All agreed that at this point the spectre let out a demented laugh, but what t said next they couldn't agree on. Some said it asked "What Cause?" while others inststed it hysterically laughed that the Cause was lost. Either way all agreed that when it finished speaking it let out the Rebel yell before slowly vanishing from sight. Last edited on Thu Oct 28th, 2010 03:19 am by Hellcat |

One of the better known ghost stories related to the war is perhaps that of one of the better known trains from the war. A train which carried at least twenty-nine members of the Volunteer Reseve Corps and was pulled by several different engines through over four hundred towns and cities. And the most important passenger aboard the train had been dead for days before it began it's one and only journey. It is the Lincoln Funeral Train. I've seen various stories on the phantom funeral train and have one in Coleman's Ghosts and Haunts of the Civil War and one in Nancy Roberts' Civil War Ghost Stories and Legends. The basic story of the funeral train is that it appears, either as a locomotive hauling several cars draped in black or as a locomotive hauling a single flat car with Lincoln's casket atop it, at night; usually around midnight. The phantom train follows the 1865 funeral train and if there are still any tracks on that path, the air around the tracks goes cold while just a few feet to either side it can be a warm night. All this happens in April, at the anniversary of the journey back to Springfield for burial. Many claim that clocks and watches anywhere near it's passing stop. In Civil War Ghost Stories and Legends Roberts relates the story of Doctor Carter Strothers who lived near Albany, NY. During the last week of April, on the night of his 30th annivarsary in fact, Dr. Strothers found himself not with his wife but thirty minutes away making a house call. A mother had contacted him about her sick daughter, and something in her voice had caused him to visit rather than suggest they try to see him in the morning. On examining the little girl he discovered she had a temp of 105 brought on by a case of pneumonia. The good doctor treated the little girl until her fever broke. It was then that he packed up and made to return home. It was around 10:30 when he came to the tracks. Naturally he stopped for he could hear a train coming, and could see it too. But it was coming on slowly, perhaps no more than twenty miles an hour. More surprising to him was the sound of a train's bell, he hadn't heard one in years. Pulling a little closer, he rolled the window down to get a better look. Doing so allowed him to hear a couple of near by railroad men discussing the approaching train. One mentioned that the locomotive looked like the Union, the other mentioned the train looked like something out of a book. Dr. strothers merely watched the train go by at it's slow pace. The locomotive was draped in black and had logs for refueling the fire behind the cab. The brass fittings on the eight or nine cars gleamed silver in the moonlight. In the second to last car men clad in blue stood around a casket. It was at this time that the doctor realized how quite everything was. The train made no more noise than what he'd already heard, not even the clack clack clck of the wheels over the rails. As soon as the last car passed he took a look at his watch and was shocked to see it had stopped. Years later the doctor read an article in the Albany Evening Times which explained what he had seen. According to the article, late at night in the last week of April the Union, one of the locomotives to haul the Licoln Funeral Train, returns pulling nine cars. The phantom train causes clocks and watches to stop and if a real train passes by at that time it's noise is hushed by the phantom. Coleman relates the tale told to him by his father, who in turn had heard it from his father, Augustus W. "Pop Gus" Coleman, who had been an engineer in the Hudson River Valley and upstate NY. Pop Gus had himself apparently seen the trian which Coleman describes as appearing on the old right of way in upstate NY. It's an old steam locomotive with a flared funnel pulling passenger cars draped in black crepe and then the funneral car itself. A military band can be seen playing their instruments, but no sound reaches those who see them. If one looks closer the band members are all skeletons. According to Coleman the sight of the phantom funeral train only lasts for a few moments. But time seems to stand still as it passes. Coleman also seems to suggest that the rails need not still be there, the phantom merely follows the old right of way. Farmers whose fields the right of way now runs through avoid that part of the fields at night. And it's not just a NY phenomana. Coleman reports that there have been sightings in Ohio, Indiana, and elsewhere along the route of the Lincoln Funeral Train. |

This one's a little different from the last three presented. It comes from Strange Tales of the Civil War by Michael Sanders. The story goes that Sergeant Major George Polley of the 10th Massachusetts Infantry sate down with the top of a cracker box and carved away at it. Every now and then he'd stop to admire his own work then with a chuckle gor right back to carving. It was the 20th of June, 1864, three years since the regiment had been mustered into the army. And the men of the 10th had a reason to be excited. The night before they'd been pulled from the Oetersburg trenches and now most of the regiment was going home, their three year enlistment up. Sergeant Major Polley and a few others had reenlisted in order to see the war through to the end and would soon be joining the 37th Mass. Polley was already scheduled to recieve a promotion to 2nd Lieutenant in the 37th. The 10th was stationed near the Jordan House on their last day, the former Confederate Battery #6, having been one of a seires of battiers on the Dimmock Line captured on June 15th. And it was here that Polley finished his carving. The Sergeant Major showed first to his commanding officer, Colonel Joseph Parsons, then to Lieutenant Elisha Hont Rhodes of the 2nd Rhode Island. It was nothing less than Polley's tombstone, complete with everything but the date of death. Now Polley was still a young man so it seemed odd that he'd be expecting to die soon. Of course for a soldier on the front lines age was far from a defense against death. Still Lt. Rhodes asked if Polley expected to die soon. The reply was that it was only in jest. As this was happening a scofflding was being erected for the execution of William Johnson of the 23rd US Colored Troops. He'd been sentenced to hang for attempting to "outrage the person of a young lady at New-Kent Courthouse." This was to be a very public execution in full view of the Confederate lines. It may well have been a response to articles from Southern papers which proclaimed Northern soldiers to be nothing but murderous, raping savages. It may have also been meant to send a message to the contraband flowing into the Federal lines in the hopes of reducing their numbers in federal camps. Just prior to the execution a Federal battery to the north of this position opened up on the Confederate defenses. Naturally the Confederates returned fire and an artillery duel began. And during the duel Brigadier General Marsena Patrick ordered the troops who were to witness the execution behind a hill for protection against the shelling. At around 9:30 Johnson was carried by wagon to the scaffolding where a chaplain read him the final rights. Soon Johnson's execution was carried out and soon after the artillery duel ceased. But the General's orders had not saved all the witnesses. For lying on the ground gasping for breath, the victim of a direct artillery shell to the abdomen, lay Sergeant Major Polley. He died a short time after carving his own tombstone and would be buried in the City Point National Cemetery before the 10th left for the federal capitol. And his tombstone became one of stone and not the one he carved. For the one he carved became firewood for the coffee. Last edited on Fri Oct 29th, 2010 04:05 am by Hellcat |

In the superstitions of the British Isles there is there belief in the Black Dog, an ennormous dog with glowing eyes. To see the dog is an ill omen as it means you'll die next. In Ghosts and Haunts of the Civil War Mr. Coleman reveals that among the folks of Celtic descent there was also a Black Boar of Doom whose sighting meant the same thing. Apparently during the war there were reports from several Confederate regiments in the Western theater about just such a thing. One regiment in particular, a cavalry unit operating in southeaster Missouri, claimed they were haunted by a Black Boar of Doom. Whenever a cavalry trooper saw it the men of the unit knew he was going to die within the next seven days. Usually in action or as the result of a recent action. It was described as being monsterous in appearance; a huge boar, black as night with burning coals for eyes. Naturally there's always folks who don't believe in ghosts and who mock those who do. One trooper saw the Black Boar of Doom and mocked his fellow troopers. To him it was nothing more than an over grown, black razorback. And shortly after his seeing the beast the unit was involved in a major battle. The trooper came through th battle unscathed, something that he had to brag about to his friends because he'd seen the beast and come through the battle unharmed. Obviously there was no such thing if he could survive such a battle when all said the beast spelled his doom. Or was there? The following evening he and his friends were going over some captured weapons they'd taken in the battle, inspecting them. One of the men had captured a self-cocking, double-action revolver of a new make and model. The man wasn't familar with it's workings and so accidentally discharged the weapon. The bullet struck the skeptic in the head, a kill shot. All within seven days of the man seeing the Black Boar of Doom. |

How about a little bit of murder and house haunting. This next one comes from John Alexander's Ghosts: Washington's Most Famous Ghost Stories. During the fighting outside of the nation's capitol three soldiers became seperated from their unit during a skirmish across the District line in Maryland. Mr. Alexander doesn't say whether they were federal or Confederate, only that they decided to wait until morning to try and find their unit and were welcomed into a local house. But the welcome was far from the warm hospitality the men believed they were recieving for their host merely used it as a trap to lure the men to their death. You see, the man held different political views than those the soldiers were fighting for and saw this as a chance to act on those views. As they slept, he bludgeoned the soldiers to death. Once the deed was done, the man was able to dispose of the bodies and the three soldiers were merely written off as casualties of the fighting going on. Naturally the man wasn't brought to trial for murder. But though he disposed on their bodies, he wasn't able to dispose of the bloodstains on the floor of the room where he murdered the men. Hard scrubbing was useless, the stains remained. Tell-tale spots of his crime. He kept a rug over the spots so anyone visiting didn't see them and ask too many questions. Eventually his time in the home came to an end, whether through his own death or through his moving away. The house was owned there after by several different owners over the next few decades, none of whom knew what the stains were or how they came to be. But many, if not all, agreed that strange things happened in that room, things that brought into question what could have happened to cause such stains. According to a reporter, at least one of the owners tried getting rid of the stains by simply painting over them. But as with all stories of ghostly blood stains, there was no simple way to permanently get rid of them. The stains bled through the paint. Just as with other tales of ghostly blood stains that always return to mark the spot of a murder, even if washed away, the stains remained a tell-tale sign that returned no matter what. Others told of being unable to close the oak door into the room and keep it closed. They'd close and bolt the door. But as soon as they turned away from it the sound of it unbolting, followed by the door creaking open, could be heard. WAs it the three soldiers returning to keep watch on the room where they had died? And were these soldiers the only one's to die because of their host. According to Alexander, some folks believed that one of the owners of the house died because of it and the ghosts within. He reveals that in the '20s there was a newspaper report that one of the owners was sitting in the room where the murders occured when the French doors out to the balcony were suddenly ripped from their hinges only to land on the ground without breaking. Neghibors said the owner was found in a state of shock from which he never recovered. He died a few days later. And according to one version of this story, the neighbors discovered he had the same last name as the owner who had lived in the house during the war. The owner who had murdered the soldiers. Were they trying to extract revenge frombeyond the grave on their murder only to get the wrong man? |

Did John C. Calhoun know the South was going to secede in the 1860s. Certainly he was a supporter of states right and a man whose rhetoric could be said to have been admired in the South. But did he know that ten years after his death the Southern states would start to secede? According to Ghosts: Washington's Most Famous Ghost Stories he might have known what was to come. Mr. Alexander tells us that not long before he died Calhoun was visited in his apartment in the Old Brick Capitol by the ghost of George Washington. Washington warned Calhoun of the coming secession of the Southern states. It was with this knowledge that Calhoun was able to predict the South seceding. As a side note, Alexander also relates that there were tales that Calhoun's spirit continued to roam the Old Brick Capitol well into the Civil War. Several of these tales tell who his spirit became restless after the building was turned into a prison for Confederate prisoners. Perhaps he was concerned with how his fellow Southerners were being treated even after death. Or perhaps he did't agree with his one time home becoming a prison. However, Christopher Coleman in Ghosts and Haunts of the Civil War and Michael Sanders in Strange Tales of the Civil War tell a different story. They tell of a dream Calhoun had. In the dream, Calhoun had been up late at night engrossed in his work when a man had entered his room. The stranger, wearing a weather-worn, dark blue thin cloak that concealed their features took a seat across from Calhoun. Before he could say anything the stranger asked him what he was writing, addressing him simply as senator from South Carolina. Surprised, as he had left instructions with his servant that he was not to be disturbed, Calhoun explained he was writing a plan for the dissolution of the American Union. At this the stranger asked to see Calhoun's right hand. He stood up, his cloak parting to reveal the uniform of the Continental Army. And the face was that of General Washington himself. Washington held Calhoun's hand, as if examining it. As he did so, Calhoun felt the hand tingle. The former president then asked if that was the hand Senator Calhoun would use to sign the dissolution of the nation. The reply was that if certain things came to pass it was. At this a black mark appeared on Calhoun's hand. Washington dropped the hand, explaining that the mark was the mark with which Benedict Arnold was known in the afterlife. He then pulled a skeleton from under his cloak, explaining they were the bones of Issac Hayne of South Carolina. A Patriot who had been hung by the British in Charleston while trying to establish the Union. If Calhoun was going to dissolve the Union, he might as well have the bones of a fellow South Carolinian before him. One who had not been marked by the black spot. Had Washington visited Calhoun not to warn him of what was to come but to threaten him with the fate of Benedict Arnold? Could his restlessnes in the Old Brick Capitol been due to his spirit being imprisoned there after death? Or was this just a story. According to Sanders, the story had appeared in the Evening Post during the Nullification Crisis. Doesn't mean it actually happened, but it does suggest it wasn't something created in the 20th century. Or even more recently. Last edited on Mon Oct 28th, 2013 12:23 am by Hellcat |

Well here it's after 12 AM on October 31st as I type this. Halloween. So things are winding doing and I'll soon stop posting more of these stories. For those who are getting annoyed with my posting them, I appologize and ask you to be patient with me. For anyone else, I hope you'll have enjoyed reading these. I'll post a few more before the clock strikes midnight again and then that's it for this year, probably for quite a while to come as I've not got very many sources. I'd hoped others would have had some to share, but I'm not going to complain as folks seem to have been patient with me to this point. This one comes from Strange Tales of the Civil War. Mr Sanders tells us of the wife of Sergeant Charles Stevenson of Company G, 108th NY Infantry. The 108th NY Infantry had been mustered in in August 1862 when Sergeant Stevenson was 23. Their first action was at Antietam. At some time on December 13th Mrs. Stevenson was working in her yard back home in Henrietta, NY. Being the late fall, it could well have been she was bringing firewood or shoveling a walk way. But as she worked she felt a presnce behind her. She turned to see who it was, feeling a warm breath on her cheek as she did so, and to her surprise saw her husband standing there. Surprised, and possibly delighted, she called out his name. Asking if it really was him. But before her eyes the image vanished. For Sergeant Stevenson had been among those to perish in front of the stonewall at Fredericksburg. Checking the 108th NY's Roster (page 128 of this PDF http://dmna.state.ny.us/historic/reghist/civil/rosters/Infantry/108th_Infantry_CW_Roster.pdf), Sergeant Stevenson did indeed die at Fredericksburg. So was this a case of a last goodbye to one held so dear? |

From Ghosts and Haunts of the Civil War and Strange Tales of the Civil War comes this next story. Anyone studying Lincoln during the war is bound to come across the stories of Lincoln having dreams of his own death at the hands of an assassin. They may also come across storyies of a bizarre incident Lincoln had following his first election. As Lincoln had told a reporter, the excitment of the election had left Lincoln exhausted and he retired to his home to rest. Across from the lounge chair in his chambers where he had seated himself was a bureau with a swinging mirror attached. Glancing into the mirror he saw himself reflected nearly full length. But his face, there seemed to be two images of his face . Each staring into the other. Bothered, he got up to examine the reflection. But in doing so the bizarre reflection vanished. Taking his seat agin, the image returned, this time more distinct. One of the images was paler than the other. According to Lincoln, it was perhaps five shades paler. Again he got up to examine it and again the reflection faded. Believing it was merely the excitment of the election getting to him, Lincoln paid it little heed. But the image stayed with him, and a few days later he tried experimenting with it. Once again the double image appear. One appearing his normal, healthy self. And the other as if of the grave. He told Mary Todd of the image, in fact he tried to tell her. Though he made light of the double image, it more frightened her. Mary Todd Lincoln said the image predicted he would be elected to a second term but would die before he left office. |

This comes from Ghosts abd Haunts of the Civil War. Before the war, on Cedar Lane, Montgomery House was one of the mansions on the outskirts of Nashville. It had originally belonged to Mrs. Alexander Montgomery. She was a devout Confederate, so devout that when others left Nashville ahead of the approaching Federal army she was among the few who choose to stay. According to at least one Confederate vet, she didn't just stay when the North occupied the city, she remained long after her death. One day a soldier from the provost marshal's office with orders that Mrs. Montgomery was to vacate her home within the next twenty-four hours. It was the desire of the military governor that Montgomery House was to be turned into a hospital. Being a devout Confederate, rather than merely turn the house over as ordered she determined no to give it to the enemy. Rather, she'd burn the place down before they could have it. But first she stripped the house of all silver and other valuables, which were then buried in the rose garden of Montgomery House. Once her mission to destroy her home was accomplished, she set free her slaves and set out along the Natchez Trace. This was to prove the end of Mrs. Montgomery for as she was crossing no-man's land she found herself caught in the middle of a brief skirmish. Now how many know the story of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. Of how the Hessian trooper whose head was carried away by a cannonball in some unnamed battle. You guessed it, this was Mrs. Montgomery's fate. Local legend said that Mrs. Mongomery returned to the burned out shell of Mongomery house, a headless phantom of Ceadr Lane who those passingby would see wandering the grounds. Some said she was there to protect her treasure. And perhaps she was. For you see, many years after the war some folks decided to find out if their was any through to the legend. They crept out one night with shovels and slowly made their way to the ruins of the once magnificent house. Keeping an eye out for the phantom, they began digging in the now over grown rose garden. After a while they struck something in the dark. Holding up their lanterns to better see, they discovered a cache of silver and other treasures that had once belonged to Mrs. Montgomery. Most they sold for cash, but a few pieces they kept so as to verify that at least the buried treasure part of the story was true. And what of the headless phantom? Legend says that once it was claimed by locals, and not by anyone from the North, Mrs. Mongomery was freed from this earthly coil to move on to the next realm.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN This shall be the last one I post and comes from Ghosts and Haunts of the Civil War and Civil War Ghosts & Legends. It takes place during the Battle of Gettysburg. Now we all know of what happened on July 2nd at Little Round Top But the story goes that the offical reports of the fighting that day may have left something out. After the battle reports came in that at the crucial point in the battle for Little Round Top an apparition appeared to the men of the 20th Maine. Many said they saw a pale rider dressed in an atiquated uniform appear from nowhere in their midst. The figure rode along the federal line and all who saw it suddenly felt their morale go up. It's said that at least a number of the Confederates saw this figure, dressed in blue, as well for they opened fire on the figure, to no avail. The phantom turned to them and those Confederates who beheld it are said to have felt a sense of panick. At this point the 20th Maine charged. We know the results of the charge. And Chamberlain had difficulty restraining his men from carrying on the chase. Many of the men claimed it was George Washington who had appeared to lead them to victory. Preposterous? Perhaps, but at the time the War Department actually did consider the possibility as Stanton dispatched Colonel Pittenger to investigate these reports. He gathered a number of eyewitness accounts, including a report from General O.O. Howard, but his report was never officially published. According to Mrs. Roberts, this wasn't the only time the 20th Maine may have encountered the spirit of George Washington during the Gettysburg campaign. As they were marching to Gettysburg the regiment reached a fork in the road during the night. They had been on a road that had had many spurs leading off and had as yet had little trouble finding their way. But here they came to a stop, knowing this fork must be important and not wanting to take the wrong fork the officers of the 20th Maine gathered to discuss which to take. It was already night, which may explain why the decision was so important. As the officer discused which to take, the clouds parted revealing a horseman wearing a bright coat and a tricorn hat riding a pale horse. The horseman waved them to follow. Chamberlain would later report that a staff officer went to each of the colonels, telling them that McClellan was again in command and that it was he who was leading them down the right road. But though the men had be excited at the prospect of McClellan leading them again, his name soon began to fade from there lips. Up and down the line the cry went up that the horseman was Washington, come back to lead them. Already energized by McClellan's name, the men became even more excited, willingly following the apparition to their next battle. So was it really Washington returned to help preserve the Union or was this just a story that arose after the war to suggest that one of the best known figures from the nations past was still watching over it? It seems a little strange that George Washington would not have sided with the South, but the men suggested he sought to protect the nation he helped to create. Of course we do have the story of Calhoun's dream of Washington appearently threatening him with a black spot should he sign the paper that would disolve the Federal Union. And we also have a vision from Washington himself in which he claimed to have seen the "thundering of the cannon, clashing of swords and the shouts and cries of hundreds of thousands in mortal combat." This vision has been interperted as Washington predicting the Civil War. A few have gone as far as to say it's not just the Civil War, but the Battle of Gettysburg itself. Could any of this be true? Who really knows. Well, again I thank you for being patient with me as I posted all these little stories for Halloween. For those interested in reading the actual stories, and others like them, I got all of these from:

I've always been interested in the Chickamauga hauntings. The Indians always called it the River of Death due to bad things happening there. They reported seeing "Old Green Eyes" back before the battle was fought. From what I've read in the past the Civil War soldiers at the time reported seeing it on the evening of the battle. They said it moved amongst the dead and dying. There is also supposed to be unexplained things as marching or volley fire sounds. A woman in white is supposed to be roaming the battlefield looking for her dead husband. I read people describing driving through the battlefield late at night and having a overwhelming sense of sadness. Whether its true or not it makes for good entertainment. |

Old Green Eyes was supposedly seen by the troops during the night of the battle hovering over the dead and dying. The Indians thought it was a hairy beast with green eyes that scared the hell out of them. Another story is that it is a Confederate soldier who had his head blown off from his body. So he wonders the battlefield looking for his missing body parts. |

That second explination sounds a little like a certain galloping Hessian. But something I don't get is why the second explination exists if the Native Americans were supposed to have seen Old Green Eyes before the battle was even fought there. Still it is a good Halloween story. |

I don't think people knew about the Indian story until the dead Confederate story took root. Civil War soldiers supposedly seeing it hover over the dead and dying makes for a good scary story. Last edited on Sat Oct 20th, 2012 12:50 pm by BHR62 |

Guess that makes sense. I mentioned already that the war really helped make ghost stories a part og the modern Halloween traditions. It's not that they weren't a part of Halloween traditions before, but that the number told at Halloween seemed to skyrocket following the war. Which when you look at what was happening then it makes sense this would happen. Really need to look and see what I have to add that I did post back in 2010. Plus I've gotten a few books since then. |

Q. If you have trouble getting to sleep, or staying asleep, can exercise be a solution?
A. Exercise is a perfect solution. Exercising regularly can help people fall asleep faster and give them a better night's sleep.
Q. If so, why is that?
A. Late evening workouts can de-stress us and help us turn off our brain after a day of stimulation. Exercising at night can make us more relaxed and tired facilitating a better night's sleep.
Q. You offer late night exercising at Parcfitness … why is this?
A. Having the flexibility to go to our Rose Bay club at anytime gives our members the flexibility of working out when it is convenient for them. Some of our members work crazy hours such as nurses & flight attendants, so it is important for them to be able to go to the gym after they finish their shift, even if it is at 3am!
If you train late at night at our club, you have the whole place to yourself and you can take as long as you want with the equipment, so people feel comfortable training in that environment. It is like having your own private gym.
Q. Have you found that many of your clients have sleep issues? If so, what has been their feedback re the effectiveness of working out at night?
A. Yes, there a lot of people these days who suffer from sleep issues, mainly because of stress. There are a lot of sleeping medicines out there, such as herbal teas and pills that advertise that they help people sleep, but they all have the tendency to make the person an addict. If you want a permanent solution to insomnia or sleep issues, exercise
Our clients who train late at night are not morning people, so a 5k jog at 6 a.m. is just not going to happen. They find they are more committed to their exercise regime because their bodies have more energy late at nights than early in the mornings. They find that late evenings do not have the same level of distractions or disruptions as other times of the day.
Also, most peoples lifestyle these days do not allow for a midday workout. So exercising in the late evening is the only time to squeeze in a sweat session.
Q. What are the best late-night exercises to do in order to enhance sleep?
A. In order to get the maximum benefit from sleep and exercise, aim for some type of cardiovascular exercise at least six days a week, such as:
- Jogging
- Weights
- Kickboxing
- Riding a bike
- Walking.
Strength training is important for building muscle, increasing bone density and raising metabolism. Incorporate some light weight lifting into exercise programs to get the most benefit from the time spent exercising.
Another exercise to sleep better involves stretching to relieve stiffness and tension. Yoga classes and physical therapists teach stretching techniques. Slow, gentle stretches at bedtime might also improve sleep and increase relaxation
Q. Any other fitness advice for poor sleepers?
A. Finish eating two hours before you lie down. If your stomach is full or you're digesting a big meal, it's hard to fall asleep. Not to mention, lying down with a full belly can also lead to heartburn, which will definitely keep you up.
Don't drink alcohol before bed, as it leads to reduced sleep efficiency , or less quality sleep.
Finally, stay away from caffeine in the evening. Try a hot milky or herbal drink instead. Other ways you can relax before bed include having a warm bath or listening to some quiet music.

PhotoNOLA is an annual festival of photography in New Orleans, coordinated by the New Orleans Photo Alliance in partnership with galleries, museums and photographers citywide.
M+B is pleased to announce Matthew Brandt: Velvet and Bubble Wrap, the artist's second solo exhibition at the gallery featuring new work that explores Hollywood as both a construct and a landscape. The exhibition runs from December 14, 2013 through January 18, 2014, with an opening reception for the artist on Saturday, December 14 from 6 to 8 pm.
As photography becomes increasingly more competitive and saturated, we need to be creative when finding ways to fund our personal projects. At ONWARD, they recommend grants from private foundations as a good area to explore. To give you a head start in attempting the grant-seeking process, they recently spoke with Ken Goldman, a professional grant writer at Drexel University.
Check it out here
The three-day event includes a minimum of nine portfolio reviews, inclusion in the Review Santa Fe 100 online resource, an opening reception, a closing reception, as well as an educational photographic seminar to create a vibrant and inspiring weekend to nourish the photographic community and create fertile ground for photographers.
Deadline for entries is January 22, 2014.
Entering photo competitions can be a great way to get your work out there and possibly get shown in a group exhibition. However, there are many galleries that are looking for submissions of new work year round. ONWARD Compe has been hard at work compiling a list of approachable galleries that might be more open to accepting work from emerging photographers.
Photo arts centers are an excellent place to start submitting your work. Many of them have an open deadline and no submission fee, offering the same exposure you'd get in a competition, but allowing you to apply at your leisure.
From November 20 until March 16, the Saatchi Gallery is holding its latest exhibition, aptly titled Body Language. The group show includes a plethora of exclusively figurative pieces from 19 different international artists. You can surmise what the works are about from literalness of the title: how the body can be used to communicate. These are not formal studies as much as explorations of what the body can mean as an object of representation. Body Language, both the show and its namesake, remind us that some things can only be communicated through a language without speech.
James Welling operates in the hybrid ground between painting, sculpture, and traditional photography. For over 40 years he has explored issues of presentation and abstraction in his work, and is equally esteemed by critics, artists, and collectors as a central figure of international contemporary photography. The exhibition Autograph presents Welling's documentary-style photographs in the tradition of classical art photography. In addition, the exhibition showcases Welling's abstract photograms. Welling's methods range from analogue techniques to digital technologies, in color and black-and-white, both with and without a camera. Fascinated by the possibilities the medium, James Welling has followed the fundamental transformation of photography into the present day.
The 2014 Grant for Outstanding Personal Photography Project is open for submissions from photographers self-publishing on fotovisura.com. New members are welcome to submit. The Grant aims to support personal photography projects and encourage the production and development of photography outside of the commercial realm. The Grant recognizes photographers as judged by their images, story, as well as the dedication and commitment of the photographer to the story or concept. The application period will end 12:00 p.m. January 10, 2014.

Our friend Margaret Grisdela is President of her own unique advertising agency, Legal Expert Connections, Inc., which specializes in marketing and business development for attorneys and law firms. She helps clients with online ads, brochure designs, and social media. (Yes! Lawyers tweet and write on walls, too!) We asked Margaret to shed some light on the world of legal marketing.
Q: Are there any restrictions for lawyers in their marketing?
Attorney advertising was actually illegal until 1977, when the Supreme Court ruled, in Bates v. The State Bar of Arizona, that attorneys could advertise their services. Attorneys are strictly regulated by their respective state bar associations. The Florida Bar is known to be one of the strictest in the country and requires that many ads be filed with the Bar for approval prior to or simultaneous with usage depending on the type of promotion.
Q: Are lawyers permitted to use testimonials?
It varies by state. Interestingly enough, an attorney can give a testimonial for another company (like a florist or accountant) and that is not subject to any restrictions.
Q: Do you find it difficult to market in an industry that some perceive negatively?
Not really. Legal marketing is similar to other industries in that you need to start with a goal, a clear message, a well-defined target audience, and the ability to measure results. Marketing is a process, not an event, so a lawyer should never stop marketing.
Q: How important is self-marketing to lawyers?
It's essential! Attorneys who can't build their own books of business are finding that they may be out of a job. My legal marketing book, Courting Your Clients, identifies the key steps attorneys need to take to get more business from current clients while attracting qualified new prospects.
Q: Do you ever recommend that lawyers "demarket" unqualified prospects?
Attorneys should not take every client that comes their way, and they have the right to refuse to offer services within ethical guidelines. On a related note, I always advise lawyers to fire their worst clients (also within ethical guidelines). Not every client is a good client!
Lawyers are heavy users of Facebook and that seemed out of character, so we asked:
Q: Tell us a bit about social media marketing for lawyers.
I call LinkedIn the safe form of social media, because it is easy to use and there are no expectations as to how often you need to participate. Since so many business people are on LinkedIn, the adoption rate for attorneys has been quite strong. Many attorneys are also on Twitter, Facebook or blogging, but in smaller percentages.
Q: What role do social media play in legal marketing now? And how has that changed?
Attorneys who market to consumers, like divorce attorneys or personal injury lawyers, have been early adopters of social media and all forms of Internet marketing. On Google AdWords, for example, the most popular legal keywords can go for $50-$70 per click! Sophisticated uses of social media include the use of videos, webinars, and online databases like SalesForce to attract qualified leads, capture the prospect's contact info, and accelerate the sales process.
Q: What is the best way for lawyers to self-market in social media?
I advise clients to start with a blog and keep it up-to-date. They can then use their blog to automatically publish posts to LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook using a service like HootSuite.

There's a certain '60s Palm Springs flair to the Multi Tassel Necklace, which features five bundles of leather fringe on a gold-toned chain. A leather strap finishes off the look, which is perfectly paired with a floaty chiffon blouse or even a plain tank.
Total chain length, including leather strap, is 28". Leather strap is 3/8" wide. Chain is gold-toned plated brass.

(AP) -- WHEATON, Mo. (AP) -- The company that manages a southwest Missouri apartment building where five people died in a Thanksgiving Day fire had disabled the manual fire alarms in the building about 10 years ago.
Rick Schroeder, president of Bell Management, of Joplin, which oversees Blue Ridge Apartments in Wheaton, said the five manual fire alarms pulls in the building haven't operated for 10 years.
Officials have said that the apartments each had working smoke detectors when the five people were killed in the early morning blaze. Four adults and an 8-year-old boy died in the fire.
Schroeder says the tenants were told the manual alarms didn't work. He also told The Springfield News-Leader that they were disabled because people kept pulling them in the middle of the night.
