Loading... When My Name Was Keoko (2002)by Linda Sue Park
Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. I liked the book and appreciate Park purpose for writing. Park teaches her reader about the cruel treatment and forced lifestyle Koreans faced during the Japanese invasion of Korea. Her use of descriptive language allowed readers to travel back in time and witness the humiliation and loss of dignity Koreans experienced. But, there is always two sides to a story. I wonder how the story would read from the Japanese perspective. This book is all about the Japanese occupation in Korea which was an area of history I knew nothing about before reading this book. I liked that this book taught me about this time in history but in the form of a story. I also liked how each chapter changed perspectives. I think that when reading a story, it is important to consider it from all different points of view and this story did that very well. The main idea of this book is to educate readers about this time in history. It also sends a strong message about the pride people feel about their own culture. "When My Name was Keoko" was an interesting chapter book that discusses life in Korea during World War II. I found this book to be very shocking and always kept me on my toes. The author explains life in Korea during World War II and the relationship between the Japanese and the Koreans. Since Korea is under Japanese rule, the Korean citizens are being forced to learn Japanese and the Japanese are trying to surpress Korean culture by making the practices forbidden. This is an eye-opening text for young readers because this novel displays the effects of war. I feel that because of this, this book is best fitted for mature fifth grade readers and middle school students. One example from the text that I found to be shocking was that the Japanese expected the Koreans to be submissive to their rule and allow them to run their streets. If I was to be in this situation, I would feel outraged because it is my community and our country. Also, the vivid detailed descriptions of the streets after the Japanese invaded Korea are important because they allow the reader to visual the street and the interactions between Japanese soldiers and Korean citizens. Therefore, I feel that this text was a great read that shows it's audience the hardship of the Korean culture as a result of World War II. I like this book for two reasons. First, I enjoyed the changing point of view. At first it was confusing that the chapters kept changing point of view from the brother to the sister. I would automatically start reading the next chapter, thinking it was the same character's point of view. When I realized it had changed, I would have to reread that part of the chapter. So that was frustrating at first, but once I got used to it, it enhanced the story. It was interesting to see the same situation from the point of view of the younger sister and older brother. They both are experiencing similar things, but synthesize and react to it in different ways. The second reason I like this book is because it pushes readers to broaden their world view. Before reading this book, I didn't know much about the Japanese occupation of Korea. It was interesting to learn about the history of that time and to see how the oppressed Korean people felt under the occupation. It pushes readers to think about other cultures; what is important to them and how they react in the face of oppression. The main idea of this book is to show how a family reacts to the war and Japanese occupation of Korea. It shows the personal convictions of the family members, what and who is important to them. It shows the strength and pride they have in their culture, even as it is being outlawed. I really enjoyed this book. I liked that the book was written in two different points of view: Keoko and her brother. This allows the reader to see two different perspectives of the same events. For example, the reader gets to see both Keoko and her brother's interactions and relationships with their uncle. I also liked that the language was descriptive. The author did a good job of creating mental images for the reader. For example, I could clearly picture what it was like for the brother to be in the plane. The main idea of this book is to persevere through adversity. no reviews | add a review

Wikipedia in EnglishNone Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0440419441, Paperback)Inspired by her own family's stories of living in South Korea during the Japanese occupation in the years preceding World War II, Newbery Medal-winning author Linda Sue Park chronicles the compelling story of two siblings, 10-year-old Sun-hee and 13-year-old Tae-yul, and their battle to maintain their identity and dignity during one of Korea's most difficult and turbulent times. In alternating first-person chapters, they relate their family's troubles under the strict fascist regime. The Kim family is stripped of their cultural symbols, only permitted to learn Japanese history and language, and forced to convert their names to Japanese. Sun-hee, now Keoko, struggles to reconcile her Korean home life with her Japanese school and friends, while Tae-yul, now Nobuo, attempts to convert his growing anger into a more positive passion for flight and airplanes. Both are worried for their uncle, whom they discover is printing an underground Korean resistance paper. When Sun-hee inadvertently puts her uncle's life in danger, she sets in motion a chain of events that results in her brother volunteering as a pilot for the Japanese near the end of WWII. While Sun-hee and her parents wait in breathless uncertainty to hear from Tae-yul, the war rushes to a close, leaving Korea's destiny hanging in the balance. This well-researched historical novel is accompanied by a thoughtful author's note that explains what happened to Korea and families like the Kims after WWII and a bibliography to entice interested young readers into learning more about a topic largely unknown to American audiences. (Ages 10 to 14) --Jennifer Hubert(retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:48:36 -0400) With national pride and occasional fear, a brother and sister face the increasingly oppressive occupation of Korea by Japan during World War II, which threatens to suppress Korean culture entirely. |

I remember when I was a kid and my grandfather had a picture of President Reagan hanging in the house. I asked him why he had the picture knowing that he would have never voted for a Republican President and he said because he is my President.
I have already voted for the candidate I feel can move the country in a successful and responsible direction and it felt wonderful. Like a kid at Christmas. We are so lucky to live in a country where we can safely and openly go vote for our choice for President.
So in memory of my grandfather may the winner of tonights election go forward in the next four years with the responsibility and focus to do what's best for the nation not just the group that got them elected. To work with those from the other side of the isle to move this nation forward and not sit idle with divisive gridlock and I am saying this to both political parties.

PageRank Update 2008
Posted by jonathan at 5:40pm EST on 12/31/2008
There is a public PageRank export happening today, with definitive confirmation from Matt Cutts.
But please note, PageRank is updated everyday internally at Google, this is simply the public facing number that is updated. You aren't going to see a massive jump in rankings or a massive decrease in rankings because internally, your PageRank is essentially the same as it was yesterday — in Google's eyes.
Something else of note, Google still does not own PageRank, it simply has a perpetual license for PageRank from Stanford University.

Yeah, it does! I completely switched around X-mas and so far I love Evo. Its been quite stable and has a lot of cool and useful features. That said, I'd like to see the following stuff added: - a column that reports whether any particular email has been forwarded, replied-to, etc. A set of links to all the relies/forwards (some sort of threading) would be very cool... - Ability to read/work with new emails while others are still downloading (ala mozilla) over your crappy 56K connection... :-( - faster parsing of email folders at startup time (perhaps by amortizing/delaying the parsing work) - different handling (or more configurable handling) of deleted files--I like the netscape/mozilla default handling were deleted files are just moved to the trash folder and then I can empty the trash on a, say, monthly basis. That way, I can dig through old emails if, maybe a week later, I want to re-read something. - better scripts for importing mozilla email folders (ok, I should probably write this one this myself as it took a while figure out how to convert all my dozens of sub- folders over to the Evo format...)

At the start of every semester, anyone who ventures into the UMC Book Store can expect to be immediately greeted with chaos as students try frantically to purchase their required texts, trying to find them at the cheapest price possible.
With the economy suffering and students more conscious of finances than ever, some use less traditional measures of obtaining their required books.
"I didn't even look at the price," said Brittany Kloenne, 19, a freshman political science major who was issued a summons for shoplifting this semester. "I know [books] are expensive."
According to CU Police Department daily blotters from Jan. 9 to Feb. 1, 18 violations were cited for shoplifting at the UMC Bookstore.
Kloenne said she had ordered the textbook from Amazon.com but couldn't buy the supplement material online so she tried to steal the bound textbook package from the UMC Bookstore.
The College Textbook Affordability Act passed by the Colorado General Assembly in 2008 aims to help students with the exact wording of: "Students enrolled in a state institution of higher education are entitled to the affordable textbooks and educational products."
The College Textbook Affordability Act states that for bundled textbook packages, the option to buy the textbook and additional products separately must be made.
"I don't like getting ripped off and money is definately an issue," Kloenne said about her motivations behind the attempted theft, "as if tuition is not enough."
Alexander Louden, a sophomore psychology major who was issued a summons this semester at the UMC Book Store for shoplifting, said he believes prices are too high as well.
"$160 for a single book?" Louden said.
Faculty members at CU said they understand how textbook prices hinder students and some say they are trying to ease the cost burden.
Professor Roger Barry, who teaches geography at CU, said he publishes two of the books he wrote in paperback versions.
"I insisted 'Mountain Weather' and 'Climate' be published in paperback," Barry said.
Barry said he has used two of his books as required materials in the classes he teaches. He says this is his only option.
"I think (using my book) is really beneficial," Barry said. "('Atmosphere, Weather and Climate') is the only real textbook on the subject."
Another professor on campus echoed Barry's opinion.
"When I started teaching here, they used a standard textbook and I complained how the subject wasn't covered in the right way," said Nick Schneider, associate professor of Astrophysical and Planetary Sciences at CU.
Schneider said all of his complaining led to a collaboration between himself and three colleagues on a book that became "Cosmic Perspective." This book is used in over 1,000 different courses across the country including CU. New editions are frequently produced in order to account for new discoveries and advances in the field.
This means students can't sell back the old editions.
"Fairness is the real issue," Schneider said. "There has been a lot of finger pointing (about textbook prices) which is partially due to the efficiency of the used book market."
Schneider offers "Cosmic Perspective" in soft cover, with a thicker version for yearlong courses and a smaller one for semester-long courses, and as an e-book. A special online homework grading program also comes with the book.
"Textbooks have gotten more expensive because of online tools, but you can also say they have gotten more valuable," Schneider said.
Schneider said he is often asked whether or not he sells his book at CU just to make money.
"The way I handle that is all the CU book sale royalties are donated to the department," he said.
Schneider said he is also in support of a campus-wide policy that would reflect his personal one.
As students and professors look to the future of book sales and their actions, different perspectives provide insight to CU and the academic world.
"Well, my opinion is that the system isn't perfect," Louden said. "You can save and buy books online, but only if you know for sure the classes you will be taking. If anything happens, it's a lot harder to return a book you've bought online. Plus, if there's reading due the first days of class, or you need to have the book soon for some other reason, the Book Store is your best bet."
"I think this issue is going to die down in a couple of years as students recognize the value," Schneider said.

Spartans improve to 4-0
The Superior High School football team improved to 4-0 for the first time since the 1990 season with a 38-27 win over the River Falls Wildcats Friday night David Smith Stadium at Remer Field on the campus of UW-River Falls.
The Superior High School football team improved to 4-0 for the first time since the Spartans' state championship season in 1990 season with a 38-27 win over the River Falls Wildcats Friday night at UW-River Falls' David Smith Stadium at Remer Field.
The win also keeps the Spartans undefeated in the Big Rivers Conference at 2-0, while River Falls drops to 1-3 and 0-2.
After outscoring their opponents 144-25 in their first three games, the Spartans found themselves in their first tussle of the season, leading just 7-6 after the first quarter and 24-20 at the half.
River Falls held a 214-176 advantage in yards gained in the first half but Superior turned up pressure on defense in the second half, limiting the Wildcats to just 108 yards and a touchdown that game with just 26 seconds remaining. The Spartans also forced five fumbles, recovering three of them, and Alex Dzikonski intercepted a pass.
In the end, Superior outgained River Falls 397-322 in total yards.
The Spartans' defense limited the Wildcats to just three plays on their first three drives of the second half then saw Matt Little recover a fumble on the fourth drive.
Meanwhile, Superior increased its lead to 38-20 with a 63-yard touchdown pass from Nick Mehlum to Jake Libal and Ross Kennelly's 2-yard touchdown run.
Libal added two other touchdowns, a 9-yard run on the first drive of the game, and 25-yard pass from Mehlum.
Mehlum finished 10-of-25 for 222 yards, two touchdowns and his first two interceptions of the season.
The Spartans also got a 33-yard field goal from McKenzie Schwarz and Beau Reder's 38-yard fumble return for a touchdown.
The Spartans took the opening kick and 11 plays and 76 yards later Libal snuck up the middle nine yards for a touchdown. Schwartz's extra-point kick gave Superior a 7-0 lead just 3:49 into the game.
River Falls overcame three penalties on its first drive and made it 7-6 with a 28-yard option pass from running back Jon Krueger to Riley Tschumper. The extra point went wide left with 4:08 left in the opening quarter. The touchdown was the first against the Spartans in the first quarter this season.
Superior's Andrew Roske recovered a Wildcat fumble on River Falls' 31-yard line on the first play of the second quarter.
Six plays later Schwarz kicked a 33-yard field goal to give the Spartans a 10-6 lead.
On the third play of River Falls' next drive, Reder got a hand on an attempted quarterback pitch, the ball bounced into his arms and he returned it for a 38-yard touchdown. Schwarz's kick gave Superior a 17-6 lead with 9:40 left in the second quarter.
River Falls held on to the ball on its next drive and marched 68 yards before quarterback James Witt ran up the middle for a 5-yard touchdown. The Wildcats failed on the two-point conversion attempt leaving the score 17-12 in favor of Superior with 7:15 left in the half.
The Spartans then came up with their best defensive series of the first half, holding River Fall to three negative plays, including sacks by Sam Freeman and Roske and by Willie Stream.
Superior took over at its own 31 with 1:41 remaining in the half but was forced to punt after four plays.
River Falls quickly moved the ball 52 yards and got within 24-20 on Witt's 6-yard touchdown run and Witt's pass on the two-point conversion with 12 seconds left in the half.
After the Spartans forced River Falls to punt after three plays on the first drive of the third quarter, they took a 31-20 lead a play later when Libal caught a pass on a slant pattern from Mehlum and ran untouched for a 64-yard touchdown.
After another three-and-out for River Falls, Superior took a 38-20 lead on Kennelly's 2-yard run and Schwartz's kick. The TD was set up by a 40-yard run by Aaron Wakefield-Zubiate, who limped off the field and never returned to the game.
River Falls completed the scoring on Trey Larson's 16-yard touchdown pass to Paurus with 26 seconds remaining.
The Spartans return home to host Rice Lake in their annual homecoming game at 7 p.m. Friday.
SPARTAN SPIN: Superior was scored on in the first quarter for the first time this season. … Schwarz missed a 32-yard field goal attempt early in the third quarter. … Willie Stream, Morgan Johnson and Roske had 10 tackles apiece for Superior. …. Kennelly, Reder, Stream and Roske forced four of River Falls' five fumbles. Superior recovered three of the, one each by Reder, Little and Roske.

Mission: To strengthen and inspire leaders of the social sector and their partners in business and government.
The Psychology of Entitlement
Woe befalls the endlessly generous givers who never require that rewards be something to be earned. Instead of receiving gratitude and love from those they've rewarded so generously, their offerings are quickly taken for granted and therefore have no motivational value. My message to organizations and their Human Resource Departments—and to really generous parents, grandparents, teachers, or friends—is beware of unfettered generosity; it leads to a psychology of Entitlement, or the assumption, "I'm owed everything I get," along with the accompanying, "What have you done for me lately?"
There's a very old and widespread belief that if employees are happy their gratitude will be equaled only by their productivity and retention rates. In other words, as morale climbs, performance will soar. As a result of this heartfelt belief, Human Resource Departments have generated a long list of things that will make employees happy. This point if view is so widely accepted that virtually every midsized and large organization offers most of these things to all of its people.
There is nothing controversial or debatable in these offerings, so I call them Mother's Day and Apple Pie benefits. Every thoughtful and conscientious organization offers some variation of the following (listed in no particular order): competitive compensation and benefits, health insurance, tuition reimbursement, flex time, and parental leave. I could easily create a longer list but this is enough for the reader to get the picture.
Alas, these offerings, which are widely believed to motivate and gladden employees, generate almost no significant payoff for the organizations that offer them. Several years ago, Watson Wyatt conducted a survey of American employees. The goal was to get at the heart of what the key drivers are of employee commitment. The results were as surprising as they were telling.
When Watson Wyatt asked employees what makes them committed to their work, no one factor stood out. In fact, the top seven factors each earned 14 percent or less of survey responses:
When employees are very enthusiastic and involved, the organization prospers far beyond its peers. The current terms for these emotions are commitment and engagement. When people are committed they are proud of their organization and the fact that they're in it. When people are engaged they see their work as contributing to the organization's mission and they strongly believe the mission is important. (Many people don't make this distinction and simply call the variable commitment or engagement.)
Commitment and engagement are not new terms for morale or satisfaction. Morale and satisfaction measurements have never correlated strongly with business outcomes. But commitment and engagement scores measure powerful emotions, and they are predictive. High positive scores predict financial success and strong negative scores—Not Committed and Actively Disengaged—predict poor financial results.
Unfortunately, we now have a financial recession as well as a psychological one. Today the levels of fear (which involves specific ideas like I might lose my job) and anxiety (which involves nonspecifics like I can hardly think, I'm so worried) are way too high and joy and optimism are scarce. That's seriously bad. While success and recognition generate positive attitudes and energy, failure and nonrecognition deplete and exhaust people. Organizations must get fear and anxiety levels down and replace them with a sense of hope for a better future.
Gaining those feelings of commitment and engagement requires responding to employees as individuals who really matter to the organization. That means leaders need to be able to relate to and motivate people, and people who are hired need to fit into the organization's culture so they're likely to succeed. Perhaps the key way that organizations can achieve commitment and engagement is by meeting an individual's most important needs or preferences at this time. The task is much easier than it sounds because at any time there are only between two and six categories of things that people really want.
From 1986 to 2001 people wanted challenge, empowerment, success . . . and last, money. That changed with the dot-com bust and economic stagnation that followed. By 2005, people wanted six things: security (now they no longer regarded it as a given), challenge, and success, along with three new items: they wanted both their work and family to flourish, they wanted to like and respect their peers and bosses, and they wanted meaning in both their work and life.
Except for the 1990s—when risk taking was glorified— security was always important to employees but rarely mentioned because job security was taken for granted. Today there's little promise of absolute security but organizations can still provide some semblance of job security to valuable employees by offering them conditional security. Conditional security is the agreement that if someone's performance is outstanding and their knowledge and skills are up to date, and if the organization needs what they know and can afford to pay them, that person has a job.
What Leaders Must Do
To truly gain employee commitment and engagement, leaders must offer rewards that are both contingent upon performance and customized to what matters most to the individual employee. When the number of choices fall into a few categories, it is not hard to satisfy individual preferences and in that way demonstrate that individuals are important assets and their work and welfare really matter to the organization.
To learn what really matters to an employee now, managers need to know a lot about the work employees do, and they must also know something about what's going on in life outside work. You get that information by first having a relationship based on respect and trust between the employee and the manager. Then, both parties are free to ask questions and be responsible for listening hard to the answers.
The data on people's preferences are put into categories and management and employees assess their viability, effectiveness, level of appeal, and cost. That becomes the initial version of what a particular organization will be able to offer employees. Every year or two, the question of current preferences needs to be revisited and revised appropriately. That's it; the key to success is customizing rewards, recognition, and working conditions to fit the priorities of valuable individuals who have earned recognition.

Hello Everyone,
First of all I would like to say thank you for providing a forum where people are actually helpful. I have read though many threads on AM and all I ever read is people helping people better themselves. That being said, I need some help! Been reading on prohomones and PCT and all other related topics for the past few months, however I feel more lost now than ever before. I am currently 31 at 72 (6 ft) and 208 with 18% BF according to the Armed Forces. I am looking to gain about 10-15 pounds of lean muscle with minimal BF increase. My current educated idea is to try M-Sten for my first cycle. However I would like input on everything from how to conduct my first cycle to a beneficial workout. Please offer as much advice as you would like I am looking to start my cycle mid-March will have 30 days of leave to dedicate to nothing but building a playground for my wifey

Anacortes Church Plant Discovers Identity | Email | Print |
by Bonnie Bowman, Anacortes Adventist Fellowship board chairwoman; Source: Anacortes Adventist Fellowship / Washington Conference
As an "adolescent" church plant Anacortes Adventist Fellowship, a company of approximately 50 believers meeting together since 2008, started to take a harder look at who we wanted to be when we grew up.
Growth in any new church comes in stages: bonding as a new group, creating trusting friendships, finding a church home, finding identity and continuing to grow — and in this case with a locally-funded pastor and other lay leaders.
Commander Mike Hakanson, an Adventist Navy Chaplain, recently stepped in to provide volunteer leadership and cast a vision for effective ministry and leadership.
In the new leadership structure, church elders and ministry directors are responsible for five ministry areas:
• Pastoral Care: visitation, greeting and social events to create an atmosphere of belonging;
• Worship: music, drama and preaching;
• Direct Community Outreach: serving the community through evangelistic outreach;
• Personal Spiritual Growth: spiritual growth opportunities through discipleship;
• Church Development: physical and financial structure for worship and technological support.
During a church growth retreat with Bill McClendon, Washington Conference vice president for ministry, members learned more about their spiritual gifts and practical ways to get involved in ministry. Even confirmed "pew warmers" who voiced the fear that they did not have spiritual gifts found they actually did have important talents to be incorporated into church ministry.
Anacortes Adventist Fellowship is learning church growth does not just "happen" and is excited to learn more at Washington Conference's Church Growth Practicum this year. We believe this will help us reach the next stage of development as we attempt to align ourselves with God's values and methods.
Note: Washington Conference offers Church Growth Practicums throughout the year to help churches discover healthy strategies for church growth. The next practicum will be held May 4-6 in Federal Way, Washington. Learn more at www.washingtonconference.org/practicum.

Native News Network Staff in Native Currents. Discussion »
SANTA FE, NEW MEXICO Several tribal officials were afforded the opportunity to speak before a joint session of the New Mexico legislature last Friday. Navajo President Ben Shelly took advantage of the opportunity.
Navajo President Ben Shelly
"We must find new ways to partner and address issues that are important to our constituents. We must grow our economies, create jobs, and build infrastructure, while maintaining basic services. Let's all work together and do our best to serve the people that put us here. We owe it to them,"
Shelly said during a 10 minute speech.
President Shelly also outlined some bills in the New Mexico legislature that he supports.
Senate Bill 76 would appropriate $1.44 million to New Mexico State University so they can grow fresh produce. Then the New Mexico Department of Agriculture would buy the fresh fruits and vegetables for distribution throughout the state for school lunches.
"We have Navajo Agriculture Products Industries that grows fresh produce, and I see a partnership that could serve both our interests, if this measure passed,"
President Shelly said, adding that other Navajo Nation enterprises could be utilized to help some state projects.
President Shelly also offered his support to House Bill 28, which would allow students at tribal colleges to qualify for New Mexico's Lottery Scholarship. Under current provisions, students who attend tribally owned colleges can''t qualify for the scholarship.
"We contribute to the lottery and our students should have the same opportunities as other young scholars in New Mexico,"
President Shelly said as the audience applauded.
Similar bills have been introduced in previous years, but have yet to be introduced to the floor, thus killing the bill.
President Shelly also lent his support to a portion capital outlay funding that would provide funding to build homes for veterans.
"We must care for our veterans by providing housing. They sacrificed so much to provide our safety, so it is our responsibility to do as much as we can to help them,"
President Shelly said.
President Shelly also extended his gratitude to Representative Carl Trujillo for working with the Navajo Nation to make changes to House Bill 306, which would've made it more difficult to cross commission Navajo police officers with New Mexico law enforcement agencies.
"We know Representative Trujillo has the vested interested in public safety for all our communities and counties. Thank you for understanding the position of the Navajo Nation,"
President Shelly said.
He closed his remarks by reminding leaders that to make the best progress, the leaders have to work together.
"In that spirit, let us continue to work together. The challenges we face could be better met if we work in a unified manner. Now is the time we must work together and see how we can find creative ways to establish new partnerships that serve all of our communities,"
President Shelly said.

Hidden Horsham - Buffalo Bill's Wild West
William Frederick Cody, perhaps better known as Buffalo Bill brought his 'Wild West' show to Horsham on Wednesday June 15th 1904. When the three special trains had delivered 500 horses and 800 people the doors opened for performances at 1.00 pm and 7.00 pm Buffalo Bill's Wild West was on show in Jew's Meadow, now Merryfield Drive in Horsham. It was part of a tour that began on April 25th in Stoke on Trent and finished in Hanley in October. Ticket prices ranged from 1/- to 7/6 (one shilling to 'seven and six' equals 5p to 37.5p [2006: £3.70 to £27.77]. Tickets for less than 4/- were only available on the day. S Price & Co at 48 West Street (now the Early Learning Centre) was selling the higher priced tickets from 09:00 am on the day The show featured cowboys and Native Americans as well as performers from South America, the Middle East and Japan. Perhaps the most unusual act was a cowboy cyclist named Carter who leapt 56 feet after descending a ramp William Cody was born on February 26th, 1846 which made him 58 years old by the time he was in Horsham, the show being in its 21st year. He was nicknamed Buffalo Bill when he was supplying bison meat to the workers on the Kansas Pacific Railroad. The event was advertised in the West Sussex County Times (WSCT) dated 11th June, see image below. The show was billed as 'Now making its Absolutely Final Tour of Great Britain' and went on to mainland Europe for the following two years. Note that in 1904 the Native American people were still referred to as Indians, this is in both the advertisement and WSCT report below
The WSCT dated 18th June carried a report of the show, the text of which is below, reproduced verbatim complete with capitalisation and punctuation as written. Report from the West Sussex County Times:

bacon chocolate bars?! who sells Vosges?
Just saw this...
Must try. I think that gourmet store a couple doors down from Osushi sells Vosges...does anyone else, Temper Chocolates or FK, maybe?
I think I've seen Vosges at FK, but can't remember looking for the bacon one. I'd check Savenor's too; they have a nice chocolate collection. By the way, I think bacon and almost anything sounds divine. I'm still waiting to make some bacon cookies.
Cardullo's in Harvard Sq sells Vosges [Barcelona bar is my fave] but it varies as to how many varieties they have at any given time. Dunno about the bacon one...haven't seen it yet.
re: kt1969
cardullo's also sells some german line of chocolate bars (can't remember the name), and there must be about 20 flavors with funny names and wacky ingredients. the wrappers are very artsy . . . and i think there might have been a bacon flavor among them. banana curry, egg cream, etc.
i've also seen vosges at the wine gallery (basically a little outpost of temper chocolates) on rte 9 in brookline.
re: dchow
That would be Zotter - they appear to be Austrian, actually. They're mentioned in this thread:
and I noticed that they had a bar involving bacon. The flavorings are really out there, but many are intriguing.-
re: Allstonian
Cardullo's had about 83 types of Vosges (including olive?), but no bacon as of last weekend.
The Cambridge Savenor's (92 Kirkland St.) sells the plum and candied bacon (!) flavor of Zotter (but not the pure "bacon bits" kind). I bought one but have not tried it yet, as at $6.79 a bar I feel I need to save it for a special occasion....


text: Long opposed to new gun laws, Sen. Bob Casey said Wednesday that in the wake of the Connecticut school shootings he would now support bills to ban assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition clips. Casey told The Philadelphia Inquirer the shootings that left 20 students and six staff dead in Newtown, Connecticut, have "haunted" him. He won a second term last month while still touting his opposition to gun control, but he said he reassessed the gun issue over the weekend. Casey said that images of the power of the weapon and the number of bullets that hit each child should haunt every public official. Casey spoke on the same day that President Barack Obama pressed lawmakers to reinstate the ban on military-style assault weapons and restrict high-capacity ammunition clips - the measures that Casey says he now supports.

You heard the big news yesterday: CIA Director David Petraeus resigned from the agency after citing an extramarital affair. Media attention immediately turned to Paula Broadwell, the biographer of the retired Army General. Earlier this year, she published a biography, "All In: The Education of General David Petraeus." Over the past few years, Broadwell had unprecedented access to Petraeus as an embedded journalist. She's a highly respected writer, military intelligence analyst, former Army officer, and 1995 graduate of the West Point Military Academy with degrees in Political Geography and Systems Engineering, along with a slew of advanced degrees from King's College the University of Denver, and Harvard.
Strangely enough, it looked like Broadwell's husband wrote an anonymous letter to Chuck Klosterman's advice column in the The New York Times last year. Back in January she made an appearance on The Daily Show. Check it out.

Last night I was discussing the feminist values that my (all-girls, Catholic) high school tried so hard to instill in its students with Kelly and I began to grow upset as a realization dawned on me.
You see, this school integrated awareness of sexism and feminism into all of its coursework—or,…
I have been busy finalizing my grad school plans. Things turned out a bit unexpectedly. I will be getting a PhD in Electrical Engineering. It is less of a jump from physics than it might appear. I will basically be working on computational condensed matter physics. I still hear the clarion call of particle physics, but condensed matter is cool too and is more employable. Plus I am going to a top 10 engineering program and if I had stuck with physics I definitely would not have been at top a 10 program.
My friend sent me this because he thought it was funny; however, I was not amused.
Feynman was a good physicist and a good educator, but he was also sexist and self-involved.

A Brill Calendar: March 8
Van der Waals: A Life
Few superb intellects encountered more obstacles in their growth than that of Johannes Diederik van der Waals (Leyden, November 23 1837 – Amsterdam, March 8 1923).
The recipient of the Nobel Prize for Physics for 1910 entered adulthood as teacher on an elementary school. The upward social and cultural mobility within that profession in the second half of the 19th century in The Netherlands is astounding; and perhaps unique.
Formalities in the national educational admission protocols lengthened Van der Waals's academic study. But when he at last conquered his doctoral degree in 1873 – at 35 years of age – his Leyden thesis earned him almost instantaneously world-wide fame. The greatest theoretical physicist of his age, James Clark Maxwell (1831 – 1879), discussed his paper in admiration and wrote: "There can be no doubt that his name will soon be among the foremost in molecular science", while adding, in an address to his monoglot country-men: "It has certainly directed the attention of more than one inquirer to the study of the Low-Dutch language [sic, WD] in which it is written."
Eventually, Van der Waals opened up a new domain of technology in physics: liquefaction of gasses. The exact formula behind this new field, the 'Law of Corresponding States', dates from 1881; and is called the 'Van der Waals Equation'. It has been said that all human progress results from the courage to say 'No'. This superb physicist said 'No' to the traditional assumption that gas molecules have zero volume and do not attract one another.
In the history of physics in Leyden University – both theoretical and applied – it is seldom that the consistency of a tradition in research is realized more convincingly than when Professor Heike Kamerlingh Onnes turned the Helium into a liquid in 1908 and discovered electrical superconductivity three years later; while Van der Waals still lived.

It was another great Saturday of baseball yesterday as interleague play continued outside of Citi Field where the Reds and Mets continued their NL series. There were the usual amount of unsung, and more importantly unowned, contributors in the world of fantasy baseball. Let's take a look at our daily lineup (archive) as we make our last moves before the start of another week.
Happy Father's Day! On this Sunday full of baseball, our daily Sleeper Central will be abbreviated and return to fuller breakdown tomorrow. Percentages included are ownership in ESPN leagues.
Sleeper Starting Lineup
C- Jarrod Saltalamacchia – Bos: (44.3%) Salty went 2-3 with a home run and a double batting from the cleanup spot for the first time in his career. He has 12 home runs, 32 RBI, and has continued his breakout campaign behind the plate for the Sox.

My Reaction to Osama bin Laden's Death
It's increasingly clear that the operation was a planned assassination, multiply violating elementary norms of international law. There appears to have been no attempt to apprehend the unarmed victim, as presumably could have been done by 80 commandos facing virtually no opposition—except, they claim, from his wife, who lunged towards them. In societies that profess some respect for law, suspects are apprehended and brought to fair trial. I stress "suspects." In April 2002, the head of the FBI, Robert Mueller, informed the press that after the most intensive investigation in history, the FBI could say no more than that it "believed" that the plot was hatched in Afghanistan, though implemented in the UAE and Germany. What they only believed in April 2002, they obviously didn't know 8 months earlier, when Washington dismissed tentative offers by the Taliban (how serious, we do not know, because they were instantly dismissed) to extradite bin Laden if they were presented with evidence—which, as we soon learned, Washington didn't have. Thus Obama was simply lying when he said, in his White House statement, that "we quickly learned that the 9/11 attacks were carried out by al Qaeda."
Nothing serious has been provided since. There is much talk of bin Laden's "confession," but that is rather like my confession that I won the Boston Marathon. He boasted of what he regarded as a great achievement.
There is also much media discussion of Washington's anger that Pakistan didn't turn over bin Laden, though surely elements of the military and security forces were aware of his presence in Abbottabad. Less is said about Pakistani anger that the U.S. invaded their territory to carry out a political assassination. Anti-American fervor is already very high in Pakistan, and these events are likely to exacerbate it. The decision to dump the body at sea is already, predictably, provoking both anger and skepticism in much of the Muslim world.
We might ask ourselves how we would be reacting if Iraqi commandos landed at George W. Bush's compound, assassinated him, and dumped his body in the Atlantic. Uncontroversially, his crimes vastly exceed bin Laden's, and he is not a "suspect" but uncontroversially the "decider" who gave the orders to commit the "supreme international crime differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole" (quoting the Nuremberg Tribunal) for which Nazi criminals were hanged: the hundreds of thousands of deaths, millions of refugees, destruction of much of the country, the bitter sectarian conflict that has now spread to the rest of the region.
There's more to say about [Cuban airline bomber Orlando] Bosch, who just died peacefully in Florida, including reference to the "Bush doctrine" that societies that harbor terrorists are as guilty as the terrorists themselves and should be treated accordingly. No one seemed to notice that Bush was calling for invasion and destruction of the U.S. and murder of its criminal president.
Same with the name, Operation Geronimo. The imperial mentality is so profound, throughout western society, that no one can perceive that they are glorifying bin Laden by identifying him with courageous resistance against genocidal invaders. It's like naming our murder weapons after victims of our crimes: Apache, Tomahawk… It's as if the Luftwaffe were to call its fighter planes "Jew" and "Gypsy."
There is much more to say, but even the most obvious and elementary facts should provide us with a good deal to think about.

Who was murdered?By methven, william at May 21, 2011 09:31 AM |
Bin Laden was a wealthy Saudi in receipt of long term mediacal treatment (we are told). So his medical records would be detailed. Why have these not been used to prove that the dead body was bin laden's and not some poor stooge lookalike - one of the many that have ben paraded on the world's media over the years?
The indecent haste that his body was disappeared without any medical examination is deeply suspicious.
I remain very sceptical that this was in fact the mythical bin laden & that he did not already die some years ago, and the myth has been kept alive in the West until it suited the Americans to kill him off & claim his scalp.

The State's AllyBy P, Noel at May 07, 2011 19:18 PM |
In removing bin Laden, the State has removed a key ally in its use of torture, reduction of civil liberties, postponement of lawless prisons like Gitmo, and continuation of the war on Afghanistan. What new excuses will they perpetuate to continue these policies? We need to work to stop them as bin Laden's death offers us ammunition.
Methinks the US and Europe will easily find a new monster - Ho Chi Mihn morphed into Fidel Castro who morphed into Salvadore Allende and then Daniel Ortega and then Sadaam Hussein, Slobodan Milosovic, Osama Bin Laden, Kim Jong-il and then Hugo Chavez. I suspect someone Chinese might fill the vacant picture frame. I hope I'm wrong. Best wishes John Andrews
I remember Donald Rumsfeld being asked sometime after the invasion of Afghanistan if he had any news on the whereabouts of OBL. He jokingly replied "we ssek him here we seek him there". This prompted the reporter to say are we not here to find OBL, the reply was that is not the only reason we are here and it was not the priority of the US.

Thank you, Chomsky
I AmBy Bluhm, Richard at May 07, 2011 13:57 PM |
Incidentally, it was 9/11 that awakened me, a former high school history teacher, to the malevolent motives of the powers that be. I recall initialing my quest for truth by doing an internet search of "Noam Chomsky." Chomsky's analysis has not disappointed me since though I depart from his unwillingness to give the devil his due regarding 9/11. Sorry, it started us on this latest road to perdition and has infected the last decade with a collective insanity the scale of which has no comparison in history. The denial of physical evidence on the part of the intelligentsia whom Chomsky recently related as being overwhelmingly supportive of power is par of the course. Face it. Few aspects of 9/11 can stand the light of day most emphatically a trial of bin Laden which most probably would have brought out the myriad inconsistencies brought forth by the work of Richard Gage. See ae9/11truth.org.
Recognize that we are all swiss cheese as far as the talents that birth has given us, including the most prescient Noam Chomsky. He is only human. He has chosen to ignore or simply cannot see the most awkward implications of the crime of the century perhaps because he's aware that Big Brother is just too powerful, or perhaps it's too much of a distraction from the Constitutional crisis at hand. Realizing that the above statement elicits impatience from those who have put such thoughts behind them I'm fully aware that what is wrong with the world is "I Am."
Terrorism is an evil but attributing the crime to the criminal is fundemental to any legal process that claims a modicum of legal or process. Bin Laden should have been arrested as was possible and tried. then the US or better still the ICC could provide the world with the evidence of the origins of the 9/11 mass crime. It is believed that mass crimes have been committed by the US in Iraq and Afghanistan but Americans consider such murder as not worthy of consideration. Such inconsistancies attest to the bias of US and other western media. What NC has written is correct and the anamolous statements after the recent raid by the US administration illustrates the conflicting statements on matters since the first minute of the 9/11 attack.
ok, clearly 911 was used to justify the neocon agenda, and that agenda was no secret as i'm sure you are familiar with PNAC. their doctrine spoke with candor "the process of transformation, even if it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event––like a new Pearl Harbor."
my question for you and 911 conspiracy theorists. first off, you don't deny that two planes struck the towers.. correct? but in addition, explosives were also added. if i have that correct then i must ask what purpose do these explosives serve? if, as claimed, the towers couldn't have fallen in the manner they did, would not the planes have been sufficient all the same? perhaps only killing half as many people, it still provides grounds for a "shock doctrine" reaction. why risk the whole plot with added planning just to get a bigger boom? where's the logic here?
Correctly chosen to ignore.
Your preferred scenario plays out: whoever desired finally vindicates your facts; a critical mass accepts that one particularly horrible and tragic event that has had an immense impact on the world was an 'inside job'; the guilty parties are thrown out. People around the world sleep a little sounder as they all know that those nefarious neocon rascals are gone. What next? Sexism, racism, capitalism, nationalism and ecological devastation carry on. |

The twelfth annual Wyoming Latina Youth Conference will take place Oct 18-19, 2013 in Cheyenne, WY. The conference is open to young Latinas in grades 5-12 throughout Wyoming. The "Power of Choice" Conference will focus on two days of events including an opening night banquet, a whole day packed with informative workshops, and a fun filled concert. The cost for participants to attend is $30.00. The fee includes all events including the Friday evening banquet, breakfast and lunch during the day of the workshops and ticket to the Latin Jam Concert Saturday night.
The banquet held at the Holiday Inn, will open the conference on Friday night. That event is open to the public for a cost of $30.00 per person. The 2013 Keynote Speaker will be Paulette Attencio. Ms. Attencio is a bilingual professional storyteller with over 25 years of experience. She is an internationally and nationally recognized keynote speaker at business and educational workshops.

The children would gather at her feet, with only the glowing light from the fireplace, listening attentively to the tales of comedy, romance, tragedy and witchcraft.
Participants of the Saturday conference will take part in a variety of workshops including education, bullying prevention, teen pregnancy, self defense, culture, etc. All girls will receive information that they can take back to their communities to continue the work of the "Power of Choice".
The conference culminates with the Latin Jam Showcase on Saturday night, Oct 19th, to be held at the Cheyenne Civic Center. This year's featured artist will include Latin entertainer Tobias Rene.

NLL Insider All-Rookie Team
All season we've tracked the top National Lacrosse League (NLL) rookies. In the end though, what matters is cracking a spot on the NLL All-Rookie Team. Only one player will be named Rookie of the Year (unless there are co-winners). Six players will make the NLL All-Rookie Team. Here are your NLL Insider picks.
2009 NLL Insider All-Rookie Team
Rhys Duch, San Jose F
Daryl Veltman, Boston F
Kevin Buchanan, Minnesota F
Stephen Peyser, New York T
Jon Harnett, Boston D
Tyler Richards, San Jose G
These are the top six vote getters amongst the seven staff members in our regular NLL Insider staff pick 'ems group. There are no positional requirements for the Team, but as it worked out, our squad features three forwards, a tranny, defender and 'tender:
Rhys Duch (16gp, 35g, 54a, 89 points, 97 lbs)
The odds on fave for Rookie of the Year (ROY) after his record breaking season, Teddy Jenner says it'd be a farce if Rhys didn't take home the ROY hardware. Duch had an exceptional year for the Stealth, finishing seventh overall in league scoring. He was the league's 'Rookie of the Month' winner in March and has been outstanding down the stretch. Among the league's Top 25 scorers, he also has the fourth-best shooting percentage behind only JT, CP and Jordan Hall (who was last year's fave for ROY).
Daryl Veltman (15gp, 34g, 43a, 77 points, 92 lbs)
The number one overall pick in the last NLL Entry Draft, Daryl Veltman did not disappoint in '09. He led Boston in goals scored and helped the young expansion franchise clinch a playoff seed. Even with the game he missed due to illness, DV was in on 43% of the Blazers' goals this season. Veltman also became the first player since '06 to win consecutive 'NLL Rookie of the Month' awards, doing so early in January and February.
"It is great knowing that the future stars of the NLL have already arrived in Rhys and Daryl," added potential league MVP, Dan Dawson. Duch and Veltman finished Top 10 in league goal scoring. Buchanan also put up great per-game numbers.
Kevin Buchanan (11gp, 22g, 23a, 45 points, 58 lbs)
One of the league's hottest players during the middle stretch of the season – putting up 27 points in just five games in late February and all of March – Buchanan was the best American rookie forward in this year's star studded crop and third among all rookie scorers. He gave Minnesota a real boost after they inserted him into the line-up full-time, even while learning on the job. Minny has to be excited for what he can bring to the table in 2010.
Stephen Peyser (15gp, 1g, 17 points, 137 lbs, 239-370)
Peyser was the only rookie to play in the NLL All-Star game, also winning the league's fastest shot competition by clocking a shot at 105 MPH. He was outstanding on draws, finishing second in the league for face-off wins. Peyser also contributed in transition while playing steady defense for the Eastern Division's first-place team. An excellent athlete, Peyser should be a staple in the NLL for years to come.
Jon Harnett (16gp, 1g, 11 assists, 12 points, 106 lbs)
NLL Insider had Harnett ranked as a 'Defender of the Year' finalist last summer in Jr., and he has elevated his game to another level in the NLL. Very aggressive and active with his stick, Harnett has played great for a team that ranks second in the goals-against department. In our NLL Rookie Rankings, he has been the top ranked defender the entire second half of the season. "Hands down the best pure D rookie in 2009," added Tutka.
Tyler Richards (10gp, 280min, 10 GAA, 192 SV, .80 SV%)
No rookie goaltender has been named All-Rookie since 2002, but Richards could change that in '09. He came off the bench in late March for summer teammate Matt Roik to capture a crucial win for SJ, and then won the next two games for San Jose as their starter. Over that three game win-streak that punched San Jose into the post-season, Richards posted an impressive .84 SV%. His overall save percentage is second-best in the league.
Honorable Mention
The following five players also received at least one vote for an NLL All-Rookie Team selection. Ranked in order of votes, starting with the most received:
Gary Bining, Boston F (15gp, 20g, 24a, 44 points, 49 lbs)
Paul Rabil, San Jose T (16gp, 16g, 18a, 34 points, 60 lbs)
Jordan Levine, Philadelphia T (16gp, 2g, 11a, 13 points, 92 lbs)
Jeff Gilbert, Toronto D (16gp, 2g, 9a, 11 points, 83 lbs)
Greg Downing, Boston T (14gp, 4a, 13a, 17 points, 95 lbs)
Bining finished fourth in rookie scoring after a great start that had him in ROY contention. Rabil tied for fourth overall in scoring amongst all transition players as he really picked up his play in the second half of the season. Levine was one of the league's best surprise stories from the outset. Gilbert and Downing were steady all season, and two unsung rookies.
Dane Dobbie, Calgary F (16gp, 41g, 35a, 76 points, 83 lbs)
Although he's technically not a rookie, Ty Pilson also wanted to highlight Dobbie's season. Dane played in just five games last season as a rook and he finished third overall in league goal scoring this year.
Official NLL league awards will be announced throughout the 2009 playoffs, leading up to the Champion's Cup Weekend of May 15-17.

Does he have any firearms and does he have access to any firearms? I hope they investigate and put a permanent hold on his ability to purchase firearms in the future. Yes, I know he could purchase by other means but there is always that chance he could try to purchase from a business required to run background checks.
To expensive to buy through a store with all the checks. Cheaper to just buy the fifty dollar special on the street.

"Patouf" was showing the new collection for A/W 2010 – 2011 as well. I have to say that I saw the logo before but I didn't see anything from the collections. Really wearable stuff. On the website they say: Creating feminine chic yet with a girly touch. That's really on point. I also like the SS Collection 2010 that you find on the website.

Poor Revelation!!! I'm so sad that Revelation didn't make it. But I'm glad you tried to do whatever you could to try to save his leg.
I don't think he should be cloned. That's just sounds kind of creepy to me. I know it's a little different from cloning humans, but it's still the same principle. I think of the complications with cloned meat. How genetically altered would it be? Didn't they have trouble with the sheep (Dolly) they tried to clone?
Keep Revelation alive in your heart. Don't try to bring him back through cloning. God will honor and bless your future efforts.
Thanks and God Bless!!!

We love Jeanne Marie Laskas and her subjects. Would she be interested in writing about our little family owned project known as Sugarloaf Mountain Vineyard in Montgomery County, Maryland? Given that she likes an industry connected to the old world but also involving the "family farmer with the latest technologies", she might be interested in our vineyard/winery/farmers market/cured meat project. If not, please keep up all the other good work.

Development (31701): LEAD facilitators spend the spring quarter developing self awareness and the influencing, presenting, facilitating, coaching and mentoring skills essential to leadership and to their ability to run the LEAD program effectively in the autumn quarter. Within their designated eight-person squad, facilitators select specialties so that they can devise and master the source material to have the depth of understanding necessary to facilitate classroom discussions on key leadership topics. In addition to time in the spring, students should anticipate three meetings of the LEAD Lab in Winter Quarter 2010 and some additional summer work.
Implementation (31702): The overarching mission of the course is to deliver an outstanding development program (the LEAD program, Business 31001) in autumn quarter for all the incoming first-year full-time MBA students. The LEAD program (as distinct from the two-quarter LEAD Lab) is the only course that all full-time incoming students take at the Chicago Booth and is run by teams of eight LEAD facilitators. Each facilitator team is responsible for the learning experience of two cohorts. The Implementation phase starts during the Core program and lasts throughout the autumn quarter, ending with the successful recruitment of student facilitators to partake in the following year's LEAD program.
Students do not bid for this course. Interested students apply during winter quarter and undergo an extensive application process from which successful applicants are invited to take part.
This course requires a significantly greater time commitment than a non-laboratory course.
Students are assessed on both their application to develop the requisite knowledge and skills to run the program and their effectiveness at doing so. A substantial component of the grade comes from feedback that facilitators are expected to give to, and receive from other facilitators. Class attendance in both spring and autumn is mandatory.
Description and/or course criteria last updated: 6/09

Nice try,Obama plant,but you've been busted yet again.I see you working..you're covertly implying that Romney is getting alot more in campaign contributions from Wall Street and the banking industry than Obama is in a subtle,but clumsy attempt to infer that he's in the hip pocket of the same people who bankrupted the economy four years ago and I'll not let such underhanded,DNC inspired attempts at character assassination stand.
Sure,you say your "messiah" "ripped Wall st. a new one over everything they do",but it's blatently obvious that what you're doing is covertly touting YOUR "messiah's" halfhearted attempts to impose more socialistic regulation and oversight on an already beleagured industry that clearly doesn't need any more regulation.
The only thing worse than a brain dead ideologue is an insidious political operative POSING as a brain dead ideologue in a shameless attempt to siphon votes away from a humble candidate running his campaign on a shoestring budget.
You're obviously a 47 percenter..probably a foodstamp recipient to boot.Take your dreams of redistribution and socialism and be gone,sir..you'll get nary a penny from the honest,hard working folks on this board..and tell your "messiah" we're onto you..and him.
