text: Yeah... I don't really know what to put here... So I guess I'll just talk about my rp experience? I roleplayed on the minecraft forums for a long time. I was in many roleplays, my favorites being ones I kinda slipped away from... I'll admit, although I have been rping for a few years now, I'm still not amazing. I have trouble going over a paragraph for every post, so I do trial by fire; going into rps that only allow 1 paragraph (or more) per post. Most people like my rping, because of my grammar, syntax, and ability to get ideas across, but I feel as though that's expected here, huh? Oh well... Time for more fire trial

The Duke Eye Center Genetic Counseling program takes a coordinated interdisciplinary approach to diagnostic and management services for individuals with hereditary ocular disorders, and also researches the cause of those conditions.
In addition to care that crosses disciplines, the program offers families genetic counseling through a dedicated ophthalmic genetic counselor -- one of only 15 such counselors in the United States.
Genetic counseling, as defined by the National Society of Genetic Counselors, is "the process of helping people understand and adapt to the medical, psychological and familial implications of genetic contributions to disease" (J Genet Couns, 2006).
At Duke, our genetic counselor gathers and interprets medical and family history information to better understand how a genetic condition may have arisen in the family and assess the risk of recurrence for other family members.
In addition, other services offered include:
This information equips patients and their families with the knowledge necessary to make appropriate decisions based on their personal and family circumstances.
In addition to our genetic counselor, Duke Eye Center also offers social work services to our patients. This person is dedicated solely to our facility and works with patients and their families in many capacities.
For an appointment with our genetic counselor or to learn more about genetic tests and genetic testing, call 919-684-0584. Duke Eye Center offers convenient locations near Raleigh, Durham, Cary, and other areas of North Carolina.
To refer patients to the Duke Eye Center, call the Duke Consultation and Referral Center at 800-MED-DUKE (800-688-3583).
This single telephone number has been implemented specifically for health care providers to access the Duke University Health System. The referral center is available Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

If a pair of black holes ever hit Earth, you would literally hear them coming: not by sound, which cannot cross the vacuum of space, but by waves of gravitational force, which, as the holes approached, would knead the bones of your inner ear by a perceptible amount, producing a whine like a camera flash charging up. Under normal circumstances, such waves are utterly inaudible, even though astronomers think they reverberate through our bodies all the time. Weakened by vast cosmic distances, the waves that reach us change the length of bones and other objects by less than the width of a proton.
To hear these waves, you need a supersensitive microphone such as the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO), whose twin facilities in Washington State and Louisiana are basically fancy laser range finders that look for wave-induced oscillations in the length of the instrument. But there are other ways to detect such oscillations, and a new study argues that one of those techniques might even test whether Einstein's general theory of relativity is the full story when it comes to gravitation.

Five 'Get ready now' heavy weather sailing strategies
John Jamieson
, 4:19 PM Mon GMT
In heavy weather sailing, sailing tips that save time and effort can be more valuable than gold when the rough stuff arrives aboard. Sure, you have jacklines rigged, crew in personal flotation devices (pfds), harnesses, and clipped in. And you've set preventers, taped the lifeline gates and lashed and stowed sailing gear topsides and down below decks.

Make a yummy salve for chapped lips with honey and olive oil (hey it's better than ear wax, right?). Or make a mild disinfectant with salt. Got a headache? Skip the giant pills and reach for vitamin C.
These are some of the suggestions from TDG Zen Cleaner blogger Michael de Jong, who has just released his latest book, Clean Cures: The Humble Art of Zen-Curing Yourself. Watch de Jong show you exactly how to concoct this natural remedies on this recent segent on Good Morning America Health.
Clean Cures has hundreds of remedy recipes, which de Jong hopes will help you protect the planet as well as your health and pocketbook. Not only can you avoid toxic chemicals and strong medicines, but you also can dispense with considerable amounts of packaging. For example, with his natural salve, you too can get kissable lips but without having to throw away all those empty tubes. de Jong worked with a physician during his research, and personally uses what he recommends (though of course no book should be considered a substitute for seeing a licensed doctor).

Taste Gastropub
Online Reservations
The menu selection is fairly diverse and it did not disappoint. My only issue is that the entree portions were small. They were the size of appetizers in my opinion.
First time and glad I found this place. Nice selection of food, wine, and beer.
We've been to this restaurant before while using a groupon and decided to try it again for a post-Easter service brunch, We enjoyed the food and the friendliness of the the staff.
This was our second time here since the re-opening. We went for Lunch, and it was really good. We had several plates. all were exceptionally good, except their house cut fries. They were not as good as the previous times, they are no serving them in a bowl and that causes the fries to remain greasy. In the prior ownership, they served them on a plate, with Feta and they were delicious. But alas they only serve hand cut fries now. Their tapas plates are generally all good.
Excellent food and friendly service. I will definitely come back again.
Awesome good, awesome staff, extensive wine list, great selection of craft beers!
Taste was great, simply put! Friendly, and attentive but not overbearing service. The food was outstanding. I had the perfectly cooked burger, which was juicy and flame grilled. My sisters had the steak and eggs, and fish and chips. Everyone cleaned their plates. My daughter had the pancakes and she loved it. Very cool to see a kid friendly menu, that is healthy and delicious. Bottomless mimosa's and Bloody Mary self serve bar with all the fixings including house made pickled veggies! What more can you ask for?? We will definitely be back! Great job Taste Gastropub!!!
The overall experience was a great way to spend an evening with family and friends. Everything that we ordered was delicious from the dip sampler plate to the homemade linguini with clams. Any thing we ordered was delicious, we were not disappointed at all. The customer service from when we entered until when we left was perfect, that I would definitely recommend Taste Gastropub to others as well as come back with my husband for a special occasion or for a date night out.
What a gem in Olney! Taste is the perfect name for this place. The food was great and the carnival of taste sensations was an unexpected but pleasant surprise. The place is new (April opening), and I sincerely look forward to a long run for this restaurant.
This place looks awesome!! Great decor and ambience, not to mention the very nice looking bar and their 3 flat screen TVs. They offer an extensive beer list and also great wines. The food was just phenomenal! We shared the Salmon chips and crab fritters. I had the Seafood salad and my husband had the catch of the day. The menu has something for every taste. Service was friendly from the minute we walked in to when we left. I will be back here soon and plan to have them cater my next event as well. Good job new owners!!!
My family has lived in Olney for over 30 years and we have dined at many restaurants through the years. Taste is a hidden gem. The service is fantastic and since the remodeling the bar is one of the most vibrant in town. Their gormet chef Lenny actually came out of the kitchen to meet us after the owner introduced himself and asked us how are evening was going. We told him that the food was fantastic and before we new it he had gone the extra mile and brought the chef out. The prices are more than reasonable and I like the fact it is family owned, the owners really seem to care about their customers. If you have nothing to do on a Sunday come in for Brunch, bottomless Mimosas and a Bloody Mary Bar I have not seen since Dewey Beach.
Six of us celebrated my husband's birthday at Taste. We enjoyed appetizers of very fresh raw oysters, crab dip, grilled shrimp, and spanakopita--all excellent. Dinner entrees included cornish hens, shrimp and grits, seafood pasta, rockfish and a burger--again, all very tasty. We brought our own birthday cake and our server had no problem wisking it away to the kitchen and bringing it out after dinner with candles lit--and then sliced and served it--at no extra charge. From the food to the service, we were very pleased with the whole experience. (Based on a previous visit, I can also recommend the salmon BLT sandwich!)
Thoroughly enjoyed the Pita Dipping Sampler and specialty drinks to get things started. The seafood special was excellent. The noise level was a bit high for us to sit and have an intimate conversation. Overall, it was a Taste-y meal.
Great food, great service and a really creative menu.
Several nice touches added to the great dining experience. Among these include the live music and the lovely african violets given away to the moms at every table. We will be back!
I was told that they'd only been open for 8 weeks, but we received excellent service and the food was EXCELLENT!
It was an enjoyable experience, BUT not up to what we had experienced under the previous owner. The selection of "small plates" was more limited than before, and that detracted from our experience.
Dinner at Taste was good! The service was great, food was yummy and my kids loved the food and choices! We will absolutely be returning!!
First time going to Taste Gastropub and we went to Brunch on a Sunday since we heard it was good. Didn't disappoint. Food was great. Service was great. Everyone in our party was very pleased. We will certainly be back for sure.
While we didn't order any of their main dishes, we shared and thoroughly enjoyed several different small plates. The portions are perfect for ordering three or four dishes and splitting them between two people, and the food itself was delicious. I can't really speak to the quality of their main courses or their sandwiches, but I'm certainly going to eat here again.
We enjoyed sharing the small plates and the cheese and meat plates. The staff was very attentive and the atmosphere was fun.
Our first trip to Taste was for brunch, so can't speak to their other food items. However, the brunch food was excellent - eggs cooked perfectly and the best breakfast potatoes I have had in a long time! Loved the "donut of the day" too!
The Food was pretty good, delicious even, but some people in my party complained that the food was too salty. Beyond that, the food was great! The service was awesome too! Tatianna is a very nice waiter who is attentive and the manager came around. Sunday night, seems to be the night to go, there were two big parties of people, Mine and one other and just a few people in the bar. Other than that, the place was pretty quiet most of the night. If you're looking for a place that has a great selection of wine, beer and other drinks, this is it. It's got a great selection of little plates, sausage and cheese you can snack on too.
Travel advisor rated this place #2 in olney. The menu was very interesting and intriguing. The beer list was great. Three of us had the lobster roll; lots of meat but the Sauce was bland. Served hot with butter would have improved it. Appetizers were great.
Nice evening and very good food. Scallops were perfect!
Recently changed owners. Food still good but fewer of the small plates and went to more "pub" food.
How you feel about Taste depends on your perspective. If you've driven up here from Bethesda, wow will you feel like a chump - so many places so much closer to your home do this type of restaurant so much better. For those of us from points further north, this is an excellent choice: much better than anything north of 108, yet still close enough to home that you don't need to have a full tank of gas to go for dinner. But on the whole, food was good, service was attentive enough and, yes, it was thankfully close to home.
The appetizers are great. The main menu has a lot of seafood, which I don't prefer. But the ricotta gnocchi was delicious (portion looks small) and the chicken sandwich was pretty good. We had a couple mix drinks each, and they were great. 2 apps, 2 mains, 4 drinks = $89 + tip Service 3.5/5. Food 5/5 Drinks 4.5/5 Would go back: Probably Recommend to others: Definitely (at least try it once)
Taste Gastro Pub was a nice night out. We went on a week night. The food and wine was great, but a bit pricy. 3out of 4 of us liked the oysters (I don't like them),want to go back when there isn't a large party using a third of the restaurant. We had 4 different seafood dishes and everyone liked them. My lobster roll was yummy. Worth checking out.
We were very happy with the experience overall. Beer selection was fun. Wine list by the glass is in need of a Zinfandel. Pour size on the wine seemed a little light, even though the server assured us it was 6 ozs. For appetizers, my husband had steak tartar and I had scallop ceviche. Portions are generous. The tartar was very good. The ceviche was a little strange, in that it looked more like soup. But the taste was very pleasant. For mains we had the ribeye and shrimp and grits. Ribeye was cooked perfectly and tasted great. The risotto was fabulous. Shrimp and grits were very good as well. We had a lot of leftovers to take home and enjoy the next day. We will definitely return.
Very good food but the service needs a little polish
The staff were polite, friendly, but obviously a bit inexperienced. The food was all good; we had the oysters, scallops, rib eye, and salmon at our table; all of which were quite good and finished quickly. The onion soup was not a proper French onion, and was a bit overspiced, but overall quite good. The winner of the evening was an exceptional gnocchi- it was cooked perfectly and the flavors were well-balanced.
Taste has become our new "go to" place in Olney. We absolutely love the menu and the service was stellar. Last night my husband and I had their rock fish special. And to call it special is an understatement. It was by far the best rock fish we've had. The dish presented beautifully--starting with pureed cauliflower, layered with seasoned al dente green beans and crunchy rock fish all topped with an unbelievable bacon jam. Each layer complimented the other to perfection and each bite was an explosion of flavor. Another dish knocked out of the park at Taste.
This little place is a gem and a surprise. The food is superb. The menu is innovative with many appealing choices. We tried about 8 different dishes at our table and all were superb. The management has also done an admirable job creating a beautiful and modern ambiance, which can be hard to do in an old strip-mall. However, we were seriously underwhelmed by the service. The servers are just not very professional, not up to par with the quality of the food and ambiance, which are nearly fine-dining caliber. They had problems with the timing of taking our order, bringing out courses, what utensils to bring with the dessert, and splitting the bill onto 2 credit cards, but the manager was gracious about fixing problems. We'll definitely return!
Couldn't have asked for a better dining experience especially with a group of 8. Staff was beyond accomodating and I will be making the long drive for the food, service, and atmosphere. Bravo.
Never been here before, but food and service were great.
We went here for dinner before theater in Olney. Service was very prompt, as we requested. The food was tasty and artfully presented. The prices were much lower than for similar fare in DC--a good place to go if you are in Olney.
Frankly, when we walked in I was afraid we were going to be disappointed. I guess Gastropub is really a good name for the place. It looks like a pub, but the food is far from pub food--it is sophisticated and absolutely delicious.
I had not been to Taste since it changed ownership and became a gastropub. The menu has kept a lot of the greek small dishes but added more American fare. We went on a Monday night and noted that the restaurant was fairly busy for a Monday. The service was great. I had a hamburger and my husband had some of the greek small plates. We were both happy with our food. I am happy that there are a now few good date night options for dinner in Olney.
We went early on a Sunday evening before going to Olney Theater. Other diners were doing the same. The service was the right amount of attentive and they realized that we couldn't linger. The charcuterie was excellent and I will definitely go back for more. Their fish was perfectly cooked and tasty and though I like cauliflower, there was too much to finish. Noise level was good as the bar was not particularly crowded. A good addition to Olney.
We were there early on a Tuesday night, so it was quiet and rather empty. The food was outstanding, and creative. Would definitely go back there again to try more "tastes".
We usually eat a peaceful lunch at this pub, but we tried a Friday night instead. The place was hopping from families, to birthday parties to a girls night out, seemed everyone was there. Still our waiter was attentive and our food was superbly prepared and delivered at the right temperature without prolonged waiting. We'll be back!

Going green can help restaurants become more efficient.
In a move combining both efficiency and sustainability, Beautiful Brands International rolled out Apple iPads and supporting kitchen software at its newer Camille's Sidewalk Café stores for servers to use during order-taking. Servers type up the order using the iPad touch screen, which then transfers the order directly to computer screens in the kitchen, eliminating back-of-the-house printers that use paper.
As waitstaff serve the orders, they can then clear the queue with a touch of the screen. Another feature of these systems is that it gives customers the option of having the restaurant e-mail a receipt instead of receiving a paper version.
This approach not only cuts down on paper waste, it also improves ordering and food prep efficiencies by cutting out the extra step of keying in an order on a POS screen, according to David Rutkauskas, Beautiful Brands founder, president and CEO.

Great relationships with team members can be counter productive for managers according to the University of Newcastle's Dr Herman Tse.
Recently appointed as a lecturer in Organisational Behaviour in the Faculty of Business and Law, Dr Tse has been researching relationships between supervisors, employees and co-workers in the workplace.
"Research suggests that leaders develop high-quality relationships with only a few people within a work team," said Dr Tse.
"Leaders tend to provide more organisational resources, work-related advantages and psychological support to those team members with whom they share high-quality relationships.
"This can have an adverse effect leading some team members to feel jealous, upset or angry because they have low-quality relationships with their manager and ultimately impacting on productivity."
Dr Tse said the impact of these high and low-quality relationships was being felt by many employees in many workplaces.
"When developing their leadership skills, managers need to recognise the important role of team emotions play in the development of relationships and ultimately a productive workplace," said Dr Tse.
Dr Tse recently received the prestigious Kenneth E. Clark Student Research Award from the internationally recognised Center for Creative Leadership in the USA. He will visit the Center for Creative Leadership in North Carolina in September this year to present his research.

stripping fry is firstly very stressfull for the parents, but secondly, the fry is denied parental care they need badly in order to be able to hold frey themselves later
If somebody would offer me stripped fish, I might take the water, but not the fish. Stripped fry is worse than worthless
As you wrote, the fish reproduce regularly and if this time the fry don't make it, they will make it next time. No worries, in a while you have more fry than ytou would want - because you keep them in good conditions

RPM New Features
A few RPM developers from Red Hat and Novell met at the openSUSE Conference 2009 in September. The results of the meeting are now online.
The idea for an RPM community meeting of Novell and Red Hat developers came up at LinuxTag 2009, where openSUSE community manager Joe "Zonker" Brockmeier invited Red Hat developer Florian Festi to Nuremberg. Novell's Pavol Rusnak has now publicized a detailed report on the meeting. Included as RPM experts from Novell were SUSE developers Michael Schroeder, Klaus Kaempf and Stanislav Wisnovsky, and Red Hat developers Festi, Panu Matilainen, Seth Vidal and James Antill, among others.
One result from the meeting is introducing soft dependencies in the new official version of RPM. Soft dependencies are keywords that recommend further packets for installation. If and how Red Hat is to implement them in
is still being discussed, but they will definitely go into RPM.
Another result is file triggers, which should make package builds easier by removing scriptlets in spec files (such as
%post/%postun -p /sbin/ldconfig
). Mandriva already uses this feature, so the RPM team wants to extend it to RPM. In the same breath, the team agreed to introduce two new scriptlets,
, to help in clean package updates.
Not part of the official RPM code is DeltaRPM, which creates a binary delta of two PRM packages. The source code for this feature will remain in Gitorious for the time being.
RPM developers also wanted a new payload format, because the current CPIO format has a file size limit of 8 GBytes. CPIO is good for most packages, but presents problems for distributing appliance images as RPMs, for example.
Aside from these feature changes, the RPM team has a few more on their "top 10" list. The complete report is in Pavol Rusnak's blog.
great post
Thanks a lot for sharing the article on cash. That's a awesome article. I enjoyed the article a lot while reading. Thanks for sharing such a wonderful article.I want to say very thank you for this great informations. now i understand about it. Thank you !

Should you think that the title of this post is useful, odds are you are considering about using Linux as your primary or even just an alternative Os when you're just sick of your old system. However many think that Linux is too complicated that it appeals only to geeks, Linux-magazine.com can prove that this fantastic operating system is actually for everyone. It is often fascinating to read about RPM New Features.

London Fashion Week Street Style
Proenza bags, psychedelic prints and fur coats aplenty.
Quirky, colourful and quintessentially English, you can always rely on the street style at London Fashion Week for a bit of pizazz. And just as London's runways have seen even the most eccentric designers inject a heavy dose of sophistication into their collections, its streets were a brilliant mix of polish and flare. Bright satchels and psychedelic prints featured heavily, alongside understated coats and blush tones befitting of a true English Rose.

Can't wait for the start of Dallas' third season on TNT this February? Well, the Ewings are giving fans an early holiday present with a first look at exciting new scenes featuring Bobby, Sue Ellen, John Ross, Christopher and all your other Southfork favorites. Expect plenty of smacks, sex and a few choice zingers.
A deluxe if derivative wallow in crime awaits viewers of TNT's Mob City (Wednesday, 9/8c) a six-hour primer in film noir attitude from The Walking Dead's Frank Darabont that's as sleek as the brilliantine in "fixer" Milo Ventimiglia's impeccably styled hair. Saturated in neon hues and evocative shadows, this limited-run series (airing in two-hour blocks over three Wednesdays) is gorgeous to behold even when it lays on the noir trappings awfully thick.
It's debuting only three days into 2014, but Discovery Fit & Health has an early lead on the award for next year's best TV title: Sex Sent Me to The ER. The show, which is pretty much summed up in the title, premieres Friday, Jan. 3 at 10/9c.
Repeats of Sex Sent Me to the ER will then air on TLC starting Saturday, Jan. 11 at 10/9c. Discovery Fit & Health has ordered four episodes of the show.
Sex Sent Me to the ER comes from GRB Entertainment, which also produces Untold Stories of the ER. For this spinoff, cameras will document what the channel calls "the real-life and often hilarious stories of what happens when a little action leads to a medical crisis."
Here's an exclusive clip from Thursday's episode of Once Upon A Time in Wonderland, which finds Alice and Will, the Knave, confronting a fire-breathing dragon. The scene was shot on location outside Vancouver at Alouette Lake in Golden Ears National Park. "I love being out here," the show's Alice, Sophie Lowe, told me on set. "We had to start out here at 4 a.m. when it was still pitch dark, but when the sun came out we discovered how beautiful it is. Even though we have to deal with rain and planes, I definitely enjoy location shoots more than our green screen scenes."
During breaks in filming, the cast set out on their own to explore the park's wonders. "I'm from the middle of England with grey skies and no water or sun, so I'm always wandering off into Vancouver's forests," says Michael Socha (Knave Will). "I'm just glad I haven't bumped into one of those bloody bears yet!"
Once Upon a Time in Wonderland airs Thursdays at 8/7c on ABC.
Crackle, the Sony-owned streaming service behind Jerry Seinfeld's Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, has picked up the second season of the comedic digital series Aim High.
McG (Chuck, Charlie's Angels) is behind the show, which stars Jackson Rathbone (Twilight) as Nick Green, a high school slacker who's actually a highly trained government assassin. Aimee Teegarden (Friday Night Lights) and Devon Bostick (Diary of a Wimpy Kid) also star.
They yap, they yammer, they sometimes even yell, but where would we be without our trusty talk-show hosts? Their programs pep us up for the day ahead and soothe us into slumber at night — that is, when they're not shocking the heck out of us! Here are the biggest, wildest, funniest and, yes, even the most tragic moments from the great wide world of chat.

Forget funky shirts and ripped jeans, red ribbons were the accessory of choice for many students in the Santa Rosa County school system last week.
But these ribbons aren't just an accessory, they are a symbol, a message and a promise for students – or so says Navarre High School senior Kati Bellingausen.
Bellinghausen, president of the NHS chapter of Students Against Destructive Decisions, also known as S.A.D.D., said wearing the ribbons is a show of solidarity.

Sounds like they are both prettty happy!
Although they've previously dated, this time around might be the real thing for John Mayer and Katy Perry.
"I don't feel like I'm in a celebrity relationship," Mayer, 35, told Anthony Mason during an interview on CBS Sunday Morningof his romance with Perry, 28. "For the first time in my life I don't feel like I'm in a celebrity relationship. I really don't. I'm not in a high profile – I know it's high profile. It's hard to explain ..." he said.
"For me it feels like something that's very human," he added. Read more.

TOKYO (AP) —Japan's home friendly against Togo in October has been switched to another venue because of a bad pitch.
The match was originally scheduled for the Kyushu Oil Dome in Oita, southern Japan, but problems with the playing surface forced the Oct. 14 game to be switched to Miyagi Stadium in Sendai, the Japan Football Association announced Monday.
Japan, which has qualified for next year's World Cup in South Africa, faces Scotland in Yokohama on Oct. 10 in the opening match of the three-team Kirin Cup tournament.

I suppose that there's always mineral oil... http://www.drffreeze.com/ That site hasn't been updated in years, but it's kind of an interesting idea. Nonetheless, I think that there's one aspect to all this that may be missing from this discussion. The big problem, as I see it, is not how to get the heat out of the enclosure, but rather how to get it out of the building. Suppose that you had a rack filled with 40 1U cluster nodes, and that each node burned juice at about 100W; In this case, your rack will be burning up about 4000W, or around 13,600 BTU/hr. One ton of chiller capacity can remove 12,000 BTU/hr, so just for that rack you'll need over a ton of air conditioning. If you *don't* have more than a spare ton of AC, the temperature in your rack is going to go up steadily. It doesn't matter how good your heat sink, heat pipe or whatever, is -- if the heat generated by your cluster isn't removed from the data center, no amount of forced airflow through the rack will do any good. I think that most 1U cases will do OK as long as the ambient temperature stays within tolerable levels. But feed them hot air to cool with and you have problems. Somewhere I read -- perhaps it was on this list? -- that some entrepreneurs were proposing to set up a massive web hosting facility on the North Slope of Alaska, largely to reduce cooling costs... --Bob

Down East 2013 ©
April 6, 1909
Naval Commander Robert Peary is exhausted. Up ahead, across the shadowy ice at the top of the world, he can see what he believes to be his target. Over six feet tall, with red-brown hair and a big signature mustache, he takes a reading and finds himself at 89°57. That must be it, he says to himself, staring across a moonscape of frozen water. All he has to do is walk and he'll realize his life-long goal — to be the first man to stand at 90°N. If only he can muster his feet, missing all but two toes from decades of travel in the arctic, to move in front of him.
"The accumulated weariness of all those days and nights of forced marches and insufficient sleep, constant peril and anxiety, seemed to roll across me all at once," he wrote in his 1910 account of the journey. Rather than go stake his claim, Peary and his five-man crew built igloos and he climbed in for a "few hours of absolutely necessary sleep."
When he wakes, he puts together a dog team and pushes off into the overcast toward the most northerly point on Earth. The entry for that day in his diary reads, in neat hand, with capitalization of the word like it was holy: "The Pole at last. The prize of three centuries. My dream and goal for twenty years. Mine at last!"
One hundred years later, and we're still not sure if indeed it was. Like an arctic squall, controversy continues to swirl around Robert Peary, a naval engineer who grew up in Portland, went to Bowdoin College, and worked as a surveyor in Fryeburg. Critics called his claim to be the first at the pole a "hoax" and a "snow job." Some say his African-American companion, Matthew Henson, strode to the site first. Others contend that nobody on the commander's team ever made it anywhere near the pole.
Peary's biggest challenge, though, came from Doctor Frederick A. Cook, who had been his staff surgeon on a previous expedition. Cook claimed he had reached the pole in April — of the year prior. The pair would duel in the press and, indeed, polarize the scientific community. They'd inspire congressional hearings, countless books and magazine pieces, and even a 1983 TV movie, starring Rod Steiger as Peary.
The story of Robert Peary is one of the greatest unsolved mysteries in the annals of exploration. Was he really first? Did he even get to the pole? Historians have been trying to answer these questions for a century without success. This past December, the state of Maine announced a grant that will allow Department of Conservation staff to digitize the papers Peary had stacked in the closet of his Eagle Island home. Will they find the truth in them?
Nearly everything in the circumstances which then surrounded us seemed too strange to be thoroughly realized," Peary would write in his epic book, The North Pole, "but one of the strangest of those circumstances seemed to me to be the fact that, in a march of only a few hours, I had passed from the western to the eastern hemisphere and had verified my position at the summit of the world."
The explorer had begun the journey to the top of the globe in Portland in the spring of 1908. There, he was fined for not having the proper papers in order for his ship, the Roosevelt. A three-masted, 184-foot, 1,500-ton steamer, she was built at McKay and Dix shipyard on Verona Island, near Bucksport, specifically to cut through arctic ice. When he designed her, Peary knew what he wanted. He'd made several previous voyages to the Arctic, and he'd found that his vessels could only get so far before they succumbed to the crushing ice. The Roosevelt was designed to ride up out of the ice-pack, with a hull almost three feet thick, heavy cross-bracing, and a pointed bow that allowed it to knife through even the toughest floes.
Peary estimated that the expedition would take him two years, and he was determined to be prepared. Dwindling supplies had forced him to turn around on too many occasions in the past. The ship was heavy with food and gear, carrying 16,000 pounds of flour, 1,000 pounds of coffee, 800 pounds of tea, 10,000 pounds of sugar, 7,000 pounds of bacon, 30,000 pounds of pemmican, 8,000 pounds of dried fish, 10,000 pounds of biscuit, 100 cases of condensed milk, and 1,000 pounds of tobacco.
On July 7, 1908 the real Roosevelt — President Theodore — came aboard the boat that bore his name in New York to wish the crew well. "He was very pleased to meet a man from Maine," engineer Wardwell wrote in his diary, and he told them that hunting the North Pole "was good business" and that he wished he could accompany them.
She was finally ready and got under way with the hope of all New York seemingly with her. Huge crowds gathered along the East River to watch her make her way out to sea, giving her a send off "that for noise and well wishes has never been equalled on the East River waterfront," according to the New York Times. Many of these well-wishers had helped the commander raise the necessary monies for the expedition, making donations as small as $10 and as much as $15,000.
Commander Peary wasn't the only one captivated by the thought of reaching the North Pole. At the dawn of the twentieth century it was the pinnacle of exploration, one of the final frontiers left to be conquered. The rich of Europe had long hoped for a Northwest Passage to the silks and spices of the Far East, and many assumed they could just sail across the earth's most northerly point. By the mid-nineteenth century, it was generally understood that the Arctic was a place of ice, but it was widely believed to be an actual continent with Greenland as a peninsula, rather than a floating mass. The race for the pole took on geopolitical significance.
"Countries were vying for it," says Susan Kaplan, director of the Peary-MacMillan Arctic Museum at Bowdoin College. "There were theories at the time that there was land there with coal, a valuable resource, or that it was open and there were whales there, another valuable commodity." Team after team — from England, Norway, Sweden, Russia — scurried north. They went by boat, and in 1897, by balloon. But they never got anywhere near the pole, which only added to their desire to do so.
Robert Peary felt this desire more keenly than anyone else. Born in Pennsylvania in 1856, he grew up in the Portland area, first in South Portland then on Munjoy Hill. In 1873, while still in high school, Peary went on a camping trip to an isle in Casco Bay. From there he could see the headlands of a neighboring island, and he was intrigued. He rowed over, walked around the seventeen-acre rock, and declared to himself that he would one day own it, picking out a spot for his house. For a couple of years after he graduated from Bowdoin, Peary lived with his mother in Fryeburg, where he worked as a surveyor and a taxidermist. He bought Eagle Island in 1877 with five hundred dollars of his first earnings.
Peary wouldn't have much time to spend there. The year 1879 found the young engineer working as a draftsman for the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey. Two years later, he enlisted in the navy and became a lieutenant in the Civil Engineering Corps. In 1884 he shipped out as second in command of an expedition looking for a canal through Nicaragua.
When he passed San Salvador, he described the island in his journal as looking as it did "almost four hundred years ago when it smiled a welcome to a man whose fame can be equaled only by him who shall one day stand with 360 degrees of longitude beneath his motionless feet and for whom the East and West shall have vanished — the discoverer of the North Pole."
By the mid-nineteenth century the Brits had sent Sir John Franklin in search of the pole. He never returned. Meanwhile, American whaling ships were pushing ever farther north, and the English, eager to get to the pole first, sent another massive expedition to the end of the earth in 1875. They got to 83°20 before being pushed back.
Robert Peary would make his first voyage to the frozen north in 1886, sailing to Greenland on behalf of the navy, and it was there and then that the polar bug truly bit him. Peary realized that he wasn't going to reach the pole the way everyone else had — boats weren't the answer. He understood that the first order of business was to explore the boundaries of Greenland, and he returned to its frozen field in 1891, bringing with him his new bride, Josephine. This trek took the couple more than 1,300 miles around the tip of the great land mass. They discovered that it was not part of any continent but indeed the world's largest island.
Peary returned to the north in 1893-1894 to continue his explorations of Greenland, where his wife gave birth to their first child, Marie Ahnighito ("the Snow Baby.") He'd go back every few years and push ever upward, reaching 87°6 in 1902 — till then the farthest north any human had ever been. These expeditions to the end of the known world were fraught with risks, from cold, which regularly hit thirty below, to the shifting ice, which could chew through a ship. Engineer Wardwell described one close call in his journal: "Last night about 12:30 the ice began to come in and there was a very heavy pressure. We thought the ice was coming right over her, but it stopped about fifty feet from the ship and piled up fifty feet high." On her maiden voyage, the Roosevelt's engine room caught fire twice, her boilers quit, and the rudder snapped off.
And, of course, there were the denizens of the north. Peary's wife, Josephine, wrote about the day angry walruses, some the size of automobiles, descended upon the ship. "There were at least 250 around us at one time and it seemed as if it would be impossible to keep the animals from attacking us; but by steady firing we managed to hold them at oar's length . . . I thought it about an even chance whether I would be shot or drowned."
Robert Peary took lessons home from each of these journeys, refining his plans. He borrowed Inuit sled designs and reworked them. He invented a new kind of alcohol stove. And he brought along snowshoes made by Mellie Dunham in Norway, Maine, which allowed him to better traverse deep sections of snow.
After leaving New York on what he declared would be his last journey in 1908, Peary sailed for a month, landing on the northwest shore of Greenland. There he took on several families of Inuits and 246 dogs. They spent the winter at Cape Sheridan and the commander made plans down to the smallest detail, building sledges and gathering caribou, polar bear, and musk ox meat. The Inuit woman sewed fur coats.
Come March, he was ready for the final push. His team consisted of seventeen Inuits, his longtime companion Matthew Henson, ship's captain Robert Bartlett, and four other men, along with nineteen sledges and 133 dogs. They got within 135 nautical miles of their goal, at which point Peary decided to continue on with just four Inuits and Henson. On April 6, he made his claim.
The world wouldn't hear about the discovery until September 5 — it took quite some time for the explorer to get back to "civilization" — when he sent a brief telegram to the Associated Press: "Stars and Stripes nailed to the North Pole, Peary."
Reporters, however, were not impressed. Just days prior, Dr. Frederick Cook claimed that he had been to the pole the previous April, and he was being feted by the Danes, giving speeches and accepting huzzahs.
Peary was stunned. Instead of returning to worldwide acclaim, he found himself walking right into a scandal. On September 8, Peary came out and said his rival was lying, telling the New York Herald, "Cook has simply handed the public a gold brick. He's not been at the pole April 21, 1908, or any other time."
The sophisticated PR machine behind Peary's effort, sponsored in part by National Geographic, quickly went to work to discredit Cook. They interviewed members of Peary's team, who said that Inuit hunters who had traveled with Cook told them they were never out of sight of land, which meant that he couldn't have made it to the pole. They talked to the fellow that accompanied Cook on his climb of Mount McKinley, who said he'd never made it to the top of that peak, and was a self-aggrandizer and a liar. And a pair of men came forward who swore in an affidavit that Cook hired them to craft a set of artificial astronomical observations that would have put him at the pole.
Cook was shamed and his claim largely debunked. He ended up going to jail for a Ponzi scheme. Peary emerged as the more credible of the two, but even so, his findings were heavily scrutinized. He hesitated for two months before allowing a National Geographic committee to examine his diary. This is where a great many of Peary's detractors pick up the bait, among them, Robert Bryce, a scholar from Maryland who wrote the exhaustive, thousand-page Cook & Peary: The Polar Controversy Resolved, published in 1997.
Bryce spent eight years studying the two explorers, going through the papers at Eagle Island, Bowdoin College, and the Library of Congress. He thinks neither man reached the pole, and that Peary spent those months copying a new diary that supported his claim.
"Nobody can spend hundreds of hours reading Peary's papers and not believe this was a man who was dishonest to the core," Bryce says. "He made things up, and you can tell this was a man trying to figure out how he could most plausibly lie."
Several details bothered Bryce. One was that the diary had no field marks — absent were the grease and dirt stains you'd expect on a book that had been dragged halfway across the earth. Another was that his handwriting was so neat, despite the fact that he would have been wearing mittens when he wrote it. "On a trip where temperatures were many
degrees below zero, even in a shelter, you'd have to wear mittens."
Bryce says there are "many examples in Peary's papers of suppression of material, many passages missing, and pages torn out." The most glaring of these is in the diary of his 1906 trek when he supposedly ventured farther north than any human had before. "His modus operandi was pretty straightforward," says Bryce. "He kept the smallest receipt for a thermos bottle, and yet he didn't keep the original pages on which he recorded his
reaction to breaking a world record?"
On his rush to the pole, Peary claims to have put in seventy-mile days. Bryce thinks it was highly unlikely that this man who had only two toes and had difficulties with balance could make his way across a very uneven terrain in the time he say he did. Peary's account of high speeds was also contradicted by Matthew Henson's description of many detours around pressure ridges.
According to Bryce, Peary was a man obsessed with his goal and unwilling to publicly give up. He didn't want to admit defeat, especially to those who had bankrolled him. "He was more afraid of failure than death."
And he certainly didn't want to come in second. "I'm not sure he would have claimed it if Cook hadn't claimed it," says Bryce. Based on his studies, the Maryland scholar doesn't think either ever had a chance, given the technology of the time. "Peary could have gone up there until he was eight hundred, and he would never have reached the North Pole. No one still has ever reached the North Pole on a dogsled unresupplied."
Susan Kaplan, director of the Peary Museum at Bowdoin, says that, whether or not he ever stepped on 90°N, Peary made commendable strides for Arctic exploration. "One of the questions is 'How close is close enough?' " she says, pointing out a 1989 study commissioned by the National Geographic Society, in which the Navigation Foundation analyzed all of Peary's data and concluded that he came within five miles of the pole. Kaplan says that's good enough for her: "I think he was within five miles, and I think he proved the North Pole was not sitting on land."
In 1951 Peary's friend Matthew Henson — who, tellingly, never spoke again with Peary after the latter's discovery of the pole — claimed he'd actually been the first one there. Henson told reporters that he'd walked in the lead of the party: "I was the first man that ever stepped feet on the pole."
Was he? Was Peary? Who really knows? The first person to indisputably reach the pole was Ralph S. Plaisted, an insurance salesman from Minnesota, who did so by snowmobile in April of 1968.
Peary died in 1920, having achieved many of his greatest desires, from buying Eagle Island to his polar trip and the international fame it eventually brought. Congress gave him a formal thanks, geographical societies from around the world awarded him medals of honor. He was buried, a rear admiral, at Arlington National Cemetery.
The journals of Peary and his men have been paged through by scholars in search of a definitive answer. According to the historian Tom Desjardin for the Bureau of Parks and Lands, they're unlikely to find much evidence in the material he has been digitizing since receiving a grant from the Davis Family Foundation and Stephen and Tabitha King.
"As far as one or two letters that are big 'a-has,' not yet," he says. "So far we're only through two boxes out of about forty. But I don't suspect there is. It would probably be someplace else." Most of Peary's data went to other sources, like the Library of Congress, and Desjardin says what's in this collection are mementos, clippings, and photographs that will help give a better picture of Peary but probably won't solve the controversy.
"I find it fascinating that one hundred years later it's still going," says Susan Kaplan. Nations were jostling then to claim the pole, and today, they're doing the same, interested in rights to oil drilling. "The problem is you can plant a flag and take a photograph, but back in 1909 what other proof would you have?" asks Kaplan. "You can't send a helicopter or jet to confirm you were there."
Donald MacMillan, the Bowdoin professor who accompanied Peary on his fateful expedition — up until the end, when he had to remain on the Roosevelt due to frozen feet — came to his friend's defense in the book How Peary Reached the Pole, which McGill-Queen's University Press has just republished.
"The North Pole is a needle point," he wrote, "roughly in the middle of a great mass of moving ice. Today it may be a point on the surface of a pool of water, tomorrow the top of a small iceberg, a pin-point on a pressure ridge, a point in the snow." Such a shifting target would be hard to nail for certain even with the most sophisticated tools. "No portable instrument is sufficiently accurate, nor is any man skillful enough, to locate a
needle point by an observation of the sun, moon, and stars.
"Peary was near enough."

I originally wanted to make something like this for Max as a celebration breakfast "cake" on his birthday since the party and big cake are usually on a different day. But this year his birthday fell on the weekend and we ended up having his party on his actual birthday. So I left the idea behind, until recently, when it came to mind again and I couldn't get it out of my head. So, we had these pancakes, just for fun, in the middle of the week. And, we loved them so much we've been finding reasons to "celebrate" just so we have any excuse to make them.
These pancakes taste just like a carrot cake – soft and fluffy in texture with a hint of heady spices. And, the cream cheese topping just seals the deal. If your eyes were closed, I doubt you would even be able to tell the difference. This is the definition of a panCAKE. Except they're made slightly more nutritious by being 100% whole wheat and having less sugar.
I love the idea of making a pancake "cake" for special occasions, and I think the start of school coming up is just as good of an excuse as any, right?
Carrot Cake Pancake Stack with Whipped Cream Cheese Topping
Admittedly, while visually appealing, serving pancakes in this way isn't the easiest way to do things. If you prefer, you can serve the pancakes individually with the cream cheese topping on the side.
Carrot Cake Pancakes
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 cups milk (or almond milk)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup canola oil (or melted coconut oil)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded carrots, packed
Whipped Cream Cheese Topping
- 1/4 cup cream cheese spread, room temperature
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup or pancake syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 6 tablespoons cold whipping cream
For the pancakes: In a medium-sized bowl whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, ginger, cloves and nutmeg. In a separate, large, bowl, whisk together milk, vanilla, oil and eggs. Whisk in flour mixture just until combined (lumps are fine). Stir in carrots. Let sit 5-10 minutes to allow the flour to soak up the liquids.
Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Using a 1/2 cup measuring cup, spoon batter into skillet, spread into an even circle. Allow to cook until edges have set and bubbles pop on top. Flip over and cook until browned on the other side (if pancakes are browning too quickly lower heat to medium-low). Continue with remaining batter.
For the cream cheese topping: Beat cream cheese and maple syrup until smooth. Add vanilla and cream. Beat until combined, stopping to scrape down the side of the bowl. Continue beating until stiff peaks form when beater is lifted.
To make a stack: As pancakes are done cooking, spread each one with butter and stack them on top of one another. Reserve first pancake to cool. Once all pancakes are cooked and stacked, place first (cooled) pancake on the top and top with whipped cream cheese topping. Drizzle decoratively with syrup. Cut into wedges to serve and top with additional syrup as desired.
Makes: 9 large pancakes (serves: 6)
