History lies thick on the ground in the towns surrounding Boston—from Pilgrims to pirates, witches to whalers, the American Revolution to the Industrial Revolution. The sights outside the city are at least as interesting as those on Boston's Freedom Trail. When you're ready to trade history lessons for beach fun, Cape Cod to the south and the North Shore to the northeast entice sand-and-sun seekers.

Calendar of upcoming events, rallies and town hall meetings.
All four of my grandparents came to Flint on trains and ships to pursue a living wage and a brighter future for their families.
MEA Vice President Nancy Strachan urged members of the state House Appropriations Committee on Wednesday to pass the Student Safety Act, which would provide students with modern methods to anonymously report threats to school safety.
LANSING, Mich., Nov. 13, 2013 — MEA Vice President Nancy Strachan urged members of the state House Appropriations Committee on Wednesday to pass the Student Safety Act, which would provide students with modern methods to anonymously report threats to school safety.
The proliferation of corporate cyber schools is having a detrimental effect on Michigan students, and it's time for taxpayers to take a stand and demand that policymakers stop diverting public dollars to for-profit virtual schools, MEA President Steve Cook wrote in a column published Wednesday in the Detroit News.
An increasing number of Michigan teachers are leaving the profession, according to a new report from Bridge Magazine — and they're doing so in large part due to a lack of professional support and respect.
The state Senate unanimously passed a package of bills Tuesday that would fix a number of problems with a state law that limits the amount that school districts can pay toward their employees' health care premiums.
MEA members and their UniServ Directors are working hard at the local level to make much-needed fixes to state health insurance laws affecting school employees, and along the way are demonstrating that local lobbying and advocacy pays off.
In partnership with the Charles H. Wright Museum and the Michigan Historical Center, Detroit Public Television is hosting a professional development experience for educators on Oct. 24 in Detroit centered around the PBS television series "The African Americans: Many Rivers to Cross."
The Pontiac School District has avoided an emergency manager after officials in the beleaguered district were able to reach a consent agreement with the Snyder Administration this week, but state officials will still assume an immense amount of power over the district's employees.
MEA members are being asked to help colleagues in need who are struggling to feed their families after they lost their jobs through no fault of their own.
The Ypsilanti and Willow Run school districts merged on July 1, and about 200 teachers and education support professionals were laid off as a result.
Check the status of bills that MEA is currently tracking in the Legislature.

Stillman women start new year with big victory
- 1-5-2011
- Categorized in: W-Basketball
By Andrew Carroll Sports Writer
Last Modified: Tuesday, January 4, 2011 at 11:21 p.m.
TUSCALOOSA | When the members of the Stillman College women's basketball team regrouped after a holiday break, they didn't have to face many distractions on campus. Six days of practice paid off as the Lady Tigers defeated LeMoyne-Owen 77-45 on Tuesday.
Stillman coach C.C. Moorer said the players returned on Dec. 28, and resumed practice on Dec. 29.
"You're always a little concerned when you have those 14-day layoffs," said Moorer, whose team hadn't played since a loss to Benedict on Dec. 11. "I have to give credit to the players because they came back in pretty good shape so we could just really go into adding on to what we had been doing previously. We did a lot of conditioning, but we also stayed focused because there was no one on campus. All we had to do was get in here and practice and focus on what we wanted to do."
Three Stillman players scored in double figures, and 10 ended up in the scoring column.
"We wanted to start the new year off right," Moorer said. "This is the second part of our season. We're forgetting about what happened in those first seven games because we're starting a new season right now. We have 11 games this month, and we really have to stay focused."
Guard Jasmine Hazley, who made a couple of 3-pointers, led Stillman with 16 points. Forward Jamila McKinnis had 14 points, eight rebounds and three assists. Forward Alecia Young finished with 12 points and six rebounds. Guard Siera Dority had nine points, four rebounds and three assists.
McKinnis had 10 points as the Lady Tigers built a 34-21 halftime lead. LeMoyne-Owen cut it to 44-35 on a jumper by Sharita Jones with less than 14 minutes left.

Promenade Au Pied Dune Falaise En Normandie Walk at the Foot of a Cliff in Normandy |
Click on image to see Large Picture | ||||||||
An original and detailed narrative scene with an unusual perspective of the often depicted cliffs of normandy, the painting is a nice depiction of people at leisure. The title literally translates to walk with the foot of a cliff in normandy. The double entendres of walk and foot apply to both the elegant figures and the physical locations attributes, so well leave the definition to speak for itself, as the artwork does so well. Much in keeping with his contemporary artists around the french coasts, a grey somber sky is flush with cool depth, and every beach visitor is properly, fully attired. Canes and parasols in hand, they stroll with children or their beloved pets. The foremost couple relax to watch the cutter yacht and several more sailing ships beyond the light-marked stone jetty breakwater. A lone figure prepares a bonfire stack on the beach as well. Stevens treatment of the different textures of the beach, ocean, chalky cliffs and lush grasses is beautiful to observe in its intended full composition and interesting close-up to the surface. While its an impressionistic painting with loose boundaries, he gave a great deal of care to the placement of each touch of the brush. Specifically, even though there are few in the overall composition, his soft, suggestive treatment of the small wild flowers near the couple have the haphazard yet well thought out positioning true to nature. His sky has aggressive, wispy brushstrokes, and the wet sand is slick, applied in smooth layers in some spots with a stroke of a palette knife. This is a well executed painting with desirable subjects. |

Commodity Crazy!
The commodity markets are bullish again and let me count the ways. Many of the old time commodity markets are breaking out and for a host of different reasons. Platinum continues to soar in the aftermath of mine violence in South Africa. Now add to that concerns about production cut backs at other mines that is creating a breakout in the metals. BHP Billiton after seeing profits cut by over 35% is putting off or canceling $50 billion worth of expansion projects. Other big producers may follow.
The manure tour, otherwise known as the Pro Farmer crop tour, is sending signals that most of the U.S. corn crop is a disaster and will be worse than government forecasts. Still there is some hope as reported by Reuters that the tour found slightly better-than-expected corn yield counts in central and north-central Indiana and in south and eastern Nebraska, contrasting with poor yields in Ohio and South Dakota. In Nebraska, where fields are extensively irrigated, scouts pegged the corn yield at 178.8 bushels per acre after inspecting eight fields, up from last year's 153.7 bushels. Soybean pods averaged 869.6 per three-foot square, below the 1,286.5 pods of last year. Corn yields after the first four tour stops on one Indiana route across Huntington, Wabash and Whitley counties were estimated at 137.07 bushels per acre, above the 134.02 bushels a year ago. The soybean pod count was 1,628.48, better than last year's 1,140.30. The tour will announce its national yield and production estimates on Friday.
Not to mention that fact that barge traffic in the Mississippi has ground to a halt due historically low water levels and thus created tightness in the cash markets.
Cotton has soared as well and it appears that it has finally found a bottom. It seems the market has priced in slowing Chinese demand and now is joining the other agricultural markets in this commodity rally.
Orange juice is soaring on fears that Tropical Storm Isaac may damage the orange crop. What is worrisome about this storm, soon to be a hurricane, is that there is another weather disturbance right behind it.
And now we're back to crude oil. Is it not amazing that with all the talk about the commodity markets and the fundamentals behind the rallies, I did not even once bring up Europe? Well I would not be giving you a complete picture of the market if I did not. The sharp rise in the Euro hitting the highest levels since the European doom and gloom of last July, is adding a bullish dynamic behind the other bullish fundamentals that are creeping up all over the place. For the energy complex, the fundamentals are getting stronger, not only because of a potential European bailout, but also because of the tropical storm threats and geopolitical threats. There is some buzz that Iran is talking again to try and avoid a conflict but it does not appear the traders are giving these talks much hope especially after Iran was showing off new missiles. Still it seems that the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) will meet with Iran on Friday in Vienna to discuss remaining "outstanding issues". It seems that Iran has "issues" especially when it comes to the truth surrounding its nuclear program.
The American Petroleum Institute also reported that U.S. crude oil supply fell by 6.1 million barrels, a very supportive number. Of course traders suspect that they are really just catching up to the Energy Information Administration numbers. Today we get the Energy Information Administration's version and if they report a big drawdown in supply, oil could break out higher. If not, there is major resistance in this for both WTI and Brent. Perhaps the talks from Iran may give the bears false hopes.
Despite the fact that gas prices have increased, it seems that demand is rising as well. Bloomberg News reports that U.S. gasoline demand rose 1.9% last week as prices at the pump jumped to a 13-week high, according to data from MasterCard Inc. Drivers bought 8.97 million barrels a day of gasoline in the week ended Aug. 17, up from 8.81 million the prior week, MasterCard's SpendingPulse report showed. That's the highest level since June 29. Gasoline consumption in the week ended Aug. 10 fell 0.7% from the seven days ended Aug. 3. MasterCard releases weekly data every two weeks. The average pump price rose 6¢ in the past week to $3.71 a gallon, the highest since May 18. Prices reached a year- to-date peak of $3.94 on April 6. The average has jumped 38¢ in six weeks and drivers are paying 12¢ more than a year earlier. The highest prices were on the West Coast, where the average rose 17¢ to $3.95 a gallon. The lowest average was on the Gulf Coast, where a gallon gained 5¢ to $3.51. Fuel consumption last week was 2.3% below the year- earlier level, the 51st straight drop in that measure. Year-to- date gasoline demand is 4.4% below 2011. Fuel use over the previous four weeks fell 2.7% below the same period in 2011, a record 74th consecutive drop in that measure. The report from Purchase, New York-based MasterCard is assembled by MasterCard Advisors, the company's consulting arm. The information is based on credit-card swipes and cash and check payments at about 140,000 U.S. gasoline stations. Visa Inc. is the biggest payments network company by transactions processed.
In Chicago more bad luck. Bloomberg News reported that BP Plc reduced rates on a crude oil pipeline running to the Whiting refinery in Indiana from the Cushing, Oklahoma, storage hub, by 84% to 29,000 barrels a day, according to a report by Genscape, an energy-information provider.

BMW announced this week that 2014 models equipped with its iDrive 4.2 interface will include Siri Hands Free mode, making it possible to pair an iPhone with your car and use Siri without ever taking your hands off the wheel.
More →
After privacy concerns were raised regarding data it gets from Siri, Apple has revealed that it keeps that data for up to two years. Apple generates a random string of numbers to associate with your voice data, rather than using your Apple ID, and any Siri data they collect from you goes under that number. Data, however, is decoupled from that number. According to Wired an Apple spokesperson explained:
If you've ever used Siri, you've most likely been given the response that your request couldn't be completed and you could perform a web search instead. In some cases, Siri doesn't understand names or words correctly which causes confusion which results in an error or incorrect results.
There's actually a way to edit your request directly within Siri without having to try and dictate it all over again.
Here's how:
Ten months ago at WWDC 2012 Apple introduced Siri Eyes Free for integrating Siri voice interactivity with automobiles. On the screen behind Scott Forstall were the logos of nine auto manufacturers: Audi, BMW, Chrysler, GM, Honda, Jaguar, Land Rover, Mercedes, and Toyota. To date, only one manufacturer has delivered: GM. They committed in November to integrating Siri into the youth-oriented Chevrolet Sonic and Spark, demoed the integration at CES 2013, and cars equipped with the feature finally started rolling off the assembly line in Michigan last month. Chevy has already started advertising Siri Eyes Free integration for the Sonic on television across the United States.
Marc Edwards of Bjango, Guy English of Kicking Bear, Loren Brichter of Atebits, Sebastiaan de With of DoubleTwist, and Rene Ritchie of Mobile Nations talk human interfaces of the future, including Siri, Google Now, Kinect, Leap, MYO, Project Glass, iWatch, Oculus Rift, and more!
Rene and Guy talk to Grant Paul, aka chpwn, about developing for jailbreak, hacking the Nintendo Wii, the architecture behind SpringBoard and Apple TV apps, Siri, the future of file systems, and taking things to 11.
At CES 2013, Chevy showed off Siri Eyes Free integration in the compact Sonic and subcompact Spark, and today Honda has announced that later this year they're bringing the same to three substantially larger vehicles in the corporate stable: the 2013 Honda Accord, Acura RDX, or Acura ILX.
Siri very nearly became a staple of the Droid line of Android phones before Apple purchased the company in 2010. Originally a standalone app available for iPhone, Verizon had signed a deal with Siri in late 2009 in order to put the service on every Droid phone, but the deal was cancelled after Apple purchased Siri for themselves. According to the Huffington Post:
When Apple swooped in to buy Siri, it insisted on making the assistant exclusive to Apple devices, and nixed the Verizon deal. In the process, it narrowly avoided seeing Siri become a selling point for smartphones powered by its biggest rival, Google.
Apple is seeking some fresh blood to help improve Siri. A job advertisement appeared on the business orientated social networking site LinkedIn yesterday seeking an individual who can help evolve and enrich Siri, Apple's personal digital assistant.
There'll be an iPhone 5s and iPhone 6. There'll be a Retina iPad mini. There'll be a thinner, lighter iPad 5. There'll be an Apple A7 system-on-a-chip. There'll be an LTE radio that can do simultaneous voice and data, and eventually voice over LTE. There may be curved displays, biometric sensors and security, 4K AirPlay, onboard voice parsing, in-air gesture and face recognition, and much, much more. Apple's hardware will continue to tick tock its way towards the future, but for mainstream users, most of the time, the devices we hold in our hands today are more than good enough. And it's the stuff inside and around them that's become far, far more important.

Another problem that Deutsch was confronted with
was an existing US Geological Survey that deemed
much of that property as a flood control area but I
don't know where that stands now - the property
certainly hasn't changed any in at least the last
30 years. Fwiw - Banning's $32M Water Bond built
the new $16M PD building and the $14M "Sunset"
electric substation. Shortly thereafter both electric
and water rates were increased to top it off.

We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. We booked a Rex Suite for a family of 4 for 2 nights and, as the hotel was undergoing some refurbishment, we were upgraded to an Executive Suite and it was fantastic. Some parts of the hotel are older and a bit tired, hence the refurb, but I also think this adds to the charm and history of a hotel like this. […] Otherwise we would have chosen one of the other large hotels owned by hospitality chains that are also in this upmarket area. Great location and excellent service, as we experienced in most of Vietnam. Meer infoGeverifieerde Hotels.com gastenbeoordeling

The best thing about this hotel is its great location - walkable to all the main landmarks and shopping areas with safe crossing points (mostly!) The rooms are great. Housekeeping is excellent. Could benefit from better television reception (a lot of static in tbe sound quality) and needs international power points (its a 2 round pin system like old […] Singaporean powerpoints so take an adapter as the hotel sells them , but does not loan them.) Breakfast is adequate and a mix of Asian and Western. Meer infoGeverifieerde Hotels.com gastenbeoordeling
"Lovely Hotel - Terrible Management"
What a lovely old hotel in such a great location. However our stay was completely marred by the management's decision to have a TWO day Halloween party in the courtyard of the hotel - complete with a blazingly loud rock band that played until 11:30 pm EACH night. It was absolutely impossible to sleep - with the booming bass sounds reverberating in our […] room. Why management would think this was a good decision to host this party at the expense of its paying guests is beyond me. Too bad. Meer infoGeverifieerde Hotels.com gastenbeoordeling

"Comfy beds but didn't feel welcome!"
We picked The Rex after returning to HCMC from a 2 week trip of Vietnam. We wanted our last night to be luxury and a relaxing day around the pool. However we didn't know that the hotel was under maintenance and so one pool was closed and the other was disrupted by the loud noise of the maintenance (so not the relaxing stay we hoped for). We were also […] asked to pay for pool usage as staff didn't think we had stayed there so I had to find our receipt for the night stay for them to verify it! Rooftop bar is stunning and breakfast amazing. Wouldn't get any food in the Rooftop bar though as its very average and over priced. 10% service charge is added and service isn't great at all. Despite the large number of staff we struggled to get their attention and when we complained about a poor meal they simply all stood around it examining it before putting it back down in front of me and telling me it was faultless! I didn't leave feeling relaxed and wished we had paid for a cheaper hotel with better hospitality. Meer infoGeverifieerde Hotels.com gastenbeoordeling

"A touch of class in an excellent location"
We stayed at the Rex for 5 nights at the end of our 3 week tour of Vietnam and totally enjoyed the experience. The history, the location and the reputation of the hotel were key factors for us when we made the decision to book the hotel. It was a great decision and we enjoyed every aspect from the fantastic and extremely varied breakfast to the first […] class sightseeing tour we booked with the Rex. All the main attractions, museums, restaurants and shops are within easy walking distance of this hotel. As mentioned we also booked a tour to the Cu Chi Tunnels and the Mekong Delta via the Rex as they offered a one day tour that covered both visits on the same day. This turned out to be a fantastic experience as we only paid about £30 British Pounds per person more for the two of us than we would have paid for a visit to just one attraction with a standard tour company. Plus we were picked up by our professional tour guide and the hotel's driver in one of the Rex's black Mercedes limousines and were treated to a totally personal and highly interesting tour. Thang the guide was superb and the tour included meals and all entrance fees to the tunnels and for the trips on the boats in the Delta. Meer infoGeverifieerde Expedia gastenbeoordeling

"Dated and felt kind of cheap"
The hotel really was just fine. I just wouldn't stay there again. But I'll doubt I'll ever make it to that crappy city again. The people at the front desk were nice and spoke English fine. The first thing that hit me when I got to my room was the dingy smell, because who knows how long the AC had been off before I arrived. Luckily it either went away […] or I got used to it once the AC was running. Furniture was kind of old-timey and the bathroom only had a shower. The bed was ok...seemed old and uncomfortable. The location is ok. Look out for the motor bikes!!!!!!!!! Bottom line more like a 3 1/2 star. Meer infoGeverifieerde Expedia gastenbeoordeling
"Rextra, Rextra, Read all about it!"
What an outstanding Grand Hotel. We stayed in one of the new Governors suites on the fifth floor and the room was outstanding. Separate living area, two toilets (handy in Vietnam!) and top quality mattress and pillows. Reception staff were very welcoming and the doormen were always there with a smile. Breakfast service and food was top notch. All tastes […] were catered for. Outside, there is a egg chef (we only found this out, prior to booking, by reading Tripadvisor). Our stay was thoroughly enjoyable. We could not have picked a better location. Walking distance to the Markets, restaurants, museums etc. Only one criticism is the prices charged for food and drinks on the Roof top bar. We weren't that hungry on the Friday evening and decided to visit the rooftop bar for a drink and light meal.200,000 dong (includes 5% service fee plus 10% taxes) for a Tiger draft beer and 160,000 for a bowl of Pho soup is a little on the expensive side. at 8.30p there were only around 20 people on the rooftop. If management reviewed drink prices, I am sure this area would be packed most evenings. Was a little sad to see an excellent 3 piece band playing to an empty house on a Friday evening. By way of comparison, we had Peroni beer (happy hour 5pm to 8pm) on the 51st floor of the Bitexco Financial Tower for 65,000 dong per stubby! The place was packed!

"Last night inVM"
The hotel is absolutely gorgeous. We were checked in quickly. I felt a little uneasy, because we had just travels 6 hours on a bus & were kind of grubby. We did go to our room, which was very, very nice. I was so glad to see a bathtub. We went down for dinner in the cafe & the service was great. However my fried veggie rolls tasted like they had been […] fried in old grease. Then we went to book a train for my daughter. The concierge, was very rude. My daughter had researched the price for taking a train & his cost was twice as much. When she ask him about it, he got very indignant. He kept slamming the phone down, after he would call the train station. We went back in the morning & he had us talk to another man. They gave us 3 prices. I paid for the most expensive one. When we got the ticket, it was for the 2nd priced one. Then we were going to the VN War Museum, when we told the cab driver where we were going, he told us it was closed from 12-1:30. I feel they probably knew this & didn't tell. I was to it would cost about 200,000, it was 350,000. I didn't like the way they disrespected us.

"Rex Hotel - One of the best (conditions applied)"
We arrived quite early (just after 9 AM), which might have given us the avantage of being upgraded to the next (best) room of the hotel on the top (fifth) floor,. Anyway, the room is outstanding, it is more like 1-bedroom apartment with the nearly 180 deg. view. We went out at night (through a window) and took some photos. Being in Sai Gon, it is noisy […] with the window open but it is a different world when they are all closed. Choice for breakfast is comprehensive but we only have Vietnamese breakfast (pho, banh xeo, banh canh ...) and they are outstanding, no comments about other choice; we didn't have enough time to try them but then we probably wouldn't as the Vietnamese buffet is changed every day. There are rooftop bar with good view but we were out most of the time so didn't use it even at night - too tired by then. There is a well-equipped but under-used gym that I used twice to work off all the food and beer (feeling guilty). Locationwise this hotel is good, central to everything, including a Jazz club which I highly recommend. Staff are very friendly and attentive.

This hotel is located in the centre of the city. Conveniently located near shops, bars and restaurants. Rooms in the old wing were spacious. The only (slight) issue we had was that only one of two people were registered for the breakfast buffet, when two of us had checked in. An overheard conversation by another couple had the same issue. This was quickly […] rectified by reception. There seemed to be many non residence of the hotel using the pool facilities, even though there was controls for this. This could of been a problem with the limited amount of pool furniture. Cigarette smoke filled the lobby from the near by casino. This was some what overwhelming at times......

Silk Shantung Big Shirt
a good addition to add to a wardrobe
I am in mid 60s, of average build and needed to dress up my standard dressy black pants for an occasion, and this shirt did the trick.
The fit was accurate, the color and fabric are dressy and best of all it was comfortable. I spent the evening without tugging or worrying about the parts of my older figure that need some camouflaging
November 27, 2013
Rich color and fabric
I agree with the other reviewers that the fabric of this shirt is what makes it special. The color is rich and the quality of the silk is good. I am 5'4" and weigh 138 lbs. I ordered a small petite and it fits fine (true to size). I would have preferred to order a regular small for the longer body length, since the sleeves are 3/4 and wouldn't have been too long despite my shorter height, but the color I wanted (fuchsia) wasn't available in the regular small. Overall I'm not disappointed, but think the buttons could be a bit nicer, which would have made this shirt suitable for special occasions. Considering ordering the turquoise one.

Wish I could have kept it.
Well constructed and beautiful fabric.
Unfortunately, the bust darts started about 2.5 inches from the bottom of the armhole and were much too high on the shirt. If you're an A cup and under 21, it may fit okay. I was sorry to send it back but having the point of the darts practically touching my collarbone was going to drive me crazy. Perhaps I just got a lemon. Also purchased the short silk shirt/jacket. NO darts and no problems there. That one is a 5 Star garment.

So, I started folding on the 8800 too on my Sandy Bridge build. It pulled my CPU PPD down by about 800, but added a good 4k. I'm at 49k PPD now on my folding rig. I'm gonna OC the shaders on the 8800 to see if I can get it to maintain a solid 50k or more PPD.
Local black out here too - mice (I suspect) had my supply cable to the oven for dinner so when wife turn it on it took out the whole house - one -bigadv with a few hours left died. Then our meter was replace (not related) and wife turned everything off but "forgot" to turn it back on. I'm sitting a couple of thousand of miles from it all and all that I see is mostly zero updates.
Thats it guys pulling the plug. Thanks for the help, I will be back in about 60 days or so with a new build once I am moved and set up. Keep up the good work
Okay, maybe this should be in the Folding hardware deals, but I wanted to make sure everyone sees this. I've made the assertion that every Folder, or at least those who have a dedicated rig, should have a watt meter. This is the best price that I can recall. (newegg.com)
High winds causing intermittent power outages here. I am going to leave my computer off until the winds die down this evening.
I used to have the same problem back in 2001-2003, then after the huge fires we had here in 05 and 07 they buried all the power lines in my area.
Finally got my tx750 replaced. Brought my first folding box up, my athlon sli box, just installing windows on it now, then I'll get 2 260s going on it. Next is a 750i sli mobo, and 2 more cards! Think I just need one more psu to get it done....
Yeah, wasn't sure after all this time, and with no receipt, if they would do it. They did. I just started folding on folding box #1, starting with one 260 to test overnight. If it's good, I'll add a 2nd 260. I should get most of my parts for folding box #2 this week. Still need one more psu, arrrg.
So, this is why you guys run open air folding boxes, preferably with big fans... my gtx260 65nm card dropped 10c while folding in my open air box. I can oc it more now! Hmm, I see lots of fun ahead...... Edit: tonight I'm going to go for 4k updates. By tomorrow night I should hit 6k updates. Just won't be able to match that in the daytime until I get my 2nd folding box up. Edit2: ug, forgot how long it takes to update windows, esp dotnet, not enough time to reflash my other 260 tonight, I'll try for tomorrow night..... folding farms are a lot of work!!
I'm going "civilized" on one of my open air cooled rigs in a few days but with water cooling to stay below 60 C. A nice big box of stuff was waiting for me this morning returning from Iran (got plenty of time to order parts there, nothing else to do). My new hex is arriving tomorrow and the case and NB/SB heatsinks are due in next week. I almost got all air out of the system so sometime tomorrow I will be running doing 60 K PPD on that rig. My other rig (be down for 10 days, blame the wife) will resume folding tomorrow as well. Nice to be back....
"My new hex is arriving tomorrow" Oh wait, "down for 10 days" Is it possible to set up Teamviewer and have the system set to auto start so you could check on/restart Folding?
If you can have the system set to auto-start or get your wife to turn it on, you could just place the folding client in start up.
We had two power cuts (short circuit and new meter) and despite my plee for turning the rigs back on she didn't do it. Teamviewer and autostart is not going to help there I trade her for a water cooled 430, any takers?
My only change is W/O pictures. Edit: To her defends I have to say that she started both folding engines (GPU2 and 3) on my GTX 260. It worked but since I didn't setup HFM.net to track both I don't know if the point was better. I will investigate the matter further.
On a somewhat related note, I am working on writing an application right now. The way it works is, you run a tiny (0.5mb or less) client on your system, and you can then go to a website (I will initially host it from my folding rig) and see HFM.NET style realtime folding stats for all machines on which you have the client running. This way, if you are travelling, you do not need to wait for the hourly updates to figure out if you clients have stopped folding. You can just go to the website, even from your cellphone. I should have the first release ready in about a week or so.
Good luck on that that project. Seems like that the uses have to have port open to a third party all the time, or?

Hang tight!
Recipe by Emily H.
"A fairly simple and quick chili recipe!"
Watch video tips and tricks
2 pounds lean ground beef
2 (15 ounce) cans kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1 (11 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
2 cups water
2 jalapeno peppers
1 habanero pepper (optional)
1/2 red onion
2 large cloves garlic
3 tablespoons masa harina flour
1 tablespoon ground cayenne pepper
4 tablespoons chili powder
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 teaspoons white sugar (optional)
I won a Chili Cook-Off at my office with this recipe!
I made this recipe exactly as written. (Well, to be precise, the package of ground beef I used was 2.01 lb.) The beef used was 90% lean, the beans were light red kidney beans, and the black pepper was freshly ground. I also opted for the habanero and the sugar. I cooked the chili for only 45 minutes (the low end of the range given in the recipe) because I was really hungry. This was also the first time I'd ever cooked with both masa harina flour, and a fresh habanero. I thought this chili was okay, but I guess I'll only give it a 3-star rating because the competition is fierce in the chili-recipe world. Corn is not a common ingredient in chili, and though I like corn in general, I would've rather it hadn't been in this chili. On the other hand, the masa harina made the chili somewhat thick, which is a plus in my book, since I hate watery chili. The chili had a somewhat undesirable sweetness to it, so if I make this again, I wouldn't add the "2 tsp. white sugar" after all. Lastly, I used my new electric chopper (not quite a full-fledged food processor) for the first time, and with only a few "pulse"s, the vegetables were pretty finely chopped. Next time I would chop or mince the veggies by hand, since I prefer chili to have a little chunkiness to it, vegetable-wise. In summary, this chili was decent, pretty meaty, and fairly hot with the added habanero. I think I will make another batch of this, since I have the other half of the red onion left, and with the changes mentioned
67 Ratings
This is the BEST chili recipe I've ever made or tasted! Perfect amount of spice. Thanks. For anyone out their looking for a good chili recipe, this is the one!
This was the spiciest, yummiest chili ever! It was very easy to make and not time consuming at all.
My recipe, so of course I love it. But seriously, it's a really good and easy chili to make!
I scaled this recipe to 8 servings. Used 1/2 lb ground sausage in place of 1/2 pound of ground beef. I followed the recipe as stated except for the jalapeno or habanero peppers. I was concerned to would be too spicy for some of the kids eating dinner with us. I did serve the peppers on the side for those to add to their bowls. I felt the chili was very thick. I kept adding water every 15 minutes to try and thin the sauce some. Next time I may add an additional can of tomato sauce. It definitely had some heat even without the peppers.
This was delicious! I had to tweak it a bit for the ingredients I had on hand. I used 1 can kidney beans and 1 can black beans. I only used 3 tbsp of chili powder. I used a yellow onion instead of red. I cut out the flour and peppers. I used garlic powder instead of whole garlic and frozen corn instead of canned. Also, I added 1 can of stewed tomatoes because I am a tomato freak. It turned out so perfect! This is my new go to chili recipe.
allways looking for a good spicy chili recipe, I've found one. thankyou

The Lost Fort of Columbus
On his voyage to the Americas in 1492, the explorer built a small fort somewhere in the Caribbean. A construction contractor from Washington State has spent decades trying to find it
- By Frances Maclean
- Photographs by Les Stone
- Smithsonian magazine, January 2008, Subscribe
Christopher Columbus, anchored somewhere along the island's Atlantic coast, upped sails to begin the long voyage back to Spain with news he had discovered a western route to the Orient. The next day—Christmas, 1492—his flagship, the Santa María, lodged in a reef. He ordered his men to dismantle the ship and build a fort with its timbers onshore. Three weeks later, Columbus finally set sail aboard the Niña, leaving behind a fortified village, christened Villa de la Navidad, and 39 sailors charged with exploring the coast and amassing gold.
A year later, Columbus returned with 17 ships and 1,200 men to enlarge the settlement. But he found La Navidad in ashes. There were no inhabitants and no gold.
Over the years, many scholars and adventurers have searched for La Navidad, the prize of Columbian archaeology. It is believed to have been in Haiti. The French historian and geographer Moreau de Saint-Méry sought La Navidad there in the 1780s and '90s; Samuel Eliot Morison, the distinguished American historian and Columbus biographer, in the 1930s; Dr. William Hodges, an American medical missionary and amateur archaeologist, from the 1960s until his death in 1995; and Kathleen Deagan, an archaeologist at the University of Florida at Gainesville, in the mid-1980s and again in 2003.
And then there's Clark Moore, a 65-year-old construction contractor from Washington State. Moore has spent the winter months of the past 27 years in Haiti and has located more than 980 former Indian sites. "Clark is the most important thing to have happened to Haitian archaeology in the last two decades," says Deagan. "He researches, publishes, goes places no one has ever been before. He's nothing short of miraculous."
Moore first visited Haiti in 1964 as a volunteer with a Baptist group building a school in Limbé, a valley town about ten miles from the northern coast. In 1976, he signed on to another Baptist mission in Haiti, to construct a small hydroelectric plant at a hospital complex in the same town. The hospital's director was Dr. Hodges, who had discovered the site of Puerto Real, the settlement founded circa 1504 by the first Spanish governor of the West Indies. Hodges also had conducted seminal archaeological work on the Taino, the Indians who greeted Columbus. Hodges taught Moore to read the ground for signs of pre-Columbian habitation and to identify Taino pottery.
The Taino, who flourished from a.d. 1200 to 1500, were about 500,000 strong when Columbus arrived. They were reputedly a gentle people whose culture, archaeologists believe, was becoming more advanced. "Taino" means "noble" or "good" in their Arawak language; they supposedly shouted the word to the approaching Spanish ships to distinguish themselves from the warring Carib tribes who also inhabited Hispaniola, the island Haiti shares with the Dominican Republic. Male and female Taino chiefs ornamented themselves in gold, which sparked the Spaniards' avarice. Within a few years of Columbus' arrival, the Taino had all but vanished, the vast majority wiped out by the arduousness of slavery and by exposure to European diseases. A few apparently escaped into the hills.
For two decades Moore has traveled Haiti by rural bus, or tap-tap, with a Haitian guide who has helped him gain access to remote sites. Diminutive Haitian farmers watched with fascination as Moore, a comparative giant at 6-foot-2, measured areas in his yard-long stride and poked the soil with a stick. Often he uncovered small clay icons—a face with a grimace and bulging eyes—known to local residents as yeux de la terre ("eyes of the earth"), believed to date to Taino times and to represent a deity. Moore bunked where he could, typically knocking on church doors. "The Catholics had the best beds," Moore says, "but the Baptists had the best food."
In 1980, Moore showed some of his artifacts to the foremost archaeologist of the Caribbean, Irving Rouse, a professor at Yale. "It was clear Clark was very focused, and once he had an idea, he could follow through," Rouse recalled to me. "Plus he was able to do certain things, such as getting around Haiti, speaking Creole to the locals and dealing with the bureaucracy, better than anyone else." Moore became Rouse's man in Haiti, and Rouse became Moore's most distinguished mentor. Rouse died in February 2006 at age 92.

In the 1960,s I was involved with the removal of the railroad in Haiti. Having read the translations of Columbus's voyages. I received from the Haitian archives a copy of an original map made by the Spaniards in the 1700's. It was showing the true location of Navidad and the locations of a Columbus gold mine. I followed up with several trips to the area with the map and detection equipment,These were turbulent,dangerous times as the Dominican Republic was hunting Communist infiltrators. We dug several test sites,and found the location of Columbus's warehouse.We became side tracked by a young local boy who wanted to show us the place where the Taino indians hid from Columbus. At the location he took us were many artifacts and I located the indians dump site which had many of the clay heads mentioned by others, There were also many axe heads,and stone tools. The Don or owner of the property arrived and was not exactly thrilled that he couldn't extract money from us.and my new SX70 camera did not help win him over, But the trip proved our map to be very exact. The following trip was made with more equipment to search for the homesites of the Spaniards that left Navidad to hunt Indians and gold.After many difficulties with the Dominican Military. We found the general area we were working in the past to have been bull dozed level by the government,which included the leveling and covering of the Columbus warehouse. bleachers were set up and music playing. A concrete monument was placed dedicating the area.The military escorted us to the Fort at Puerto Plata.Eventually we were let to leave but not before pictures were taken.I still keep one framed. While planning another expedition,I read an article in the National Geographic about the area which I knew was a fabrication of nonsense. But phony as it was, it brought a lot of attention to the area,making it impossible for us to complete our intended mission. nothing has been told of our work

We just reread the article from Smithsonian magazine from January 2008 and enjoyed translating it to Spanish. Continued luck for Clark Moore as his persistence is paying off.
Posted by Carrie Aadland and Meredy Fay on January 8,2010 | 05:23 PM
I am thankful to Lourenzo for making me aware of this article. What many people should realize is that there was never a "fort" built at La Natividad. Columbus simply put the Santa Maria ashore and used that as the fort. The Indians later set fire to the Santa Maria when they realized the intruders were not Gods from the sky after all but mortals just like them and got sick of feeding them and had enough of seeing them copulating with their females.
The most appropriate location for the beaching of the Santa Maria is near Caracol Beach, close enough to a fresh water supply and on a location that would afford the sailors good visibility and easy resistance to attacks.
A careful reading of the ship´s log seems to rule out Limonade de Bord de Mer as the location. The ships entered the small channel between the banks in front of Caracol Beach and when Columbus left he then set a route Northwest sailing inside the banks and leaving by the much wither channel that faces today's Cap Haitien.- Manuel Rosa

I would like to say congratulations to Mr. Moore and to leave here information about another great scholar who refused to play the academic game and is rewriting Columbus history in a book titled Colon. La Historia Nunca Contada: www.1492.us.com
Posted by Lourenzo on December 28,2009 | 03:41 PM
Why do modern-day scholars persist in calling the town "La Navidad"? At least two contemporary maps (1492 - Columbus and 1610 - Mercator) identify it clearly as "La Natividad". Not trying to smash any icons... I just want to know - maybe there IS a reason. Thanks for any responses. ABE

Loved the article. I am a missionary in St. Raphael, Haiti. You should see what I found. I believe it ties into the "big" picture.
Posted by Harry Peart on August 6,2009 | 09:36 AM
The gentleman that Moore mentions - Dr. William Hodges - built a small museum behind Bon Samaritain Hospital in the town of Limbe (only a few miles from Cap-Haitian). The museum is small and is usually remains locked-up as there is limited interest from the locals in its contents. There is also a small university - Universite Chretienne du Nord d'Haiti (Moore originally traveled to Haiti to build on its campus) - that has expressed interest in developing a program in the social sciences and Haitian pre-history. With greater interest from individuals in the US, Europe, and elsewhere, Moore's and Hodges' work and the work of others could be expanded, and much of the material anthropology preserved.

As a student at Western Washington State College in 1969-71; it was a Professor Robert Keller who encourage us to focus and search for truth. This Columbus search and article by " Professor " Moore, through Maclean is an example of the finer finish in continual education/knowledge, that seekers of truth with artifacts shall set the stages for the re-greening of the planet by visionary doers. Haiti, is an inspiration to humanity, when properly understood; that humans must be liberated from tyranny , then and now. And for the nay sayers to what is being shared, ideas are for thrashing out that we may see and find a more humane course in life. Do we want to continue the destruction of the planet, or do, as Mr. Moore, the reconstruction of vital human links , including, Orginal people of the Americas.As an African, the Spiritual connection is important to evolve the " Mothering of the earth.

I'm pleased with the article by Mr. Frances Maclean on Mr. Moore"The Lost Fort of Columbus". I do beleive some of the account of Mr Moore, but I have some reservation about the number of Indians sites. Mr Moore has located 980 former Indians sites. It would be informative/educational if he had been able to be somewhat specific as to where some of those sites are. I'm haitian, I'd love to have an idea where exactly some of these sites are located. Smithsonian, by the way is a wonderful magazine. Keep u the good work.
Posted by Jean-Claude Charles on April 6,2008 | 07:57 AM
While an interesting article, there either isn't enough detail given or it seems that Moore is making sweeping generalizations about some of the things he is investigating. And there is a reason for the empirical method in archaeological excavations-- just poking a stick in the ground and pulling out artifacts is not an effective nor scientifically useful process, and only serves to ruin the integrity of a site.
