Philosophy Weekend: Nelson Mandela and F. W. de Klerk
I wonder if all the glory that's been heaped upon Nelson Mandela since his death on Thursday is hurting his feelings. This level of adulation has got to be hard for anyone to endure, living or dead.
Well, the glory is well-deserved, but just for the sake of originality I'd like to celebrate two South Africans today: Nelson Mandela and his political opponent and partner F. W. de Klerk, the last white President of South Africa, who had the courage to take the steps to negotiate an end to apartheid. De Klerk's courage was very different from Nelson Mandela's, but it's no less worthy of praise.
Unlike Nelson Mandela, Frederik Willem de Klerk didn't really look like a hero. He was 18 years younger than Nelson Mandela, but his body shape and physical presence made him look 18 years older. Mandela spent 27 years in jail; de Klerk spent nearly his entire life as a politician in the government that kept Mandela there. Mandela was the son of a Xhosa chief; de Klerk's last name means "the clerk".

Jagged on Family Tree Circles
Journals and Posts
Looking for Mary Ann MARZOL of Lismore NSW
I am looking for stories on the life and times of Mary Ann MARZOL.
Mary was born in 1872 to John MARZOL and Christina GRIESINGER in Rocky Mouth, Richmond River NSW....now known as Woodburn.
She was christened Christina after her mother, but was always called Mary.
Her first two children died young.
Her third child Alfred was given away.
She then married Walter GOODSELL in 1901 and they had 7 children.
Mary died in 1923.
Does anyone know my Mary?
Looking for the Father of Alfred MARZOL of Lismore NSW
Alfred MARZOL (Marsol) was born in Lismore NSW in 1897.
He was the 3rd child of (unmarried) Mary A MARZOL. His birth certificate, nor that of his older brother Charles and sister Mary, does not name his father.
Mary MARZOL later married Walter GOODSELL in 1901 in Lismore NSW. They had 7 children: Dulcie, Ellen, Louisa, Maria, Walter, George and Ethel.
Alfred MARZOL changed his name to MARSDEN during war time. Maybe it sounded too german, and maybe it was a blend of the names Marsol and Dean, the people who adopted/raised him.
He was a driver with a Field Company of Engineers during the First World War.
He also served in the Airforce in the Second World War.
He married Ivy Kathleen TANNER, a munitions worker, on 9/2/1918 at Knowle, Bristol. His address at the time was Brightlingsea, Colchester. He brought his bride back to Australia and they had 6 children. The relationship ended in divorce after Ivy fled to NZ.
Alfred married a second time in 1941 to Beryl Alexandrena STAFF and had another 6 or 8 children.
Any information would be appreciated as I have come to a stop on that branch of my family tree.
Looking for MORTIMER of Buckinghamshire, England.
I am researching the ancestors of William Hamor MORTIMER, born in 1863 in Nether Winchendon, Buckinghamshire, England.
His parents were Robert and Elizabeth MORTIMER (nee HALL) from Twyford, Buckinghamshire, England
William married Fanny BACKSHALL in 1884 in Ardingley, Sussex.
William 22, Fanny 30 and Florence (under 12 months) arrived in Sydney Australia from Plymouth aboard the SS Chimborazo on the 5th July 1885.
They had market gardens at Botany, Sydney.
William and Fanny had 5 children - Florence, Alice, William, Edith and Mary.
After Fanny died in 1907, William married Jessica Agnes AUSTEN and made their home in Burrawang NSW.
William and Jessie had 5 children - Jean, Jim, Joseph, Elsie and Margaret.
He died in 1947.
Any information, whether ancestor or descendant, would be appreciated.

I spent a long time trying to troubleshoot my mailing lists until I discovered this unusual gmail behaviour.
Gmail does not display messages that have been sent from a mailing list – if you posted them to that list. This happens even though the mailing list software may modify them extensively (by adding to the Subject line, or adding a footer, for example)
It will also not display messages that were forwarded from another account that were initially sent by you.
There is no indication anywhere that these messages exist. They are invisible in Mail and Trash and Spam
If you want to test out a mailing list, you will need to post from another non-gmail account.
This may save you some time.

Hang tight!
Recipe by USA WEEKEND columnist Jean Carper
"Broccoli is stir-fried with water chestnuts with a fragrant citrus sauce."
Watch video tips and tricks
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon canola oil
1 1/2 cups broccoli florets, bite-size
1/2 cup sliced or chopped water chestnuts, drained
1/2 cup orange juice
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon light soy sauce
Super easy, I skipped the water chestnuts. One note, don't add the sauce mixture if the pan is still on high/medium heat. Yummy!
easy to make, but my family did not care for it.
45 Ratings
I'm not really a water chestnut fan, so I left that part out, but other then that, this was pretty good. I used dark soy sauce, some minced garlic, and a little grated orange rind. Very flavourful :)
Very quick and really easy. Simple flavors of the orange and broccoli are good together.
I didn't use the water chestnuts as I was making just a single serving, but I think that would make it a better presentation and more of a dish for guests. Because many of the reviewers said the sauce became too thick when added to the skillet, I used the same amount of orange juice called for but only half the cornstarch. Some brown sugar for a bit of sweetness would be good to mellow the sharpness of the orange. My rating would actually be 3.5 for this.
Not a bad recipe, but it really did need to be seasoned not to mention more soy sauce. Would I make this again? Probably not, but it was worth at least trying, giving the ease of prep.
Loved it made it with sesame tilapia. I steamed the broccoli first then followed the recipe. We loved it.
great. easy - kids loved it. made with tofu, as well as broccoli. yum.

[[ I hope you mean to imply that serial concentrators are the proprietary solution. ]] Today you shouldn't rely on an IPMI 1.5 implementation picked at random to perform reliable serial-over-LAN. Going further, I would advise against using any IPMI network commands while the host OS is running. Instead you should communicate with the host OS, and use it to performan the IPMI commands using the KCS or MCS interface. If the host OS isn't running, then using standard IPMI features is reliable (*). Serial-over-LAN has a good chance of work well enough for BIOS setup and observing the boot failure. If the host OS should be running but is not responding to network traffic, then it's safe to reset the machine or shut down the power using IPMI. (You don't care if you lose timer ticks or drop packets.)

GARY CHAMBERS MEMORIAL RUGBY GAME Gary was a gentle giant, a kind soul, spending his life loving, supporting and caring for his family and friends. It is no coincidence that his rugby position was a prop because that perfectly describes his character. A props job is to hold up and support other teammates and without a prop, the scrum collapses. For all of those that knew Gary, he definitely was their "prop". Gary had an inherent passion for rugby, cherishing every aspect of the physical game, even its many bumps, bruises and injuries. Gary was a very proud member of the Saltfleet Storm Rugby team; his involvement allowed him to be a pivotal member of the 2005 OFSAA Gold Medal squad as well as travel on three different rugby tours (British Columbia, Ohio, and the United Kingdom). He was a big brother to all that knew him and if ever anybody needed help, Gary was there. He was everybody's protector. And ironically, the boy with the big heart died of an enlarged heart on October 28th, 2005. The 8th Annual Gary Chambers Memorial Game will be held on Saturday, June 1st 2013 at Saltfleet High School. With the passing of another year, the time has come to share in another great day surrounded by the presence of good friends, watching some hard hitting rugby matches, and enjoying delicious barbeque. As with previous years, the Stoney Creek RFC is proud and honored to host the event, as many of Gary's former teammates and coaches are still playing rugby with the club. There will be plenty of rugby to observe throughout the entire day with the Stoney Creek Men battling the Oakville Crusaders and the Stoney Creek Women taking on the Brantford Harlequins. Kick off times are as follows: Women – 12:00pm Men's C – 12:00pm Men's B – 1:30pm Men's A – 3:00pm The memorial part of the day will take place prior to the Men's A game at 3:00pm with a moment of silence honoring and celebrating the life of Gary Chambers. There will be a BBQ set up, coolers full of beverages, along with a 50/50 Draw. There is no cost for the event however donations would be greatly appreciated. All proceeds raised on this day will be donated to the Heart & Stroke Foundation in memory of Gary. Interested in Volunteering? Have Some Questions? Feel free to contact Allison Morris at email@example.com via email or message her on Facebook.

Here are all the links we liked last week!
- In case you've been hiding under a rock, or chained to a bed (lucky!) all weekend you probably already know that the state of New York legalized gay marriage late Friday night. You could read any number of articles about this historic vote, but we prefer this animated report from the geniuses at Taiwan News.
- Speaking of marriage, we wonder what the creator of this "feminist wedding dress" thinks about tying the knot.
- A new study claimed that women's "gaydar" functions best during ovulation, while another suggested that women are more likely to achieve simultaneous orgasm when their male partners are hot.
- From hot to cold. Nearly 400 people in Wales stripped off and jumping into freezing water to break the world's record for the largest skinny dip and to raise funds for cancer research.
- Our friend Jamye Waxman reported on five reasons why porn might be teaching you bad sex. And they're not the reasons you might think.
- Despite what you've seen in movies, time travel and sex just don't mix. That's what a new study of brine shrimp (sea monkeys!) indicated anyways.
- Cracked investigated the ancient art of the dick joke, showing that penis drawings and potty humor are older than we think.
- Over 4,500 furries returned to Pittsburgh last weekend for the 6th annual Anthrocon. The city expected to make $5.3 million from the event, and hotels were packed, with attendees sleeping four to a room at the Westin. Woof!
- Like old-fashioned guys? Check out My Daguerreotype Boyfriend.
- "When Shubin was a 17-year-old high school student, his stepmother became pregnant with twins. Doctors advised her not to engage in sex throughout the high-risk pregnancy—so Shubin's father, Steve, nosed around for an alternative form of release. When Steve couldn't locate a realistic stand-in vagina on the market, he began drawing plans to craft his own."
Yes, that's the origin story for the Fleshlight, the world's most popular male masturbation toy.
- Food porn? Queerty dug up this clip from "Cooking with Beefcake Too!" a bawdy cooking video from the 80s, hosted by a lecherous Jaye P. Morgan.
- Crystal at Autostraddle shared her top 10 lesbian romance novels.
- The Beaver Whisperer talked about STIs in the lesbian community.
- As numerous gossip sites informed us, Jennifer Love Hewitt is a proud customer of our LA store. But where is this Pleasure Chest "bar" the paparazzi are talking about? We're thirsty!
- Last, but by no means least, Weird Al Yankovic released his long-awaited parody of Lady Gaga, proving that he can out-queer the reigning queen of pop.

Rated 2 out of 5 by MRJF Beautiful piece, but not really wearable
This is such a cool and beautiful sweater and it pained me to return it. It fit overall, but the neck was too snug for me and the metallic thread was too scratchy; a tough combination. I guess it might have been better to try it on with a high collar camisole, but I just felt too claustrophobic in it. When I took the sweater off I had red scratches all over my chest. I really wanted to like it and keep it, but for the price it wasn't worth the discomfort.

Giorgio Armani has been battling hepatitis behind closed doors. The secretive recovery sent whispers that he Italian designer was falling from fashion grace. To clear the air Giorgio himself has released a statement.
Per Reuters:
"I have in fact suffered from hepatitis by poisoning, which, certainly is not a rare illness. Nevertheless it is one which requires some time for a complete recovery. My commitment both on the creative and management side has never relented," he said.
"Consequently there has been no shift in delegation of my authorities to any one of the executives and everything in the company is proceeding with the usual energy."
Thank the fashion gods. I am glad it wasn't the dirty kind of hepatitis. On a side note I had my 12 year old cousin convinced she'd get hepatitis if she didn't wear panties and this turned into a small outbreak of fear of public toilets and penchant for granny panties and simultaneously proved I should never be in charge of small children.

Anyone got an external Hard Drive with a Macbook pro? Don't want to buy one which won't work on it.
They'll all work on a Mac, you don't need a special drive.Bought a few Western Digital Elements drives over the past few years, they've been reliable, not very aesthetically pleasing, but quite cheap.
Ah okay, thanks, didn't want to buy one and find out it wouldn't work.
They won't work initially, you'll need to format them for Mac OS Extended (Journaled) in disk utility to get the hard disk recognized.
Make sure its FAT32 mate. Not NTFS.
Ahh right, is that easy to do?
Dead easy. Don't worry about that
2TB seagate external hard drive from tesco direct for £67 delivered with this code TDX-H4JW if anyone's interested.
Has the price of external HDDs fallen in price again. Just found PC World selling a WD 2TB HDD for £69.99 delivered?
make sure you get one which extracts power from the usb source.pain in the arse otherwise.
Explain mate as im after another hard drive, simple as a backup to my slave drive as id be destroyed if i lost a 100gb of music. Just one to copy it all onto and then put it in a drawer.
I've had about a dozen, WD, Seagate and currently using a Samsung Story, it is the only one that has lasted longer than 5 years. One feature to look for is an on/off switch, the WD MyBook series look nice but don't have one and would often not be picked up by Windows. ps. I have an 126GB SSD (intel) and 256 GB SSD (OCZ Vertex), they are fricking awesome for gaming.
Some advice required if possible. Is it posible to buy an external hard drive with a viewing screen/small monitor. I am plugging straight into a music system via USB port so need to be anbe to select the tracks.

1st President to mention Latinos in speech to Congress is only one who lived among Mexican-Americans in Texas
Monday, February 4th, 2013Loved this story by Russell Contreras, and wanted to share it since Texas is part of the great Southwest.
He writes:
1st President to mention Latinos in speech to Congress is only one who lived among them
"I speak tonight for the dignity of man and the destiny of democracy," the President Lyndon Johnson began.
It was March 15, 1965, a week after the nation saw on television Alabama state troopers violently attack peaceful black marchers protesting voting rights discrimination. The bloody images shocked the nation. They also horrified Johnson, the former Senate majority leader who had been lukewarm on civil rights at best.
The violence sparked Johnson into addressing Congress about the immediate need for a new Voting Rights bill. It what would later be called the best speech of a his presidency and one that brought Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. to tears.
It was also the first speech to Congress in U.S. history that mentioned Latinos and their struggle against poverty and discrimination—something Johnson saw firsthand as a young teacher in a Mexican American school. And it also brought a number Mexican-American civil rights leaders to tears.
But those historic words are often overlooked.
Johnson's long conversion began when his father, a former state lawmaker, was hit hard financial times and his family was forced into near poverty in Johnson City, Texas. To help the family, Johnson worked in the cotton fields along side African Americans and Mexican Americans.
When it was time for Johnson to attend college, the University of Texas just wasn't an option. It was too expensive. So, Johnson enrolled at Southwest Texas State Teachers College in San Marcos, Texas (today called Texas State). But Johnson still struggled with the tuition.
After his freshman year, a 19-year-old Johnson took a teaching job in Cotulla, a small South Texas town where the majority of students were poor and Mexican American.
But the young, idealistic Johnson was appalled by what he saw among his 5th, 6th, and 7th graders at the Welhausen School. Not only were his students dirt poor, he quickly saw how the town's whites treated them like second-class citizens. Whites encourage the Latino students to stay home and become laborers like their parents. Other whites educators complained that the students did nothing but carry dirt, lice and disease.
"I am not going to stand here and tell you that they are the best people on the face of the earth," one congressman said of Mexican Americans at the time Johnson was in Cotulla.
They treated Mexicans "just worse than you'd treat a dog," Johnson would say later in life. Her remembered "the Mexican children going through a garbage pile, shaking the coffee ground from the grapefruit rinds and sucking the rinds for the juice that was left."
But an energetic Johnson decided that he could still convert his students into believers of the American Dream. He organized athletic teams, pushed literary clubs and repeatedly told them all they could all reach high school, a rarity for Mexican Americans at the time.
When he got his first paycheck, he didn't spend it on himself. He bought playground equipment.
Johnson told one student, Felipe Gonzalez, that one day he would be an attorney. Meanwhile, he tutored English to the school janitor.
"He used to tell us that this country was so free that anyone could become President who was willing to work hard enough," his former student Dan Garcia recalled.
But deep down, Johnson knew his students had a difficult road ahead. In nearby towns, the Ku Klux Klan ruled by terror. In addition, segregation prevented Mexican Americans from good schools, college and everyday life.
Johnson later become a congressional aid, a congressman himself and later a U.S. senator. On his road to become the country's most powerful Senate majority leader in its history, however, Johnson sought to appease Southern segregationists with speeches and his actions. He quietly helped a family of Mexican American soldier Felix Longoria, who was killed in action in WWII but refused burial service by a white-owner funeral home, get a spot in Arlington National Cemetery
As President Obama prepares next week to address Congress and to urge lawmakers to pass comprehensive immigration reform, it's important to remember that whatever he says, it was Johnson who spoke from the soul, even when he knew it would hurt him politically later. But for Johnson it didn't matter in 1965. That's because 1928 and those students were with him, and always would be.

The Best Science Writing Online 2012
Showcasing more than fifty of the most provocative, original, and significant online essays from 2011, The Best Science Writing Online 2012 will change the way...

This story was originally published by Inside Science News Service.
(ISNS) -- Scientists are pushing to create a space-based quantum communications network that could enable impossible-to-monitor transmissions.
In doing so, they might make it possible for someone named Scotty to really teleport some information into space.
It would be enough "to spook" Albert Einstein, said Thomas Jennewein of the University of Waterloo in Ontario, one of the top researchers in the field.
The encryption research could have immediate practical implications. The process would make use of entangled photons, what Einstein--who resisted the consequences of quantum theory until his death --called "spooky action at a distance."
"If we can use correlations between entangled photons to establish a quantum key, it could be used for secure communications," said Jennewein.
Einstein and two colleagues theorized in 1935 that if you had two quantum systems that interacted, such as two atoms in a molecule, and then separated them, they would remain entangled, meaning their properties would be inextricably linked. Measuring one atom would instantly produce a change in the other no matter how far apart they were.
Einstein believed that there was a universal speed limit: nothing could travel faster than light so he thought such communication—"spooky action"—would be impossible.
But in 1972, a group of U.S. scientists showed that is exactly what happens, at least over the short distances of their laboratory experiment.
Decades before, another physics giant, Werner Heisenberg, proposed in his famous uncertainty principle that merely observing a particle or otherwise disturbing it changes its properties, and--according to quantum theory--so instantly would that of its entangled twin.
Common encryption involves using keys, series of numbers, and letters that code and decode messages. The sender has one key that encrypts the message; the person receiving the message has another which decodes it.
Scientists can envision sending beams of quantum signals from one place to another to produce encryption keys, but there is a problem.
Quantum communications signals have not been able to travel very far on Earth. The current record is 89 miles set in the Canary Islands by Jennewein and a team, then of the University of Vienna. The problem is transmission loss or scattering in the atmosphere.
Even using fiber-optic cables is not the answer, according to Joshua Bienfang, at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, another expert in the field. The chances of a single photon traveling safely more than around 250 miles in a fiber-optic cable is slim, he said.
That's why Jennewein and other researchers are looking to space, where the beams would not scatter in the vacuum. His lab, among others, now has produced a design for such satellites that would test that out.
Jennewein describes a system in which a device in a satellite creates entangled photon pairs and simultaneously transmits one of each pair to two ground stations in beams of millions of photons, all in entangled quantum states. That means both stations should have the same key.
The two stations would compare them. If the transmissions were not intercepted or modified by an eavesdropper, the two keys should be identical. The sender can then send a conventionally encrypted message secure in the knowledge no one is listening.
But, if there is any alteration in the keys, which would happen if anyone intercepted the key message, Heisenberg's theory would strike, and the photons would be altered. The two parties would know if there was an eavesdropper and either resend the keys or try another system.
Several corporations and government research facilities around the world are working on similar satellite systems.
