Just the fact that everyone knows what I mean when I say "The Iron Brigade" suggests just how exceptional fighters the men of the Iron Brigade were. But, if the Iron Brigade had fought in the Army of the Tennessee instead of in the Army of the Potomac, wouldn't it have been simply known as X Brigade Y Division Z Corps? Weren't western men just better fighters? And, wasn't the average soldier in the Army of Northern Virginia just tougher than the average soldier in the Army of the Potomac? So, since the two armies faced off against one another the Army of the Potomac made its generals look even worse than they really were and the Army of Northern Virginia made its generals look even better than they really were? This is one aspect of the civil war that is not talked about. So Grant, Sherman and Thomas shone out west and McClellan, Burnside and Hooker didn't shine when leading the Army of the Potomac. So Grant when he came East suddenly started turning in huge casualty lists whereas before (with the exception of Shiloh) he was not involved in similar blood-baths. So John Bell Hood suddenly looked extremely bad when he attacked the western armies the same way he had so successfully assaulted the Army of the Potomac. But, against the Armies of the Tennessee, Ohio and Cumberland he failed miserably. This is something I haven't heard any historians mention. Jae |

Welcome, Jae! Very good points - I like the way you think. I hold that, in general, southern and western soldiers were superior soldiers by nature of their upbringing - superior horsemen, superior shots. Need to qualify that a bit, but it's getting close to time for the pretty cars to start their engines (NASCAR), so I'll have to hold off for now. Glad to have you aboard, Joanie Last edited on Sun Nov 11th, 2007 07:41 pm by JoanieReb |

We're getting awfully close to southern suppositions when we characterize the paper collar soldiers as mudsills, grease monkeys and merchants. They were perhaps more diverse in their prewar occupations than their western counterparts, but they weren't that diverse. Grierson was a music teacher, Quantrill was a teacher. Most of the Iowa boys were farmers but there was a fair tint of boatmen, dockworkers and mechanics in there as well. Many of the Illinois boys came from Chicago, Wisconsin from Milwaukee, Michigan from Detroit. I don't think the boys from Maine, Vermont and New Hampshiire were any less tough than the boys from Ohio, Indiana and Minnesota. I generally figure that it was the eastern leadership and fixation on reviews that tipped it. Grant had a devil of a time whipping his first regiment into shape. He satisfied himself with getting them to act like a unit and didn't bother with the length of the step on the march. Sherman made much the same decision. He had no use for the casualness of the westerner but, like Grant, he gave up on the regs in favor of simply getting them all to march in the same direction. In the east, where they were under the eyes of society and government, they were constrained to act like the books said soldiers should act: banners, button that blouse. But I don't think they were actually softer than the westerner. They just didn't have Grant, Sherman and Thomas. ole |

Just a quick thought on one of the reason I think westerners were generally a touch tougher. THe distances they were used to were considerably greater than in the East. A 5 mile hike was nothing to those boys, they were so used to itthat when it came time to double quick they didn't even think twice about it... in fact they had a tendency to hohum it. THis was true of westerners on both sides of the equation. |

Excellent point, Shane. Are you saying that western farms were larger and therefore farther apart? ole |

Anyone posting on this board can see my opinion on this matter expressed resolutley in my response to the Lee overated question. In that post I expressed my own opinion of the folly of the idea that the members of the PFI were, taken as a whole, superior or inferior in chacterizing them in such broad terms as eastern vs. western. Though I expressed this opinion, or rather the opinion that such an opinion was based on faulty logic, I did not give the reasoning behind it. Therefore I will express it as best I can lest the board have too few arguments posed against the idea. First, the idea that westerners, because they were used to walking greater distances in pre-war life, were inherently better marchers than those in the east. Freemantle expressed in his writings the fact that no Texans wanted to become infantry. This was because, as he put it, Texans never walked anywhere-they rode a horse. While a generalization, there is some truth to it. As a result, men were mustered into "cavalry" regiments, that were post-haste "converted"into infantry. Basically they "duped" the men into believing they were to be cavalry when they went off to fight when there was no intention of them being used as anything other than infantry. (this is also true of some members of the Orphan Brigade). I don't think I need say what a hard marching group Hood's Texans turned into being. Further, though perhaps used to longer distances, those westerners most likely weren't carrying the amount of weight they would end up having in military life. Westerners had to adjust to it the same as easterners. The westerners might then be said to have some small initial advantage over the short term, but over the long term this advantage would dwindle into nothingness. As to the hardiness of troops, remember that the eastern theater was bloodier than the western theater. Exceptions occurr of course, as some of the bloodiest battles were indeed in the west, however taken as a whole the east was the greater slaughterhouse for the PFI to enter. Also, the rural men were more succeptible to disease than their urban counterparts, never having been exposed to as many diseases prior to service. Much is made of shooting ability as well related to rural vs. urban men. Indeed, given the lack of formalized target training given recruits, on the surface it would seem to be the most valid of the arguments. Rural men, with prior experience with firearms would make the better shots, obviously. Alas, as Clausewitz so elegantly terms it, for friction. Yes, friction, the element of war that makes the simple things-for war is simple as Clausewitz states-difficult. Men with prior shooting experience did not have COMBAT experience. When they were hunting or target practicing, they lacked the elements of friction that would in many cases render their experience negligible. That is, instead of being in quiet surrounds, with no mortal danger, they were being shot at. Friction, as stated above, would manifest itself in the smoke obscuring visibility, the splattering of blood from a friends head as it is smashed open by a minie, the terrible crying and screeching of horribly mutalated men, the buzzing and humming as bullets pass by, cursing and orders being passed down the line, and men jostling and bumping into one another on the volley line. Some small advantage may still exist, but it would be relatively small I think. Could the westerners of the federal armies have triumphed in the confusion of the Wilderness, the carnage of the muleshoe, or carried the confederate works at Cold Harbor? I think not. The men that worked the docks, that taught school, that worked factories in civilian life died just as bravely and horribly as a whole than the yeoman farmer. At least, that is my opinion, and others may disagree. I am, as always, open and waiting for disagreement by other posters... Last edited on Mon Nov 12th, 2007 05:56 am by Kentucky_Orphan |

Ole, not so much that farms were farther apart but towns were, a I said a 5 mile cross country hike was nothing to those boys. Kentucky Orphan has struck on some very valid points... not much I think I would disagree on... least not now. |

William Manchester, the historian, who was in the Marine Corps claims that the Marines deliberately recruited in the south because southerners just made better fighters. This was true at least up until World War II. Let's get back to my original example of the Iron Brigade. Why did a brigade made up of Westerners make such a name for themselves as tough fighters? Did they receive special training? Were they hand picked? Or were they just western? I myself work in an office, and I'll freely admit that a cowboy or farmer who has had a much tougher time of it physically could kick my citified butt. And what of the Spartans? Why were they such great fighters? Was it coincidence that Spartan ideology stressed physical hardship? Lee was a great general. So was Stonewall Jackson. But why was every single general assigned to the Army of the Potomac a disappointment? Why did Beauregard, Longstreet and Hood fare so much worse in the west than they did in the east? I believe greater physical hardship made better foot soldiers out of southerners and westerners. Yes there were farmers and miners from the Eastern states, but a greater percentage of the easterners were "citified". Jae |

I love the Iron Brigade. It's my favorite brigade to follow in all my civil war studies. The story of its initiation to battle at Brawner Farm against the Stonewall Brigade is truly inspirational and heroic. Jae, I know what you are saying when you mention Iron Brigade and you get instant name recognition. However, the men of the Irish Brigade, the Pennsylvania Bucktails, Berdan's Sharpshooters, even the Excelsior Brigade, to name a few, were excellent fighters. You'll have a hard time convincing me that a lumberjack from the 150th Pa. is less of a man, or a fighter, than a cheesehead from the 2nd Wisconsin, just because the cheesehead came from the west. By suggesting that men from the west were better fighters because of their environment, you might could draw a logical parallel that men from the east were smarter fighters because they were closer to Harvard and Yale. It really doesn't wash. This is where I totally agree with Ole and Kentucky. You might have a stronger argument trying to convince me the general leadership of the AofP failed those very same men miserably in the early years of the war. Don't forget that one of those leaders, John Pope, came from success in the west and turned into mush in the east. The Union men who threw themselves against Marye's Heights in wave after fruitless wave doesn't suggest a lack of soldierly bearing to me in any way, shape or form, but rather uncommon valor — and less than brilliant leadership. You probably don't want to compare Grant's casualty list with anybody's, and especially with Lee's, whose casualty lists were, by percentage, higher than Grant's. Grant never had a day like Antietam, or the second day of Gettysburg. Lee, by contrast, was there for both. The Union army also became strong marchers, particularly when Meade took command. We discussed briefly this summer Sedgwick's 6th Corps, which marched 35 miles in 19 hours on its way to join the fight at Gettysburg. Not bad for 'citified' softies. Pound for pound, sinew for sinew, tear for tear, I think the men from the east were no better and no worse than men from the west or the south. That is verified by any Civil War cemetery you care to visit. |

An environment has a lot to do with how a man turns out. Jae |

I hope I am able to state this in a way thatis not perceived as offensive to any one . The more rural areas of Civil War era America as well as tody have a more spiritual based culture. As in a man is as good as his word, a hand shake is sufficient a contract is not needed. So in this case the westerners and the sotherners were more likely to be less educated and shared a more close ideoligy as far as dedication to cause, and comrads. IMHO this is reflected in the interpetaion of an order to hold to the last. The less urbanized commander or soldier may be more prone to interpet that to mean untill all hope to hold is lost, amore rural commander or soldier may interpet it to mean untill all personel are lost. I still feel as stated in the Lee over rated thread that good leaders with good subordinates, leading good properly trained and equipped troops will win the day. I have rambled long enough. Once again my opinions and no offense intended. I can talk about rural people 'cause I r one. |

The success that the Confederate forces achieved had more to do with the leadership at so many levels of their ranks. Another important factor was the fact that in the first year(s) 61 - 62 the North was not as resolute in their conviction for prosecuting the war as compared to the Southern troops.... they knew their purpose in being there. Many of the leaders starting with the top guy (McClellan) was not at all enthused about pursing the fight. He, resolute as a northern Democrat had hopes that the conflict would be resolved politically. This lack of commitment was felt throughout his command and it trickeled down through the ranks. Just as in so many wars since, where the fighters with an intense purpose and conviction for their cause, were able to overcome the odds in manpower, resources and wealth, prevailed over their adversaries. ie Vietnam |

Examine how the western Federals reacted at Bald Hill and Bentonville when they learned the rebels were in their rear. Can any of the eastern Federals make the same claim? ____________________ "Cleburne is here!" meant that all was well. -Daniel Harvey Hill |

J, I am a huge fan, of the Iron Brigade. I have recently read the following two books, both of which I would recommend to anyone who is interested in this fighting unit. I am sure most of you know, that the Iron Brigade, was originally christened the Black Hat Brigade, as they wore the same hats as the U.S. Army Regulars. They earned the moniker, Iron Brigade, at South Mountain.
The Iron Brigade, like so many of the Confederate Brigades, were from one geographic area. It was common with the Union Army to assign regiments to brigades, not by geography, but somewhat randomly, as they arrived in Washington, Cairo, or any other mustering in point. The Iron Brigade, being from a small geographic area, wanted their parents, friends and neighbors to be proud of their service. They did not want to ever be known for running from their enemy. Rebel brigades were assembled much the same way - most brigades, especially in the ANV, were from a single state. This gave the men the same desires to make their home folks proud. Assembling brigades, in this manner would often compensate for a weak brigade commander. The soldiers would take the initiative to fight to the last. Besides having a lot of political generals, the eastern Union armies being assembled, such as they were, often did not have common roots, at the brigade level. This combined with weak leadership often failed the brigade when they need to perform under fire. Lastly, a common ethnic heritage would also act to bond a brigade. Case in point, was the Irish Brigade (66th NY, 69th NY, 88th NY and 116th PA). While Thomas Meager was a great recruiter, speaker and advocate for his brigade, he was not the best tactician when it came to fighting. However, even with their smoothbore muskets, this was one heck of a fighting brigade. They added a boxwood sprig to their hats, and charged, nearly to the sunken road, at Fredericksburg - further than any other brigade. The last thing any of these soldiers wanted to do is turn and run. They did not want to jeopardize their reputation an home, or in the Army of the Potomac. Thanks for the bandwidth! Mike Noirot |

I've long been a Western Theater advocate, and I think the soldiers on both sides in the West were an impressive lot when it came to fighting. Better than their Eastern cousins? Well, consider a point that I think James McPherson has made, where he outlines how most of the war's bloodiest battles were fought in the East, and compares the casualty figures between the two theaters. In short, the eastern soldiers endured death and bloodshed on a scale unmatched by most of their western counterparts. And by and large, kept coming back and shouldering the musket. Even long after the innocence of 1861 had vanished. So I think we sell short the ability and resolution of the eastern soldier at our peril. I agree with the idea that we should look mainly to the leadership. The soldiers, North and South, East and West, were about on par with each other when given the proper leadership. I like what Ole said early in this thread along that line: In the east, where they were under the eyes of society and government, they were constrained to act like the books said soldiers should act: banners, button that blouse. But I don't think they were actually softer than the westerner. They just didn't have Grant, Sherman and Thomas. That's an excellent point. In general, the Union solider in the West, and the Confederate soldier in the East, both had the experience and habit of victory instilled early on. I think this probably had an impact as the war went on. In the East, you get the sense that soldiers in the Army of the Potomac had their hopes dashed so many times that they began to expect it. Through no fault of their own, they had the habit of failure instilled early on. Then when, after the Wilderness, Grant makes a point to ride ahead of the marching column and show them that they were heading forward instead of backward, as they had so often done after battle, they cheered him to the echo. They were willing to fight. All they wanted was the leader who would actually lead. It's very similar for the Confederates in the West. A superb group of men who, by and large, had the recurring bad luck of serving under commanders who proved less than equal to the task. Perry |

Oone of the best Civil War books I've read is "The Men Stood Like Iron: How the Iron Brigade won its name" by Lance Herdegen. It quotes from primary sources (Rufus Dawes' letters, et.al.) that allow a reader inside the soldier's mind at the time. Has anyone else read it? |

Read a different Herdegen book, "In the Bloody Railroad Cut." Have another by Nolan but can't recall if I've read it or not. If yours is like mine, it is riveting. (Of course, it doesn't hurt to read about a brigade from the old stomping grounds. ole |

SAN DIEGO (AP) - The brother of a Navy officer has been charged with stabbing him to death at a San Diego apartment.
U-T San Diego (http://bit.ly/11gQURW ) says 21-year-old Zachary Tenorio of Guam was ordered held without bail during a court hearing Wednesday. His arraignment was delayed after his lawyer requested more time for the family to work out legal representation.
Tenorio is charged with murdering Ensign Jonathan Tenorio of Guam, a Naval Academy graduate who was serving on a missile cruiser.
Police say the officer was found dead in his apartment on Sunday after his brother called police. He'd been stabbed in the chest.
Police haven't revealed a possible motive for the killing.

Norwich — A Norwich woman was charged with prostitution during an early morning sting conducted in the Greeneville section of the city.
Police said Beth Sikorski, 44, of last known address 88 Central Ave., was seen loitering in the area, trying to gain the attention of passing motorists.
Police said Sikorski has been arrested for prostitution in the past. Police said they conducted the sting in an attempt to "clean up" the area and improve the quality of life for its residents and businesses.
An undercover police officer made an agreement with Sikorski to exchange money for sexual favors, police said. A motor vehicle stop in the area of Hamilton Avenue and Smith Street was conducted, and Sikorski was placed under arrest.
Sikorski will be arraigned in Norwich Superior Court on July 25.

Villa Versailles, Estate of the Day
My favorite houses in Malibu are the beach houses, that whether modern or more traditional, reflect a certain casual style. But up from the beach you can find a few beautiful homes that seem more Holmby Hills than Malibu. This estate, Villa Versailles is yet another entry into the growing category of homes that have been built and then put on the market by those whose wallets and eyes might have been bigger than their stomach for living on such a grand scale. Curbed reported back in April that this 10-bedroom home was built in 1992 by a builder/developer for the love of his life who quickly decided that Malibu's relative remoteness didn't suit her. The couple reportedly moved out after a single weekend. And so for over 15 years the home has been on and off the market. It's been used in many photo and video shoots, rented out for various purposes and generally been gawked at for a long while. The home is on 5.33-acre estate acres including multiple pools, the gardens, the horse stables, and the caretakers' residence. The home has around 16,000 square feet of space which is significant because Malibu has passed an ordinance restricting the size of homes to 11,172 sq ft for the main house on a five+ acre lot minimum. You couldn't built one this big yourself there anymore, thank goodness.
The home may be called Villa Versailles but the style is Villa Versace with the black marble bathroom, columns topped with gold-painted capitals, and plenty of white and marble everywhere. A house that is not lived in is like a car not driven, it develops a certain staleness. It could benefit from a good stager to warm it up a bit. The home is listed at $23.75 million which is a fair amount for a home that is not beachfront in the area.

Bombers bury rival Rebels
Barnum's Brandon Newman buried a 3-pointer to open the long-lasting rivalry game, and the Bombers scored the opening nine points. That quick start turned to a 30-18 advantage by halftime, as the Bombers (12-1) – winners of six straight – never trailed.By: Tyler Korby, Pine Journal
Spurting blood after receiving a gash to his left eye in last March's section championship with Browerville, Barnum senior Daniel Warpula's perfect free-throw shooting night was cut short.
Towel pressed on his wound, Warpula watched helplessly on the sidelines as the Tigers hit a buzzer-beater and went to State.
"It was tough to sit there and watch," said Warpula, who needed seven stitches following his collision in the closing minutes. "I'd much rather be out there with my team."
Warpula was with his Bombers teammates last week when Barnum blitzed neighboring visitor Moose Lake-Willow River 75-51 in a Polar League boys basketball beating last Thursday night.
Barnum's Brandon Newman buried a 3-pointer to open the long-lasting rivalry game, and the Bombers scored the opening nine points. That quick start turned to a 30-18 advantage by halftime, as the Bombers (12-1) – winners of six straight – never trailed.
"We try to come out firing," said Newman, a sophomore, who scored a game-leading 31 points last week, then added 29 more Monday in obliterating Aitkin on the road. "We aren't the biggest team, but we're fast. We like to get defensive stops and push it."
The Bombers have pushed around all of their opponents this season, except a lone loss to state-storied Braham. A tiny basketball town of their own, Barnum is again a state contender, led by Warpula and Newman as veteran returnees in the backcourt. Junior Zachary Carlson is also a guard along with a quintet of role players on the small team with tenacity and toughness.
"We have no one over 6 feet tall," said Bombers Coach Rich Newman, now in his 16th season. "But we have a group of guys who play hard and bring it every day. They are stepping up and matching the physicality – especially against Moose Lake."
"They're tough," said Rebels Coach Neil Dickenson.
Dickenson, in his fourth season at ML-WR, credited Barnum, but noted his Rebels (7-4) allowed 31 free throws in the loss. That comes on top of giving Cass Lake-Bena 25, Esko 28 and Warroad 41 freebies, along with fighting injuries, concussions and the flu.
"There are no excuses," Dickenson said. "We just have to play better defense. We haven't quite found our rhythm yet. I'm confident we will. And when it's together, we'll be pretty tough."
"Once we click, I think we'll start to roll," said Rebels senior guard Tony Adamczak, who scored a team-high 19 points on Barnum before injuring his ankle in a win over visiting Rush City Tuesday night. "I think we're one of the most athletic teams around here."
Right now, though, their rivals are one of the toughest.
"We're playing extremely well," Warpula said. "We want to go to state. We've put in a lot of time together. And the shots."
With luck, Warpula will be able to finish out the season without any game-stopping injuries.
"He had to get seven stitches after that," Rich Newman said. "We did every trick in the book to get it to stop bleeding and it just didn't.
"If this was 50 years ago, before the referees were so worried about blood, I think he would have gone out there again and made all of those free-throws – blood running down the side of his face."

You know the old saying. You wait 24 hours and 34 minutes for a bus and two come at once. But in the case of Chelsea striker Fernando Torres, who scored two goals against Leicester in the FA Cup, the analogy is off.
When a bus arrives, the driver usually pulls over gently by the kerb. He doesn't mishit the brake, bobble along the bus lane and crawl past the passengers.
Despite his poor record - seven goals in 52 appearances - Torres and Chelsea manager Roberto Di Matteo polished the oldest of chestnuts by claiming that the forward had been contributing in other ways to the team's performances.
His goals are just a bonus. We should be grateful when Torres obliges with the occasional goal, like an extra feature on a DVD.
In the end though, Torres conceded that, with or without sacked Andre Villas-Boas tearing at the very fabric of human civilisation, he must score more often.


text: Hi I have 2 ati 5970's and can't run maximum settings in multiplayer pvp and have good enough frame rates. And I think that even if I upgraded to 2 ati 6990's I still wouldn't be able have complete max settings in multiplayer pvp with high frame rates.. So, those are the 2 best cards on the market. So would getting 2 more 5970's allow me to do this in arma 2:OA or more than 2 of any card? If not, then I'm assuming that it's impossible for anyone to max out their settings and have high frame rates all the time in online pvp? Is this true? Or can I do it with 4?

RHD students cherish VC Award winner Helen Moffatt
Congratulations to Helen Moffatt for winning a Vice Chancellors Award for Professional Staff Excellence in the individual category!
What is exceptional about Helen Moffatt, administrative assistant to Dr Alistair Rolls, Deputy Head of School Research Training in the School of Humanities & Social Science, is her unwavering kindness towards Research Higher Degree students. "She devotes all of her energy on a daily basis to our School's 150 RHD students, all of whom she knows by nameâ€, says Dr Rolls.
However, Helen doesn't see her approach as being exceptional at all. It's just good old fashioned customer service. "The customer has to be satisfied otherwise the organisation won't be successfulâ€, she says modestly. Helen has a diverse background that is founded in the retail industry and based on the principle that the customer always comes first. "They have to be happyâ€, she says.
Helen was also an Australian ballroom dancing finalist over a 12 year period and taught competitive ballroom dancing for many years. She was an adjudicator, examiner and a director on the Australian Dancing Board. One wonders about the extent these remarkable experiences have influenced the unrivalled focus, initiative and empathy displayed in her work at the University.
This is not to say that her work is without its challenges. RHD students often present to Helen with unique and complex issues. "It's not a system where one-size-fits-allâ€, she says. "They are 150 individuals so it's a matter of finding a way that suits the individual to get what they need to help the research and so that it's not a burdenâ€. This is what motivates Helen the most. Finding solutions for students gives her immense satisfaction. "I get it all backâ€, she smiles.
Her focus and work ethic has resulted in positive experiences for the hundreds of RHD students she has supported during her time in this role. "Helen is tireless in pursuing the best outcomes and does not give up until she has secured the outcome that she thinks is appropriateâ€, says Dr Rolls. "She is universally cherished by students for her unfailing supportâ€.
Congratulations Helen!

A series of unfortunate events
16 comments:
- Parnassus said...
Too bad you missed this prize. It is easily my favorite of the three you've shown.
One way out of some of these disappointments, which you might already use, is increment bidding, if the house allows it. Thus you can bid "500 plus two" or "1000 plus one" which will take you so many increments over your maximum bid.
I suppose the difference is slight over just placing a larger bid, and of course the opposition may have been willing to go much higher. Still, because of the way bidding increments work, this method sometimes prevents losses by insignificant amounts or tie bids.
--Road to Parnassus
- November 21, 2012 at 12:33 PM
- columnist said...
Parnassus - yes, once I'd decided on the Knab the other two paled into insignificance. I take your point about increment bidding, but I'm not sure the web portal I use would allow, and as you say, if the bidder is on site he can easily bid over when it's "live" for him. Anyway, my licked wounds are nearly healed.
- November 21, 2012 at 12:37 PM
- Mark D. Ruffner said...
Dear Columnist, I'm so sorry for your disappointment. I wasn't familiar with Ferdinand Knab, so did a quick Google search. And I discovered that Knab was a great painter of light and of many scenes of Roman ruins, as you certainly know. He appears to have been bitten by the Piranesi bug, a man after my own heart!
- November 21, 2012 at 10:55 PM
- columnist said...
Mark thank you for your commiserations. It was a pity to miss him this time, but especially this picture, as it stands out from others that he painted.
- November 22, 2012 at 12:20 PM
- Toby Worthington said...
Columnist, I feel your pain. Not that was familiar with
Knab until this post! Having recently embarked on
a canvas depicting an architectural capriccio all three
of your examples were of interest. My local source of
inspiration is a pair of delicious little scenes by
Hubert Robert at a museum of art nearby. Ruins!
Can't get enough of 'em. - November 22, 2012 at 10:55 PM
Hi Columnist,
Like your other readers, I quite like the Knab. I am waiting for a cappriccio I like to come up at auction here in LA, but they rarely do, so I keep my painting options open. So if I am correct you like classical portraits, old masters and China Trade? Are there any other areas in paintings that you collect? - November 23, 2012 at 10:14 AM
- columnist said...
Toby - classical ruins are enchanting, and I think Knab executed this picture very well. I don't think my bank account would allow for a Hubert Robert, but if it did, his works would fit the bill too. I have in my sights a potential target for my next venture, but I'm not wholly convinced, so I think it will be a longer process finding the right thing, (which is part of the fun).
- November 23, 2012 at 10:37 AM
- columnist said...
Diogenes - that covers my interest, but I also have a couple of first half C20th European. If a painting is well-executed, (in my eye), I will be interested. Two genres in which I have no interest are pop art or modernist.
- November 23, 2012 at 1:34 PM
- Loi Thai, Tone on Tone said...
I'm sorry about the Knab. That is a fine painting. I always think the bidder who is present at the auction has an advantage. Fingers crossed next time, Columnist!
Loi - November 24, 2012 at 1:57 AM
- columnist said...
Thanks Loi. The lack of the draw!
- November 25, 2012 at 3:13 PM
- Half-heard in the Stillness said...
Hello 'columnist' thank you very much for your comment upon my blog, I'm glad you found it heartening. I just thought that at least once I might make a difference by saying Thank you to our brave fire-service. It made my day that day certainly, just to see the smiles on their lovely faces!
Alas, your bid for the beautiful painting didn't win. It is indeed a most lovely painting, I love the light and the buildings in the misty distance. Sometimes through life we come upon things that somehow reach out to us and we quite simply never forget them, even if we were only to see them for a second, they become a vision that one can call to mind with our eyes closed, as they have imprinted themselves upon our psyche.
Jane - November 29, 2012 at 10:53 PM
- columnist said...
Dear Jane
How nice of you to visit in return; I saw you from a comment on "Mon avis, mes amis", so I snooped over and was touched by your fireman story.
You're so right, I probably wont forget this picture, but I hope it makes others happy too. A memory of someone else's talent is quite inspiring, I have to say! - November 29, 2012 at 11:05 PM

The temple of Vesta in Tivoli is also very interesting . I love italian vedutti and I regret some years ago I sold a beautiful Tivoli waterfalls of Gautier . This is so bad you missed the first one , biddings is sometimes a stupid game

Thanks for the commiserations, but happily I am "over" it now, and I was very happy to have success with my Chinese School Hong Kong Island panorama. However, I am always on the lookout for a similar veduta. All in good time I imagine!

The Michigan state trooper who died Wednesday while on duty has been laid to rest.
Veteran police officers cried as Michigan State Police retired badge number 482 during funeral services Saturday. It was the badge number of Trooper Jeffrey Werda.
Trooper Jeffrey Werda died after he crashed on Birch Run Road in Taymouth Township while rushing to help Saginaw County Sheriff's Deputies involved in a chase early Wednesday morning.
Hundreds of law enforcement officers and emergency personnel from around the state and country packed the Gladwin High School Gymnasium for his funeral.
"He really lived the attributes of our front line responders of courage, duty, and honor," said Governor Rick Snyder during the service.
The governor told Werda's wife and three children the entire state recognizes the sacrifice they have made.
Werda started out his career of service in the Army during Desert Storm. When he returned home he worked as an emergency responder, a police officer in Richfield Township, and as a Michigan State Police trooper.
"Everyday we go to work, it is a possibility," said Trooper Jamie Bullis after the service.
He met Werda while in recruit school.
"Some people have bigger smiles than others. Werda had the biggest smile."
Bullis says everytime he gets in his patrol car, he will think of his friend.
"It reminds you, don't leave things unsaid," says Bullis. "When you go on duty and check in to service make sure the ones you love know that you love 'em."
Werda leaves behind a wife and three children.
The 23-year-old man officers say they were chasing when they called on Werda for backup is in jail. He faces numerous charges including first-degree manslaughter fleeing and eluding, possession of drugs, and driving with a suspended license.

More than 40 damages claims by alleged victims of Jimmy Savile are to be launched against his estate, three other public bodies and the BBC.
Russell Jones & Walker has sent the BBC, Leeds General Infirmary, Stoke Mandeville and Broadmoor hospitals and NatWest "letters before action".
The bank, executor to the BBC DJ's £4m estate, has frozen his account.
Meanwhile, Savile's name is to be removed from the list of honorary freemen of the borough of Scarborough.
Russell Jones & Walker is acting for 36 people aged from eight to 23 when they were allegedly abused....Read more
BBC faces serious questions about Jimmy Savile
22 Oct 2012
Newsnight's editor Peter Rippon is told to step aside from his job by the BBC director general, George Entwistle, while an independent investigation is carried out into why a film about Jimmy Savile's child abuse was shelved last December.
The BBC said Mr Rippon had been wrong on three counts in his blog.
He had wrongly said Newsnight had no evidence against the BBC, when in fact its reporters had been told Savile abused girls on BBC premises.
He said all of the victims interviewed by Newsnight had spoken to police, when they had not, and that no other abusers were named by the women, when in fact one of them had made allegations against Gary Glitter.
He also wrongly said Newsnight had no evidence that staff at the Duncroft approved school knew about Savile's child abuse....Read more

12 October 2012
The government has been dragged into the Jimmy Savile scandal after it emerged that the Department of Health could be sued directly over claims the star abused patients when he was a volunteer at Broadmoor hospital in the 1970s and 1980s.
A lawyer acting for victims preparing legal action against Stoke Mandeville hospital and the BBC said it was possible the government could face civil claims as it was directly responsible for the running of the Broadmoor high security psychiatric hospital in that time.
Savile was a volunteer for more than four decades at the hospital, had keys to its secure unit and at one point in 1988 was appointed to lead a "taskforce" overseeing the management of the hospital after its management board was dismissed by the then health minister, Kenneth Clarke.
Jimmy Savile: Headstone Removed And Dumped
10 October 2012
The late TV star's headstone is to be sent to landfill after its removal from a cemetery by his family amid new sex abuse claims.
Sir Jimmy Savile's gravestone is going to be broken up and dumped after being removed from a cemetery in Scarborough amid new sexual abuse claims.
Scotland Yard says up to 25 young girls were allegedly targeted by the late television star over a period dating back to 1959.
His family said it took the decision to remove his headstone, which bears Savile's image and lists his accomplishments, as a mark of respect to others buried in the cemetery. It had only been in place for three weeks.
"(We) are deeply aware of the impact that the stone remaining there could have on the dignity and sanctity of the cemetery," a statement released on behalf of the family said.

'You didn't mess with Jimmy': Paul Gambaccini 3 October 2012
Veteran radio DJ Paul Gambaccini today lifted the lid on how Sir Jimmy Savile used his power in the BBC to dodge sex abuse claims as the corporation faced questions over why it spiked a report into the allegations.
Mr Gambaccini said the world of showbiz had been aware of the claims of abuse by the flamboyant celebrity for decades before victims finally told their story this week.
But Mr Gambaccini, 63, revealed the Jim'll Fix It star warned investigators their inquiries would hit the millions he raised for charity. On one occasion he was heard threatening to stop giving donations to Stoke Mandeville Hospital in Buckinghamshire.

HOW THE BRAIN PROCESSES MUSIC: When we listen to music, sound waves enter the ear and cause specific parts in the middle and inner ear to vibrate in response to the stimulation. This converts sound into an electrical signal that travels up the brain stem to the auditory cortex located in the temporal lobe on both right and left sides of the brain. If the temporal lobe becomes damaged, a person may have trouble singing a song, playing an instrument, or keeping rhythm. There is even a rare condition in which someone can't recognize musical melodies, yet has no trouble hearing speech or other sounds. Some studies have found that music is mostly processed by the right side of the brain, while others found the left side to be more dominant. MRI scans of people listening to music have shown that music activates many different parts of the brain in different people, including the visual cortex. This is because listening to music involves many different brain functions, such as memory, learning and emotions. But there's one section that seems to be activated in everyone: the rostromedial prefrontal cortex (RPC). It can be found near the center of the forehead, and is linked to short- and long-term memory. This part of the brain seems to be where maps of melodies are stored. Whenever a person hears a musical pattern, a matching pattern is set up in the RPC. Perfect pitch, on the other hand, seems to be related to a tiny region called the left planum temporal, which is also involved in language processing.

Steam deals Hitman:Absolution for $17 (less than 48hrs) TESV Skyrim for $30 (ends in less than a day)
I was tempted to get Hitman finally, but I think I'll wait til I have more time to play it, as it would just sit now. But it is a nice deal, cheapest I recall seeing it
A few Amazon deals, all games below activate on Steam Mark of the Ninja $3.75, very good game DEADLIGHT $3.75 Or... Microsoft 5 Game Arcade Pack $10 $5 if you still have a $5 promo credit left, includes: DEADLIGHT Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet Iron Brigade Mark of the Ninja Toy Soldiers Also with a promo credit: Max Payne 3 $15 $10 Age of Empires III Complete Edition $10 $5
Sleeping Dogs is $10 today on Steam, as well as 75% off all its DLCs Alternatively Amazon also has Sleeping Dogs for $10 Orcs Must Die 2 is $3.74 also
Is that a UK/Europe only deal? The link doesn't give me an option to purchase, and if I search for ME3 on GMG, I only get it for $30 Risen 2 is $10.19 today on Steam. Also, midweek sale is Deadlight for $7.50, but it's way cheaper on Amazon still, til 2/2 I believe.
I'm really sorry, I forgot to check US. Looks like it's Canada and EU only. Perhaps you could use something like Tunnelbear to connect to UK and get it that way?
Sims 3 is finally on steam too, hope Mass Effect 3 makes it too. Has anyone played Sacred 2, S2 Gold Edition is for 6.79$ (on gmg) and I guess a 25% code can be used too. Is it like Titan Quest or better (hope its not like Dungeon Siege 3).
If you are looking for a game like that, Path Of Exile Open Beta just launched. It looks very promising, with a team that actually listens to its player base and responds quickly.

Just a friendly reminder to those that have $5 amazon promo cash...it expires tomorrow I got the 2k shooter pack for $5 with the promo which includes Borderlands,The Darkness 2 and Duke Nukem Forever...
Seems a little silly. I doubt a 5450 can handle that much more than 20fps. Especially passive cooled, that thing would be cooking. I tried skyrim with my friends 5450, it was close to 90c.
Well, you don't have to use it for gaming, and I think it's a pretty good deal if you don't have FarCry3 already, but indeed, that card is for HTPCs of course.

Jimmy Cornell's many books include World Cruising Routes, A Passion for the Sea, and the just- published World Cruising Destinations.
My favourite book is a recent publication: A Race Too Far by Chris Eakin. It is the story of the first round-the-world race, a spell-binding tale of immense courage, heroic sacrifice, and profound despair whose reverberations are still felt by the survivors of this epic drama and whose painful memories have not been alleviated by the passing of time. The Golden Globe trophy and the considerable prize of £5,000 (approximately £100,000 in today's money) wa offered to the first person to sail around the globe without stopping anywhere. The rules were very simple, any type of sailing boat was allowed and participants had to start between 1 June and 31 October 1968. Several participants have written their own accounts and there have been a number of books written about this unique race but none conveys better the excitement and drama of this modern odyssey than Chris Eakin, who skilfully weaves together the disparate strands of a heart-rending tale of human tragedy and redemption of Homeric dimensions.
Derek Lundy's books include Way of a Ship: A Square-Rigger Voyage in the Last Days of Sail and Godforsaken Sea: Racing the World's Most Dangerous Waters.
Here's a few lines about a book I like very much: Offshore Sailing: 200 Essential Passagemaking Tips by Bill Seifert (, with Daniel Spurr) is a supremely useful and practical guide to getting a sailing vessel ready for an offshore passage. Seifert has vast experience and he makes each tip — from rigging a boom preventer, to providing engine space ventilation, to how to make the best time on passages, to handy offshore recipes — easy to understand and apply. Anyone planning a passage out of sight of land should refer to Seifert's essential manual. I''m using Seifert myself at the moment in hopes of heading out into the big blue Pacific sometime soon.

3/25/2011: 5 Iranian Christians to Face Trial for Blasphemy - Christian Post |
The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom has urged the Obama administration to demand that Iran release the Christian pastor.
USCIRF Chair Leonard Leo said Nadarkhani's case was "evidence that there is no transparency or justice in Iran's so-called legal system for religious minorities."
Nadarkhani remains in prison and his fate is uncertain as he awaits the outcome of an appeal filed at the Supreme Court last December. A hearing is due to take place in the next two months. Tags: |

I hope it's not the latest release.
Faisal, All,
Order entry has been opened at the distributors for this board. As mentioned before, please use the part numbers that I've previously shared. You can begin placing orders today and look for your board(s) to arrive in early May.
Best Regards, Kanika

Where is the order entry?
What is the part number?
I can not find them.
Could you tell me clearly?
Hello Yankai,
You can pre-order the board through any Authorized TI Distributor.
The part numbers are:
TMDXLCDK138 for the board with the OMAPL138 processor.
TMDXLCDK6748 for the board with TMS320C6748 DSP.
Please note that boards will not begin shipping until early May. Right now, you would simply be placing a pre-order for the board. If you are having a problem placing the order, please let me know.
The designers of the Hawkboard did not follow TI's recommended design rules. The TMDXLCDK138 does follow the recommended design rules, the delays all surround insuring that the next product is a quality product that mitigates problems that customers have seen with the previous board. We will have freely available design files released on the LCDK board in the coming weeks.
The document on how to transition exists for customers who are making the move from one platform to the next. We try to do this for most of our platforms as we release new generation devices. This does not imply any problems with the previous generation product.
Phillip -
I can add that we've been using it for quite some time now and have experienced no problems with the OMAPL138.
Thanks. Do you have an ETA for when the reference design files will be available? Are you planning to publish data on the radiated emissions measurements of the reference design?
So, it is almost June, but there is still no design file are available. Has your plans about publishing changed?
Thank you.
You can find the schematics for the boards on the Wiki page: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/L138/C6748_Development_Kit_(LCDK)

August 17, 2004
At the age of 17, Edilson was a gang member in Cali, Colombia. Constantly at "war" to defend his "territory," he was caught one night by a rival gang. They shot him in the back and in the skull. At the hospital, doctors couldn't operate and he was told he would never walk anymore. Two years later, after seeking treatment at the Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) rehabilitation center in the heart of one of the most difficult areas of Cali, the Aguablanca district, Edilson is walking again on his own. Edilson remembers the night his life changed. "The guy who shot me belongs to a gang that operates where I used to steal," says Edilson. "We steal from neighboring suburbs; we go there and they come here. We try to make others respect our territory... it's like everything... isn't it?" On that particular night, Edilson ran into his enemies who then surrounded him and threatened him with a gun and a chupasangre (a home-made weapon, literally meaning "blood-sucker"), and they demanded he hand over his running shoes. "I heard them say, 'Kill him!' 'Finish him off!' said Edilson. "I heard the shot and then everything turned black." Like Edilson, since 1998, more than 2,700 patients have received free, comprehensive physiotherapy, psychological, nursing, transportation, and social services at the MSF center in Cali. "This unique model of intervention in Colombia for victims of urban violence and their families has demonstrated that the health sector has a very important role in reducing the physical, psychological, and social effects of violence in the cities," states Antonio da Silva, MSF Head of Mission in Colombia. In Colombia, urban violence is the first cause of death for men between 14 and 44 years of age. In Cali, the third largest Colombian city, an incredible 1,225 assassinations were registered in the first six months of 2004. These figures do not include deaths related to the Colombian armed conflict. In the outskirts of most cities, many young people belong to organized gangs who define territories with invisible borders known only among themselves and their "enemies." For them, the rules are clear, and to venture beyond these invisible safety zones could have fatal consequences.
"Most of our beneficiaries are male between 14 and 25 years of age. All present either a knife or a gunshot wound and most frequently they are recidivists. Approximately 18 percent of them present a permanent disability as a consequence of their injury: paraplegics or quadriplegics," explains Justine Simons, coordinator of the Aguablanca project. "This astonishing situation should be of concern to public health authorities. If the rate of urban violence injuries continues in the manner it has been during the past six years, the city of Cali could become one of the cities of the world with the highest rate of disability." The MSF rehabilitation program was set up to respond to lack of integrated care for people injured in urban violence events after they have received emergency medical treatment. Once people have been discharged from the emergency departments of hospitals, there is no follow-up. Lack of interest in the well-being of this particular population is an underlying problem. MSF beneficiaries have frequently complained of hospital staff attitude and have heard comments such as, "Oh, he must be a gang member or something of the sort, so when you clean his wound, make sure you rub it hard so it hurts him bad." Stigmatization, lack of education on wound care, and lack of follow-up are just some of the issues faced by victims of urban violence at the doors of a public health service. |

June 17th marked the 40th anniversary of the Watergate break-in that ultimately resulted in President Nixon's resignation. To commemorate the anniversary, the Chapman University School of Law held a symposium about Watergate's lasting impact. All this month American History TV is airing highlights of that symposium. This is a discussion on Watergate's constitutional impact and legacy in the context of recent presidential administrations and subsequent political scandals.
