A collection of short stories by various Beachwalk Press authors, available for FREE download.
Positively Holly by Pepper Anthony
When Holly and Evan run into each other at the Toy Palace the week before Christmas, the last thing on their minds is rekindling their failed love affair. After all, Holly is one of those wide-eyed optimists, and Evan is a man who deals in practicalities. Things would never work out between them. But two cups of coffee, a pair of shopping bags, and a touch of sexy Christmas magic just might help them find their common ground.
Hometown Miracles by Patricia Bates
The holidays hold little interest for Leanne Wilson, a single mother who receives devastating news mere days before heading home. Once she arrives, she runs into the one man who holds her heart. But she can't reach out to him now…after all, this may be her very last Christmas. Jay Locke has loved Leanne for years. When she left town, he forced himself to move on, but now she's back with a darling little girl and a Christmas wish he just can't say no to.
Believe in Me by Aimée Duffy
Leona Sharp and Ryan Lee have been friends forever, it seems. Although there's an attraction between them, they've never acted on it. On New Year's Eve, Leona finally allows herself to give into the temptation, but she vows that it will only be for one night and as soon as the clock strikes midnight they will put it in the past and go on as if it never happened. Ryan, however, has other plans…
His Holiday Lifesaver by Hazel Gower
Brad isn't looking forward to Christmas dinner with his family as they are always trying to set him up with women. This year he has a plan involving Hailey, a female tourist he rescued at the beach, posing as his girlfriend for the next couple of weeks. The only problem with the plan is he didn't expect to fall in love with her.
Drawn To You by Tara Mills
If a picture's worth a thousand words, what does that make a series of sketches? Drawn to the same beach over and over again to secretly sketch this quiet, contemplative man, Rachel is about to find out.
Reunion by Ashlynn Monroe
Years ago, Shayla left her small hometown to pursue her dream. When she did, her family turned their back on her. Leaving also meant she had to forget about the boy she loved. When her mother dies, Shayla realizes that while some things change, other things are doomed to remain the same. She returns home, but doesn't feel very welcome until the boy who haunts her memories steps into her present. Luc is no longer the farm boy she'd fallen for—he's grown up, and quite nicely too. Can Shayla rekindle what she lost with the man she never stopped loving?
Winter Break by Kaylie Newell
Harper Smith is a horrible skier. She can't stand it, almost as much as she can't stand her irritatingly sexy ex-boyfriend, who also happens to be a member of the ski patrol. So when she finds herself in a life-or-death situation on a cold, dark mountain, she has mixed feelings when Justin Noble shows up to rescue her. Part of her would rather freeze to death than accept his help. The other part can't help but warm up at the sight of his messy, sun-bleached hair and cocky grin. Without her consent, Harper's heart tips dangerously close to falling for him again. But will this time be any different?
Mistletoe & Holly by Tamaria Soana
Zoey is going through the normal Christmas Eve ritual with her three-year-old twins. The only difference is that her husband Preston isn't there to share it with them. He's been deployed overseas and won't be home for the holidays. After Zoey tucks the kids in for the night, she places the gifts under the tree, snuggles on the sofa to watch It's a Wonderful Life, and falls asleep. She's startled awake by a loud noise. Is she dreaming, or is her Christmas wish standing under the mistletoe?
Katrina's Christmas by Sidda Lee Tate
Christmas has always been just another day to Katrina Bryant. She works hard and expects her employees to do the same. When her sexy assistant, Grant Ward, quits on Christmas Eve she becomes worried she will never see him again, and she wonders why that bothers her so much. To her surprise, he arrives at her home hours later and whisks her away for a Christmas she will never forget.
Merry Christmas, Mrs. Todd by Elise Whyles
Recently widowed, Mary Todd isn't looking forward to spending Christmas alone. She's determined to keep a low profile during the madness—that is, until she meets her sexy neighbor, Walter. He seems intent on helping her get into the holiday spirit, and she just might let him.
The Gift Beneath the Tree by Lacey Wolfe
Tara won't be spending Christmas with her family this year, but she's not entirely alone. Her roommate, Brad, who's currently single, is also at home with her. Tara goes to bed Christmas Eve with hopes Santa might bring her what she most desires. After hearing a loud crash, she goes to investigate, and underneath the tree, she finds the present she's been dying to unwrap.

Save Newsome Fields
We believe that land currently registered as Provisional Open Land, off New Laithe Hill, nr Newsome, is a very valuable asset for many within the Huddersfield area. This land is a well known tourist landscape, being part of the heavily photographed footprint of Castle Hill. The land is currently leased as farming land, and we believe that good quality farming land is in short supply and should be protected. We urge Kirklees Council to re-designate this land as Green Belt, and to ensure it is kept undeveloped for the benefit of future generations.

Hotels.com 住客评价
We returned to Berkhamsted to visit old friends – proximity was the most important criterion. At the Penny Farthing we got very friendly and helpful... service and free Wi-Fi Internet access, but we did not get much else. Our bed was small, and the mattress one of the worst of our three-week UK holiday. We asked that the dirty bedspread be removed. The breakfast room is clean and sterile, and bad acoustics make it very loud indeed. The full English breakfast was good, but the setting cold, both in terms of temperature and ambience. The first-time visitor may find the group of buildings that make up the small hotel quaint – but after a while even that visitor may find it awkward. There are no common areas, the reception is tiny, and the hotel needs a general overhaul. The friendliness of the personnel compensates for a lot. We had to leave early on our final day, and still got a simple breakfast much before the Sunday-morning opening hour of the breakfast room. It was the personnel that saved the hotel from a worse review. I assume that the hotel got its three-star rating by averaging the two-star facilities with the four-star personnel. At almost $150 per night, the Penny Farthing is more expensive than several much, much nicer hotels we have stayed at on our trip, including hotels in top tourist locations. The lack of local competition may explain the price, and the Penny Farthing does not offer adequate value for money. The last hotel on our tour was also the least. Hotels.com 住客于 2013-05-28 发表

by Bob Schwartz
"A teacher is one who makes himself progressively unnecessary." Thomas Carruthers "Act like a horse. Be dumb. Just run." Jumbo Elliot, legendary Villanova University Track and Field coach
I recall many years ago when I decided it was time to leave the solitary one-with-your thoughts aspect of running. A time to venture beyond the borders of my routine running courses. A time to sign one of those waivers and send in a race application.
It was also the time to experience the lovely togetherness and camaraderie of standing side by side with 20,000 strangers all of whom were nervously waiting for the start and contemplating whether one last trip to the port-a-john was feasible. Of course it's a monumental task to move six inches in any direction at that moment and I soon learned I'd be testing the endurance of my bladder as well as my legs on that race day.
As I moved from runner to racer, I first discovered I needed to learn certain racing wisdom, etiquette, and knowledge. It became time to receive The Ten Commandments of Racing. I found out that the commandments of racing were best presented through the omniscient words of the local running store marathon coach. The story unfold as follows:
In the fifth month of training, neophyte runners and local running store coach venture out to the wonderful, exciting world of mega entrant marathon. As their bus drops them off near the starting line of the 26.2-mile event, neophyte runners anxiously stretch on the grass while running store coach calls to them from the sidewalk.
Running store coach speaks, "I can only assume everyone has listened well to me these last five months. I have guided you, instructed you, brought you along from yes; I can say it, walkers and joggers to runners.
"Now, you are all embarking on a world that cannot be adequately described in words, but only through experience. You will be entering a land filled with new and enticing sports drinks and aid stations with enchanting treats. A land with a multitude of runners running a faster pace as well as a slight downhill grade for the first nine miles of the course.
"It will all be seen as the land of attraction. A land of easily bettering the goal time we have presently set for each of you. You must not be led into this straightaway of temptation. You must adhere to our strategy to achieve the best result possible. I am here to provide your foundation, to keep you true to our game plan."
The running coach went on, "If, within the marathon race, you stay true to your planned pace, if you replenish yourself with familiar liquids at the appropriate aid stations, if you take in the energy gels at the designated miles and stay focused on our agreed upon approach, then you shall enjoy this potentially grand experience. You will have pleased me and pleased yourself.
"However, if you do otherwise you will undoubtedly find yourself wandering mindlessly in the rigorous land of Marathon Mania at the painful Wall of Depletion. It will not be enjoyable."
The running store coach placed his hand upon my shoulder and then spoke, "These will be the final and most important words of guidance. For these will be the Ten Commandments of Racing. Observe my remarks, my athletes."
You shall have no coaches besides me. Do not be tempted by what others may tell you of rest walks, of combating blisters, of negative splits, of eliminating side stitches or new and tantalizing energy bars. I am your tutor in running shoes and you shall follow and observe only what I have taught you so that you may live to comfortably run today and on days to come.
You shall not look around you and covet another racer's multi-colored wick away moisture singlet, matching shorts, racing shoes, polycarbonate non slip nose piece sunglasses, running watch with ergonomically designed buttons, blister-free socks, nor perspiration wisking running hat.
You shall not wrongfully assume a place or position in the starting line area that is not reflective of your estimated and appropriate pace per mile. To do so would be to take a spot from your fellow runners, which they have rightfully earned, and literally place you in a position of failure.
You shall try to dispose of your drink cups, food wrappers, band-aid packaging and anti-inflammatory pill containers in the appropriate garbage can and do your best to avoid having to create an impromptu restroom.
You shall not lose your poise nor sight of your expected pace due to the excitement and adrenaline rush of the race nor the faster speed of other participants. For to do so, would be assure you a rendezvous in the unforgiving zone of depletion where darkness and discomfort will accompany you.
You shall never become overly discouraged by the feelings of your body at any particular point in time. You may experience a second wind and/or you may meet the wall, but do try and enthusiastically proceed with forward movement at all times.
You shall applaud and courage your fellow runners for they are your companions in commitment. Share your drink at the aid station, your space on the road, your post race refreshments - - and do not lie about your finish time.
You shall not elbow, push, poke, trip, cut in front of, jostle, run too close behind, shove or step on the foot of any other runner you encounter in the land of racing. Nor shall you spit, hurl, blow, throw up or toss any bodily product to anyplace other than a trash can or the side of the road.
You shall not use excuses for a race performance beneath your expectations including too much wind, the temperature, limited rest room facilities, hills on the course, chafing, inadequate carbo-loading, aid station lines or inaccurate split times. Most importantly, you will never, ever, ever, blame your coach.
You shall indeed finally cross the finish line in your land of racing. You will slowly move forward on shaky legs as you perform the lactic acid shuffle. At that moment do not be lost within yourself and forget to give appreciation to the race director, volunteers and sponsors for they are also your providers. Without them we are alone and without a t-shirt collection.
We neophyte runners, in unison, enthusiastically raised our water bottles in assent. We were acknowledging that we'd heard everything and would try to obey the commandments of racing.
And with that agreement neophyte runners and running coach walked slowly together to the starting line and into the exciting, thrilling and exhilarating land of racing.

WILMINGTON (AP) -- Jerry Levine is now the oldest person to hike all of New York's 46 highest mountain peaks.
The 82-year-old from Cortlandt Manor in Westchester County became an Adirondack 46er after he climbed Esther and Whiteface mountains Saturday.
Levine tells the Adirondack Daily Enterprise that it was tough to get up the peaks - Esther is 4,239-feet high while Whiteface, the Olympic ski mountain, is 4,867-feet high.
But he says he'd do another one if he had to.
To become a "46er," a person must climb all of the 46 major Adirondack Mountain peaks. All but three are higher than 4,000 feet. Mount Marcy, at 5,344 feet, is the highest.
Levine climbed with a group that included his sons, Gary and Peter, their wives and several grandchildren. Friend Phil Corell, a 46er, also joined him.

Syracuse had four players score their first goals of the season, but still lose both games played.
While focus is on last seasons trade between the two clubs, tonight is a confrontation of two teams playing inconsistently as of late.
This game is one that may be worth watching for Norfolk Admirals and Syracuse Crunch fans, as alumni dominate both teams rosters.
Though a major cog from the Tampa Bay Lightning is now out of the lineup indefinitely, that doesn't end the team's ability to contend this season. Nor is it a major loss for Team Canada's Mens ice hockey team.
The Crunch has returned to the top of the East Division, a title it one last year, with a streak of 8 wins in 9 games.
Syracuse has some of the most potent Russian players in the league right now.
Syracuse is now 4-2-1-0 thanks to a season-high 4 point weekend
Tampa Bay Lightning GM Steve Yzerman has changed his mind on fighting and opened himself up to a lot of criticism in the process.
There are always unanswered questions before a team begins its season and the Tampa Bay Lightning have plenty of them.
While we've been publishing our own season preview here at Raw Charge, SB Nation's larger season preview tossed three questions about the Lightning to us.

Hyalinobatrachium Ruiz-Carranza and Lynch, 1991, Lozania, 57: 23. Type species: Hylella fleischmanni Boettger, 1893, by original designation.
Glass Frogs (Liner, 1994, Herpetol. Circ., 23: 22; Frank and Ramus, 1995, Compl. Guide Scient. Common Names Amph. Rept. World: 47; Liner and Casas-Andreu, 2008, Herpetol. Circ., 38: 14).
Tropical Mexico to southeastern Brazil and Argentina.
See Ruiz-Carranza and Lynch, 1998, Rev. Acad. Colomb. Cienc. Exact. Fis. Nat., 22: 571-586, for discussion of phylogenetics and species groups. Savage, 2002, Amph. Rept. Costa Rica: 367-376, provided a key and accounts to the species of Costa Rica. Noonan and Bonett, 2003, J. Herpetol., 37: 91-97, compared the species of the Guiana Shield region. Duellman and Señaris, 2003, Herpetologica, 59: 251, refined the diagnosis of this taxon. Cisneros-Heredia and McDiarmid, 2006, Zootaxa, 1244: 1-32, discussed the evidence supporting the inferred monophyly of this group and cast doubt on its historical reality and rejected the separation of the Hyalinobatrachium peristictum group from the Hyalinobatrachium prosoblepon group. Guayasamin, Bustamante, Almeida-Reinoso, and Funk, 2006, Zool. J. Linn. Soc., 147: 489-513, suggested that Hyalinobatrachium, and the Hyalinobatrachium fleischmanni group, are monophyletic. Cisneros-Heredia and McDiarmid, 2007 "2006", Herpetotropicos, Mérida, 3: 21-28, discussed the group and rejected subgroupings. Cisneros-Heredia and McDiarmid, 2007, Zootaxa, 1572: 1-82, redelimited Hyalinobatrachium to be monophyletic by restricting it to the Hyalinobatrachium fleischmanni group and excluding the Hyalinobatrachium parvulum group: Hyalinobatrachium eurygnathum, Hyalinobatrachium parvulum, and Hyalinobatrachium uranoscopum, currently unattached to any of the recognized genera. Guayasamin, Castroviejo-Fisher, Ayarzagüena, Trueb, and Vilà, 2008, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 48: 574-595, recovered Hyalinobatrachium to be polyphyletic. Guayasamin, Castroviejo-Fisher, Trueb, Ayarzagüena, Rada, and Vilà, 2009, Zootaxa, 2100: 1-97, redelimited Hyalinobatrachium to render it monophyletic and provided a phylogeny.

Active Learning, Applications, Link Analysis
The problem of detecting aliases - multiple text string identifiers corresponding to the same entity - is increasingly important in the domains of biology, intelligence, marketing, and geoinformatics. Aliases arise from entities who are trying to hide their identities, from a person with multiple names, or from words which are uninten-tionally or even intentionally misspelled. While purely orthographic methods (e.g. string similarity) can help solve unintentional spelling cases, many types of alias (including those adopted with malicious intent) can fool these methods. However, if an entity has a changed name in some context, several or all of the set of other entities with which it has relationships can re-main stable. Thus, the local social network can be exploited by using the relationships as semantic information. The proposed combined algorithm takes ad-vantage of both orthographic and semantic information to detect aliases. By applying the best combination of both types of information, the combined algorithm outperforms the ones built solely on one type of information or the other. Empirical results on three real world data sets support this claim.
This is an extended version of the paper appearing in the proceedings of the International Conference on Intelligence Analysis 2005
An implementation of the algorithms from this paper is available here.

Customizing SMF > SMF Coding Discussion
[all versions] minor enhancement for url_image_size in Subs.php
Christian Land:
Nothing special, just replace
--- Code: --- // See if it returned a 404/403 or something.
if ($test != '4')
return @getimagesize($url);
--- End code ---
--- Code: --- // See if it returned an HTTP Status beginning with 4 or 5 (=error)
if (($test != '4') && ($test != '5'))
return @getimagesize($url);
--- End code ---
... i don't know how PHP handles the 3** http-status-codes, but it could probably be a good idea to check for them, too ...
How many times is the status code going to be 50x?
There are really only 3 status codes you need to check for:
403 - Permission Denied
404 - File Not Found
500 - Internal Server Error
I can't really think of why you would get anything else while looking for an image unless there was a problem with the server the image was stored on...
I can't even think of why you would get a 500 :P. Those error codes are mainly used for overloaded servers and bad scripts...
Christian Land:
::) It doesn't matter if the 50* errors are happening often. It simply makes sense to handle errors that can be handled.

Interesting, I thought most people just had one single next action list like me. My list is sorted by context so I can zoom in on the appropriate actions for where I am. Only possible with an electronic system of course.
Interesting, I thought most people just had one single next action list like me. My list is sorted by context so I can zoom in on the appropriate actions for where I am. Only possible with an electronic system of course.
Well said, LOL! (And I like trees, too.)
To Canadianian: By the way, I'm Canadian, too. Here's an example to illustrate the usefulness of sorting actions by context, not by project. Suppose I have a bunch of projects, including "organize a party at my house on a certain date" and "fix my bicycle", and also a bunch of single actions -- things that need to be done but don't count as whole projects because they contain only one action. Let's say "buy safety pins" is a single action in my system.
Then, when I go to the hardware store, all I have to do is look at my "list of things to buy at the hardware store" (yes, I do maintain such a list, on part of a page in a paper notebook that's in my pocket all the time). This list might contain an item of kitchen equipment I want to buy to help prepare food for the party; something I need to fix my bicycle; and safety pins. I don't need to worry right then about which project each of those is for -- I just look at the list and buy the things (or, I can change my mind on the spot, knowing what each of them is for.)
Later, I'll be able to use each of them for the next step in whatever project. Actually, I guess the next step with the safety pins is to put them in the place where I usually keep safety pins, but (hopefully!!) I would just do that automatically when I unload the stuff after coming home from shopping. I don't have to write "put away groceries" on any list. Actually, I used to bring (non-grocery) stuff home, forget where I put it, and a week or so later get frustrated when I wanted to use it; I think generally using GTD has helped me think more logically about putting things where I'll run across them at the right times or remember to use them and be able to find them; I think to myself "what's the next step with this thing?" or "where will I be when I want to use this?" as I'm putting it away.
Last edited by cwoodgold; 01-11-2013 at 03:37 AM.
Inability is an abstract thing involving comparison with alternate universes; it cannot be experienced.
It's important that project plans are separate from your next action list. I have large projects, and have to do a lot of formal planning, and find that once I've done the brainstorming I might end up with many parallel open loops for the one project and therefore many next actions per project, as well as many projects all going on at the one time. So when you are generating the next action or actions for the projects, you look at your project plan and decide whether to put a NA for all of the open loops, or maybe just some of them (in order to keep the NA list to a reasonable amount of actions).
I have one NA list in an iPhone app (Pocket Informant) that allows sorting by context, and also viewing by project.

Comments about York Wall Coverings RoomMates Toy Story 3 Peel & Stick Border:
First of all, this is the ONLY actual Toy Story border I have seen. I have only seen Buzz Lightyear border--no Woody, Aliens, other beloved characters, etc. sharing the picture. So when I saw this featured here "online only" at Toys R Us, I was thrilled! I have decorated my 3 year old's room in the T.S. theme and really wanted to finish the look with border. It truly is 'peel and stick' and works wonderfully!! You know in a few years we will be on to other themes, so having this intelligent design is PERFECT. The colors are great and can match different paint schemes. His is a light blue and it looks great. There is one little drawback though. They charge a lot of $$ for a roll that isn't long at all. My son's room is small and I had to buy 3 to cover all the way around. I first bought 2, and then discovered THAT didn't even do it. So I ordered a 3rd one. [...]...the border for MY bedroom which is quite a bit bigger, didn't even cost that much! But ok, this is "name brand", so this is how it usually goes. All in all, great product and it does what it says!

Ecclestone: "Jean Todt is a poor man's Max Mosley"
2011 F1 season
Bernie Ecclestone has criticised FIA president Jean Todt, calling him "a poor man's Max Mosley" in an interview with the Daily Express.
Ecclestone said Todt, who became FIA president in October 2009, has "not so much had a positive effect on Formula 1.
"He has been travelling around the world doing what Max didn't do too much – kissing the babies and shaking the hands. It is probably good for the FIA but we don't need it in Formula 1."
Ecclestone said the new 1.6-litre turbo engines planned for 2013 "doesn't sound anything like Formula 1″.
He also criticised Kinetic Energy Recovery Systems, which have been reintroduced this year, saying: "It has just cost an awful lot of money and I don't know what it has proven.
"I don't think anyone knows or cares what it is or what it does. I get upset with these things."
How do you think Jean Todt has performed as FIA president? Vote here:

Online Store
The Official Online RBS 6 Nations Store is open. The store has everything you need to get behind your team during the RBS 6 Nations, plus the store is now fully stocked with a much wider range of rugby merchandise.
Wales are the only side who retain the same coach-and-captain combination from New Zealand, with Warren Gatland and Sam Warburton hoping to build on an impressive campaign.
RBS 6 Nations Chairman David Pickering is confident the 2012 edition of the tournament will be one of the most unpredictable yet with every team set to unveil new talent.
He said: "It is the first RBS 6 Nations after the World Cup and for some it is a time for change. There are new faces in the coaching and playing side and this can only add to the anticipation and excitement when we could see new stars come forward.
"Gone are stars from previous Six Nations such as Jonny Wilkinson and Shane Williams but there will be stars of tomorrow that will emerge in this Championship.
"The RBS 6 Nations is the oldest and most famous rugby tournament in the world. It is also the most attended rugby tournament in the world and is the standard bearer as the greatest rugby tournament on earth."
This edition of the RBS 6 Nations will see a change of stadium for the Azzurri who will take on England and Scotland in Rome's Stadio Olimpico while the iconic Stadio Flaminio is redeveloped.
Before that Italy face a trip to Paris where they will open the tournament against Philippe Saint-André's France who will be anxious to avenge last year's historic 22-21 defeat in Rome.
Pickering added: "This year we are delighted to see the new Olympic stadium used in Italy for the first time. That will only drive attendances northward for the RBS 6 Nations Championship. Our relationships with our broadcasters have gone from strength to strength. We re-signed TV deals that will help our success and sustainability.
"The Six Nations will kick off in Paris at 14.30 where France will challenge in Italy in what I am sure will be a mouth-watering event after last year's result before the tournament closes at Twickenham for the clash between England and Ireland."
Les Bleus will kick off the tournament against Italy looking to put their World Cup final defeat to the All Blacks behind them and Saint-André admitted his biggest challenge would be to put an end to the dreaded French inconsistency.
He said: "This is French rugby for the last four years – for the last 100 years.
"We can be one day up here and one day near to the floor.
"The biggest challenge – and we spoke with the players about this – is to try to be very consistent."
Meanwhile Wales coach Gatland took advantage of the launch to reveal that he will be without star prop Gethin Jenkins for the opening two games of the RBS 6 Nations.
Jenkins was forced off during the Cardiff Blues' win over Racing-Metro on Sunday with a knee injury and will be unavailable for the trip to Paul O'Connell led Ireland and the visit of Scotland.
"Gethin is struggling and could be out for four to five weeks," said Gatland.
"He is a huge loss for us for potentially the first two games of the tournament.
"He's been playing exceptionally well for the Blues in the last month."
England interim head coach Stuart Lancaster again sought to distance himself from the previous regime insisting he will do things his own way, starting with a mouth-watering Calcutta Cup clash with Scotland, who will be led by Ross Ford, on February 4.
"There's a lot of people giving me advice," said Lancaster.
"Fortunately, I'm confident in my own coaching philosophy to believe in the way I think things should be done.
"We want to be known as a humble, hard-working, honest team who graft and get on with the job and represent England with pride."

Benjamin Banneker was born on November 9, 1731, in Ellicott's Mills, Maryland. A free black who owned a farm near Baltimore, Banneker was largely self-educated in astronomy by watching the stars and in mathematics by reading borrowed textbooks. He became an active writer of almanacs and was appointed by President George Washington to the District of Columbia Commission.
"The colour of the skin is in no way connected with strength of the mind or intellectual powers."
Early Years
Astronomer. Entirely self-educated, Benjamin Banneker was born November 9, 1731, in Ellicott's Mills, Maryland. He was the son of an ex-slave named Robert, whose wife, Mary Banneky, was the daughter of an Englishwoman and an African ex-slave.
Because both of his parents were free, Benjamin escaped the wrath of slavery as well. He was taught to read by his white grandmother, Molly, and for a short time attended a small Quaker school.
For the most part, though, Banneker was self-educated, a fact that did little to diminish his brilliance. His early exploits included constructing a wooden clock in his early twenties, despite having seen only one other timepiece in his life. In addition, Banneker taught himself astronomy and accurately forecasted lunar and solar eclipses.
Banneker's talents and intelligence eventually came to the attention of the Ellicott brothers, industrialists who had made their name and fortune by building a series of gristmills in the Baltimore area in the 1770s. George Ellicott, a fellow mathematician and astronomer, loaned Banneker numerous books in both fields.
In 1791 Banneker teamed up with Major Andrew Ellicott, an American surveyor, to map out a new national capital.
Banneker's Almanacs
Banneker's true acclaim, however, came from his almanac, which he published for six consecutive years between 1792 and 1797. These almanacs included his own astronomical calculations as well as opinion pieces, literature, and medical and tidal information, among other things.
Outside of his almanacs, Banneker also published information on bees and calculated the cycle of the 17-year locust.
Letter to Jefferson
Banneker's confidence extended into other realms. During Thomas Jefferson's tenure as secretary of state, Banneker wrote the respected Virginian and attacked his proslavery stance. He criticized Jefferson, a slave owner himself, for his "absurd and false ideas" and urged him to recognize that "one Universal Father…afforded us all the same sensations and endowed us all with the same faculties."
To his credit, Jefferson acknowledged Banneker's letter, writing him a response, which Banneker published alongside his original piece of correspondence in his 1793 almanac.
Banneker's outspokenness with regard to the issue of slavery earned him the widespread support of the abolitionist societies in Maryland and Pennsylvania, both of which helped him publish his almanac.
Benjamin Banneker died in Baltimore, Maryland, on October 25, 1806. He was buried at the family burial ground near his house.

5/19/2003: Tolerating Saudi Bigotry - The Washington Post |
The Washington Post WHEN THE STATE DEPARTMENT issued its list of countries "of particular concern for religious freedom" in March, the absence of Saudi Arabia from the rogues' gallery of persecutors stood out. America's favorite brutal, theocratic monarchy had escaped designation in the past as well, so it was not a surprise. Nor was the desert kingdom the only notable absence: Another ally, Uzbekistan, which systematically oppresses Muslims who don't toe the government's official line, also got left off the list. But Saudi Arabia's escape was particularly striking, given that the discussion of Saudi religious liberty in the State Department's human rights report begins with "freedom of religion does not exist." Last week, the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom -- an independent bipartisan federal agency -- released its report on the state of religion in the kingdom. The report is a welcome rebuke to the department and rightly calls on the administration to add Saudi Arabia to its list. "How could a country where religious freedom does not exist fail to qualify for . . . designation?" the commission asks. In Saudi Arabia, no religion other than the officially sanctioned form of Islam may be practiced in public, and foreign Christians have been beaten or detained for long periods without charge or trial. Muslims who convert to other religions can be executed. In January, a Yemeni national received a death sentence for "insulting the religion of his roommate." His fate is "unknown." Shiites are discriminated against, and their clerics have been detained. Keeping a list of countries of "particular concern" makes no sense if Saudi Arabia is excluded for political reasons. The commission has recommended Saudi Arabia's designation before, to no avail. This time the State Department ought to listen. Leaving Saudi Arabia off the list year after year sends a message that such bigotry is tolerable in an ally. Better not to have a list at all than to have one so patently dishonest. Tags: |

Leftover food news: Ana's Empanadas come to Diamond Run Mall; L'Amante does lunch; Farmhouse hires new bar manager
"Good food should be for everybody," says Rob DiTursi, co-owner of Ana's Empanadas [1] with his wife, Ana. That's why the couple opened a third outlet for their healthy, local fast food at Rutland's Diamond Run Mall [2]. The new location, open seven days a week from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., joins the bake shop in downtown Rutland and a counter on the mountain in Killington.
The Diamond Run Mall store will serve the eponymous empanadas, miniature Argentine meat pies that come in varieties such as pulled pork and butternut squash. But the menu has plenty more. DiTursi says diners can expect homemade soups, fresh salads, paninis made with local meat and a daily "funky Argentine focaccia pizza." Slices of bread from Stone Arch Bakery [3] in Lebanon, N.H., are covered in cheese and sauce, then baked to order. For now, only plain pizzas are available, but DiTursi says to expect creative toppings to grace the focaccia soon.
During December, L'Amante [4] is offering lunch. From Tuesdays through Fridays, diners can get smaller versions of dinner dishes such as penne Bolognese; orecchiete with caramelized turnips; grilled quail with Brussels sprouts and pancetta; and grilled swordfish with broccoli rabe.
— c.h.
The Farmhouse Tap & Grill [5] has hired a new bar manager, Jeff Baker. Baker was most recently the beer buyer and curator at Beverage Warehouse in Winooski and has seven years of beverage industry and restaurant experience, as well as an education background in philosophy.

Bush collaborated last year with David Grisman on the project, "Hold on, We're Strummin'," but it's been about four years since Sam put out his last solo album called "Ice Caps: Peaks of Telluride" in 2000. "King of My World" pulls from many genres from bluegrass to jazz, reggae to country. The mountain consciousness is most apparent on a couple tracks (Puppie `N Knapsacks, Eight More Miles to Louisville) that Sam even picks banjo on. I never knew he could do that. "Bananas" is an instrumental with a distinctly Latin jazz feeling. The band really rocks on "Spirit is the Journey" written by Johnny Clegg, while the bluesy downstrokes on his mandolin drive Ed Snodderly's composition, "Magestic." The album even closes with a swingy self-penned "The Wizard of Oz," presumably a tribute to the great St.
Read more ›If you are talking tasteful tunes with mando lines "like butter": Sam is the king. Look at it this way, Sam is driving his rambler while we ride shotgun for a little fun, see the sights, and maybe take in a ball game.
So here is a question: What do Grandpa Jones and Johnny Clegg have in common? Answer: they've both written tunes played by Sam Bush on this album. "Eight More Miles to Louisville" and "Spirit is the Journey" as interpreted by Mr. Bush are as fresh as Rocky mountain snow (near Telluride of course).
The backing players fit like a glove and include Byron House (bass), Brad Davis (guitar) and Jon Randall (vocals and guitar) who generally tour with Sam. These guys are tight and it really shows especially on the instrumental numbers co-authored by the group "Puppies `N Knapsacks" and also on Sam's original "Bananas".
Sam borrows from one of his favorite songwriters, Jeff Black, for two tunes on this CD namely the title cut and "They're Going to Miss Me When I'm Gone". Sam really seems to find his voice with Jeff Black songs.
The final stop on the CD is the heartland with a swing tune tribute to his beloved St. Louis Cardinals and their shortstop, Ozzie Smith in the "The Wizard of Oz". This reminds me of swing tunes that came out in 1950s that paid tribute to players and teams of the era and of Steve Goodman's musical tributes to the Chicago Cubs.
As someone once said, Sam never misses a step, more fun that a barrel of monkeys, and always lets you sit back and enjoy the ride.
Thanks for the wonderful ride Sam!

Red wine is mentioned in the Bible not only as the first public miracle of Jesus, but as an aid to digestion. About time researchers figured out a glass with a meal is good for you.
Following on OP´s comments, a friend of ours recommended pomegranate juice as a substitute for red wine in cooking. Since my husband is a recovering alcoholic/addict of 31 years, I no longer keep wine in the house and have stopped drinking it as well (though there are times I would love a glass). The first time I drank pomegranate juice I noticed that it has the same sort of astringent quality as red wine.
The best thing I did for myself last year was to give up eating red meat. Now I enjoy drinking red wine as an end in itself.
Nothing healthier than a vegan wino. Ask Bill Clinton.
As if I need another reason to enjoy Shiraz ...
I don´t think there´s a single valid study connecting cholesterol in food to blood cholesterol. But drink red wine with your steak if you want to.
Cooking meats with wine is the answer.
Meat and wine of any color...molon labe.
Many people will drink to this.
