If you're tired of regular potatoes or your usual starches, try sweet potatoes for a change of pace. Sweet potatoes taste great roasted with chicken or turkey, or sliced and baked as fries. They're a great source of vitamin A, along with some other orange foods, such as carrots, pumpkin, and cantaloupe. Just be sure to watch your vitamin A intake during pregnancy, because excessive amounts have been linked to fetal malformations. Sweet potatoes and other sources of vitamin A are best eaten every other day.

Reading this article how the civil service is raping the hard working producers and tax payers,it should be no surprise. The socialist left wing nutters in the administration give away the farm. It's simple logic when money does not come from profits like a free enterprise company,then it is like free money, The tax payers are the administrations personal ATM. And it ain't gonna get any better till we root out the leftwing nutters that are in charge.
You should be very proud. You demonstrate the maximum intelligence level of the right wing.

Oh, wow, you should get back to your paper then! Don't waste time reading my story. The story will still be around when you have more time.
In my main story, the one that I started about 8-9 years ago, my male lead is chivalrous and gentlemanly. He's your typical hero. Therefore, when I started writing about SCN (who will be the "ancestor" of the chivalrous hero in the main story), I thought it was high time for a change of pace in the male lead. Hence, SCN is everything that a typical hero IS NOT - ruthless, unscrupulous, vicious, and self-serving. I like the description tweety gave him - Machiavellian. I think I'm very fortunate that most readers end up eventually liking SCN, despite his anti-hero characteristics. At least, H.Ge-C.Liu, being one of the readers who also was not too fond of him initially, turned into a SCN supporter. I don't think any of my other readers (other than you and H.Ge-C.Liu) mentioned anything to me about ambivalent feelings toward SCN.Right now, I have mixed feelings about Sit Chung Nam. He seems really suave but I don't like how he can murder people so mercilessly but I guess that's part of his anti-hero characterization.
Thanks. At least you didn't complain that it wasn't steamy enough.That kiss scene in Chapter 3 was really hot.
I think she also has a bit of advantage, because SCN is more lenient with her than with others. Thanks for commenting on Yan! Most readers only talk about SCN.Hahaha, Yan is almost always able to outsmart Sit Chung Nam, so yay for an awesome female lead!
Hey, how do you know Wallace Huo is in the story if you're only on Chapter 4? He doesn't appear or get mentioned until later.I also love your cast choice - Wallace Chung, Yuan Hong, and Wallace Huo?
Sadly, I'm not too sure myself. Yes, it's ridiculous, but I'm very illiterate in Chinese. I can try to find out what the Chinese characters are through Google Translate but they'll probably be incorrect. You must be wondering why in the world I'm writing a wuxia story if I am so illiterate in Chinese...Also, what do the character names mean in Chinese? Sadly, I'm only fluent in Mandarin.
Good luck on your paper! By the way, thanks for translating Chapter 8 of TLTSILY despite having to write your paper!
H.Ge-C.Liu - Now why would I play a prank on tweety? Do I look like someone who would do that?

How to Make a French Clay Mask at Home
By Sue Gabel
French clay, also known as French green clay, is a mud-like substance used to extract skin toxins. It is primarily made up of minerals including magnesium, potassium, calcium, copper, selenium, and dolomite. When it comes down to how to make a French clay mask, the preparation steps are fairly simple. You will need a few key ingredients. By blending them together, you create the clay mask paste. French clay face masks are used in various salons and spas worldwide, but are also a popular home skin care remedy that removes acne-causing dirt, oils, and impurities.
French clay comes in both a powdered form as well as a ready-made paste and is available at both online stores and health food stores.There are certain steps you will need to take in the process of how to make a French clay mask at home. First, you will need the required ingredients, tools, and materials to make the French clay mask paste. Start with 5 tbsp of French clay powder, 1/8 of a cup of rose water or spring water, scented essential oils of your choosing, a glass or ceramic bowl, and a plastic or wooden mixing utensil. You will also want to have a washcloth and towel handy for the clay-mask-removal process.
Step 1: Add 1/8 cup of rose water or spring water to your ceramic or glass bowl. Next, slowly stir in 5 tbsp. of powdered French clay with your non-metal stirring utensil.
Step 2: Add a couple of drops of your scented essential oil to your clay paste. This is just an additive to give the mask a more pleasant smell. Popular scented oils to try include chamomile, rose, lavender, or sandalwood.
Step 3: After all of your ingredients have been added, stir until the mixture becomes a smooth, thick paste. You can then apply the French clay mask to your face and neck. The only area that should be avoided is around the eyes because this skin area can dry out quickly and become tender. French clay masks can also be used to exfoliate other parts of your body, including your arms, elbows, legs, knees, chest, and back.
Step 4: The mask must be left on for at least 15 minutes to thoroughly draw out all of your skin's impurities. If your skin begins to feel too taught while the mask is on, feel free to spritz it lightly with water.
Step 5: Carefully remove the mask with warm water and a soft washcloth. Once the French clay mask is completely washed away, pat your skin dry and apply the daytime or nighttime moisturizer you normally use.
This is the complete "how to make a French clay mask" process, and it is easy to moderate in difficulty. Once you go through the steps a few times, it is really simple to make French clay masks at home.

A new program will combine construction trade skills with renewable energy technology
TRAVERSE CITY -- The construction industry is trending toward greener building and Northwestern Michigan College is keeping up with that trend by adding a new degree program.
NMC will offer an Associate of Applied Science and a Level II certificate option in the field of renewable energy beginning next Spring.
The program is an expansion of existing courses offered at the college and focuses on more than just renewable energy. Program Coordinator Stephen Morse says, "What makes it unique is that it's a blended technology degree. We are integrating the renewable energy program with the existing construction technology program. Students coming through the program will learn things like how to wire a home or plumbing and they'll get some hands-on skills before they even take the classes in solar or wind power."
Through classes and hands-on labs, students will learn news skills they can apply to their current jobs, train for existing jobs or future green jobs. "They can take the skills they're learning and apply it to the companies they work with now. They can help those companies expand and stay in business," says Morse, "We're excited to be at the leading edge of this in Michigan where we can also help those who are unemployed."
Morse says he expects classes to fill up quickly once registration begins in November. "We already have a lot of students in our heating and cooling and electrical classes that are very interested in learning more about renewable energy."
"I don't think there's ever been a better time than now to learn these trades and apply it to helping people and businesses save money and reduce our dependence on oil " says Morse. "It's never been a bigger issue."

Going through the 1990 list I'm struck by a couple memories. One is that a lot of my top-rated records were ones that I first heard at Georgia Christgau's house in the Catskills. We met Bob and Carola there and he brought along his usual travel box, and for some reason an exceptional number of them clicked. The other is that a lot of the jazz came from Francis Davis' Jazz CG and Gary Giddins' year-end list, which got me started on my 1990s jazz immersion. I wasn't reviewing anything at the time, but in many ways this year got me going again.
16 - Fear of a Black Planet
16 - Mama Said Knock You Out
13 - Goo
11 - Affection
10 - People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm
8 - Red Hot + Blue
8 - Brazil Classics 4: The Best of Tom Zé
7 - Bossanova
6 - Songs for Drella
5 - Glider
That one Philip Glass recording I asked about actually came out a year or two earlier. All of my selections wound up in the top 40, and four of them in the top 5. Considering the conventionality of my list, I'm also glad to have been one of the two people to vote for Lisa Stansfield and one of the three to boost My Bloody Valentine.
And the honorable mentions:
Let Them Eat Bingo
Interiors (my #11 choice)
Sex Packets (I got to know this through the vinyl version, which omits "Gutfest '89")
Under the Red Sky
More a Legend Than a Band
Time's Up
I'm Breathless
F.U.N. '90 (would have thought there'd be more Mekons fans around here)
Down to Earth
I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got
Demolition Plot J-7 (ditto Pavement fans)
Ragged Glory
Not many albums here that I'd rank as all-time classics, but a lot of likeable and listenable work.
I may do some occasional posts on particular classical works if I have anything useful or interesting to say about them. (Although I probably ought to just start my own web page as a vehicle for such writing.) The lists I'd have submitted as votes will probably show up here at some point eventually. Thanks to Brad and Chris for their constructive criticism, and to everyone who thumbed my post (whether up or down)!
Of course, I could publish myself too. I'd make less money and get less swag, but wouldn't lose a lot of value either way if I worked as hard at it. But it's always been a marginal proposition, as taking Recycled Goods private showed.
Tom -- I get where you're going with that. This is, of course, the reason why I displayed that draft in the first place. I'll re-write and post my revisions in this space tomorrow.
Thank you Brad, and all other supporters. Perhaps we should all write our own letters? Please advise...
Wait a minute...Francis Davis is getting ousted too? Oh, that's ****ing ridiculous.
In the latter vein, I'm aware that the Voice's Jazz Critics Poll has been killed this year, and that Francis Davis will no longer be writing for the Voice (although he has one more article in the pipeline -- one that's been there about as long as my Jazz CG draft).
I'll also note that people who know her tell me that Johnston isn't the "villain" here -- the favorite seems to be the New Times brass, or maybe it's just capitalism. But manners would have helped.
Current listening: the Wire EP Cam was mentioning, followed by one of their B-side compilations - I do confess to a weakness for these boys' noodling when it's good, and their hit/miss ratio in that regard is pretty good. And of course there's:
"Lock up your hats."
One can't take in this piece of rich and useful advice too often. It reminds me, just a little, of the still-shocking words sung by Allan Clarke:
"Peer upon a ply
Baby, yilba my nye
My temperature started to rise."
Whose wouldn't?
Greg, I'd agree that "Cold Kisses" ain't a bad song at all...it was more a matter of what would fit on my personal comp.
This is my first pass at my note to the Village Voice.
I am thinking of sending a note to Maura Johnston at the Village Voice on behalf of Tom Hull and his Jazz Consumer Guide.
I think -- obviously -- that Tom does consistently smart, thoughtful, and insightful work, and what he does needs an outlet.
I will draft a letter and post it out on this blog, as well as my own Downloader's Diary Facebook page. Anyone who wishes to amend their name to this letter can email me at
downloadersdiary at gmail dot com
Or hell, write your own. Let's Occupy the Village Voice.
There are too few music writers with brains and imagination and (this is so important) historical background who can put words together and make them resonate. Tom is one of them. Let's do this.

A Useful Management Tool for Understanding Correctional Mental Health Services by Robert J. Powitzky, Ph.D. Corrections has a new challenge. With a proud history of facing formidable challenges such as prison gangs, irrational psychopathic violence, prison litigation, and ever-changing sentencing guidelines, corrections has evolved into a proud profession with the development of sophisticated management tools including management strategies for prison gangs, effective supermax technology/procedures, professional accreditation standards, quantitative custody/security classification systems, and unit-management theory. The new challenge facing corrections today that will require that same professional ingenuity is the recent phenomenon of a dramatic increase of those persons in correctional care and custody who have some form of mental illness. This phenomenon is a widely accepted fact by professionals working in jails, courts, community corrections, probation, parole, and prisons (Sigurdson, 2000, and Pinta, 2000). However, a void continues to exist for a common sense, useful management tool a framework -for adequately defining the problems and for engineering solutions related to the management and treatment of persons with mental illness in the correctional setting. Correctional administrators need to know how to efficiently manage their scarce resources in a manner that meets constitutional requirements. Legislators need useful information to make critical decisions for allocating those scarce tax dollars and for development of necessary oversight guidelines. Consumers and advocacy groups need to understand the nature of the problems and what is being done to address those problems. Researchers and academicians need comparable data to formulate and analyze hypotheses. The purpose of this article is to present such a management tool to address those needs. We still do not ask useful questions! Legislators, advocacy groups, fiscal analysts, mental health professionals, and others frequently ask questions about mental health issues that correctional administrators find very difficult -if not impossible - to answer. The reason for the difficulty is the questions are not useful questions. One needs to know how to ask useful questions in order to get useful information. The following are three of the most common examples of frequently asked, non-useful questions: 1. "How many offenders have a serious mental illness?" OR "What is the prevalence of serious mental illness in your correctional population?" These seemingly straightforward questions ignore the fact that there is no widely accepted operational definition of "serious mental illness." Prevalence studies have included a wide range of definitions from a) those persons with a history of mental health treatment, to b) only those diagnosed with certain mental illnesses, to c) all mental disorders found in Axis I of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual IV-Revised (DSM-IVR) (Ditton, 1999; Fasel and Copyright 2002

Comments about Maui Jim Dorado Polarized Sunglasses:
These represent my second attempt at getting away from Native glasses which have let me down repeatedly. Julbo's didn't cut it either.
So far I'm very happy with them other than the price. The lenses are large and cover more area on my face than I expected, including my eyebrows. I purchased the non-asphalt/grey pair and am happy with the optics performance. There seemed to be a slight bit of magnification/distortion when I first put the glasses on but I adjusted quickly. They perform well in low light and I was expecting that on bright bright days they wouldn't be enough - I was pleasantly mistaken. To give you an idea of the lense opacity, while they have a slightly reflective surface you can still see a persons eyes through the lenses. Good for making eye contact with drivers perhaps.
In all, a great set of glasses other than the price tag.

A therapeutic antibody targeting BACE1 inhibits amyloid-β production in vivo. Sci Transl Med. 2011 May 25;3(84):84ra43. PubMed Abstract
I speculate that the Genentech researchers would already have set out to design humanized TfR/BACE1 antibodies for human clinical trials in the near future. A few additional preclinical results are of interest—for example, chronic effect of anti-TfR/BACE1 on Aβ burden, behavioral effects through reduction in Aβ oligomers or increases in sAPPα levels, and any side effects by saturating TfR-mediated BBB transcytosis, although these are minor issues.
This approach would readily be applicable to other therapeutic antibodies against AD, especially on passive... Read more
This approach would readily be applicable to other therapeutic antibodies against AD, especially on passive Aβ immunotherapy. Our colleagues at Tokyo University (Drs. Tomita, Hayashi, and Takatori) have raised a neutralizing antibody against the extracellular domain of nicastrin, a putative substrate receptor of the γ-secretase, initially aiming at reducing Aβ in the brain. The obstacle was the antibody's low penetration into the brain parenchyma, so they first tackled Notch-dependent tumors with the reagents (SfN meeting, 2010). We would love to adopt such an elegant technology in our antibodies.
With such a powerful therapeutic in our hands, the ultimate questions are when to start Aβ lowering therapy (AD dementia, MCI due to AD, or at the preclinical AD stage?), how long to treat, and what would be the best endpoint(s). View all comments by Takeshi Iwatsubo
BACE1 is an intracellular target. This raises a level of challenge for antibody action beyond the blood-brain barrier, though it is not impossible to overcome.
Blocking BACE1 will reduce new amyloid deposition, but accumulating data in the field are increasingly convincing that simply blocking production does not reduce pre-existing deposits, which in humans begin to form many years before symptoms. An argument might be made that BACE1 inhibition may nonetheless reduce oligomers. But this assumes the plaques are not breathing oligomers on their periphery, and that oligomers are the toxic agent in AD, which is still a big assumption.
The idea of bispecific antibodies is an intriguing one. If this inhibits BACE activity, it might also inhibit transferrin receptor activity. The consequences of that remain to be seen.
Clearly, inhibiting BACE is a meaningful target for AD. I suspect that an antibody may be as good or better at hitting the... Read more
Clearly, inhibiting BACE is a meaningful target for AD. I suspect that an antibody may be as good or better at hitting the target with fewer side effects than a small-molecule drug. Still, a small molecule wins on the basis of cost. This is a creative approach that deserves further evaluation. View all comments by Dave Morgan
However, this approach may have some downsides as a treatment for Alzheimer's disease. The clearance of the mono-specific BACE1 antibody was dependent on the level of BACE1 expression; BACE1 expression has been reported to increase in Alzheimer's disease, making it more challenging to predict the therapeutic level that would be needed in a patient to achieve efficacy. Even with the improved central exposure achieved with the bispecific antibody, the modest, but effective, brain antibody concentrations required a high plasma antibody level, which may be difficult to safely maintain. In non-human primates, the changes in CSF Aβ levels were also variable, which could be reflecting an inability to precisely control the degree of Aβ reduction that results from treatment. Theoretically, this approach will reduce both Aβ40 and Aβ42, as well as other Aβ species, although only Aβ40 was measured in this study. If the ratio of Aβ42/Aβ40 is an important aspect of the pathophysiology of AD, any approach that simultaneously lowers both peptides may not be as effective as a targeted approach to lower Aβ42 levels.
Overall, the combined studies are a significant leap forward in understanding how passive immunization approaches could be harnessed to treat central nervous system disorders, and how efficacious concentrations of antibody can be achieved in brain. It will be exciting to watch the further evolution of this approach toward safe and effective treatments for CNS diseases. View all comments by Barbara Tate

DROUGHT-RESISTANT CORN: Monsanto is seeking approval of the first strain of corn that tolerates drought.

The Best Science Writing Online 2012

Climate change has yet to diminish crop yields in the U.S. corn belt but scientists expect drought to become more common due to global warming in coming years. That could impact everything from the price of food to the price of fuel planet-wide. As a result, for the last several years agribusiness giants like Monsanto, Pioneer and Syngenta have been pursuing genetic modification to enable the corn plant to thrive even without enough rain. And now the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is considering approving a new corn hybrid genetically engineered to thrive on less water—the first time such a corn strain would be available.
"Working on something like drought is more complex than introducing a trait like insect resistance," says plant breeder Bob Reiter, vice president of biotechnology at Monsanto, the company seeking approval for the new strain. "We have screened through thousands of genes in the past several years, more than in the entire history for the herbicide-resistant or insect protection."
Monsanto researchers, working with German chemical giant BASF Corp., settled on a gene called "cold shock protein B" that is native to the microbe known as Bacillus subtilis, a soil bacteria whose special skill is to shut down, for years if need be, when environmental conditions such as drought would otherwise kill it. The new gene won't confer that capability to corn but rather will help to maintain normal growth even when the crop is provided with less water than normal.
"What it seems to be doing, it's helping the plant basically to maintain more normal metabolic levels in the plant as opposed to trying to shut those processes down under stress," Reiter explains. "Next year, in 2012, we will be doing farm trials with farmers to evaluate the gene in different hybrids."
In fact, the new gene will have to work in concert with other introduced genetic packages, such as the genes that make some corn hybrids survive application of glyphosate, the Monsanto-produced herbicide more commonly known as Roundup. "There are 34,000 genes in a corn plant," Reiter says. "Having 10 or 12 or even 15 more express correctly and work in concert, I don't think it's a big challenge."
In field trials in drier regions of the western U.S., the drought-tolerant corn delivered seven to 10 extra bushels per acre, according to Monsanto and BASF. The USDA estimates that average annual global corn crop losses due to "moderate drought" are 15 percent per year already.
At the same time, human health or environmental impacts remain unknown for this new strain. The U.S. National Research Council found in 2004, however, that no adverse health effects have been found that can be attributed to genetic engineering despite American corn consumption rising from 5.85 kilograms per capita annually in 1980 to 15 kilograms annually by 2008, while the portion of the crop genetically engineered rose from zero to 80 percent over the same period. The USDA will collect public comments on the proposal to allow wider use of such corn until July 11 and then make its final decision.

Maryland and the War of 1812 (Part Two)
By Renée S. Gordon
ABOVE PHOTO: Calvert Marine Museum's Drum Point lighthouse.
President James Madison sent a war message to Congress on June 1, 1812 listing reasons for the necessity of declaring war on Great Britain. Chief among the reasons was the fact that "British cruisers have been in the continued practice of violating the American flag on the great highway of nations, and of seizing and carrying off persons sailing under it..."
The instances of impressments were numerous and the most famous case occurred in June of 1807 when the HMS Leopard halted the USS Chesapeake. They demanded that they be allowed to search for British deserters. The Chesapeake's captain refused and the Leopard fired on them, killing two and wounding 18. After the American ship's surrender the British searched the ship and seized four crewmembers. Three of the sailors removed were black, David Martin, John Strachan and William Ware and they were held until 1811. The fourth man was British and was hung for desertion. This incident led to a diplomatic crisis between the two countries and is considered a major step on the path to war.
On June 18, 1812 the United States declared war on the United Kingdom and the Chesapeake Bay, the largest estuary in North America, would play a pivotal role in the war. The British sailed into the Chesapeake and raided towns and villages, blockaded ports and induced slaves to join their forces with the promise of freedom," All those who may be disposed to emigrate from the United States, will, with their families, be received on board of His Majesty's Ships.... They will have their choice of either entering into His Majesty's Forces, or of being sent as free settlers to British possessions." The English formed the ex-slaves into three units of Colonial Marines. Ultimately more than 4,000 enslaved individuals would be freed making it the United States' biggest emancipation until the 1860s.
In July of 1813 Americans proposed a response to British incursions, the establishment of an 18-barge flotilla under the command of Joshua Barney. This tiny armada would be known as the "mosquito fleet" because of the size and speed of the vessels. Stories of their most daring escapades are recounted in the 560-acre Jefferson Patterson Park & Museum in St. Leonard, Maryland where you can view the site of the two Battles of St. Leonard's Creek. This was the largest naval engagement to take place in Maryland's waters.
The state of Maryland's 38,000-sq. ft. Archeological Conservation Laboratory is within the park. The mission of the MAC Lab is to preserve, protect and research the 7.5-million artifacts housed there. The oldest artifacts are 12,000 years old and the lab maintains a collection of comparative artifacts to make identification easier. Guided tours allow visitors to watch conservators as they work. Call for information. 410-586-8550.
Point Farm, the Patterson home and gardens, a contact period Indian village and some of the 125 archeological sites on the property can also be toured. www.jefpat.orh
Sotterley Plantation is a 95-acre Tidewater plantation that dates from the early 18th-century. It is the oldest extant plantation house in the state and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. At the onset of the war it was 7,000-acres and was one of the largest slaveholding plantations in the region. The British raided Sotterley and later the Battle of St. Leonard's Creek could be viewed from the property. A small militia defended the plantation but they ran away as did 48 of the slaves.
Audio and guided tours of the house and grounds, including an 1830's era slave cabin, are offered. Highlight of the house tour are the Chinese Chippendale staircase and original pine paneling. "The Choice," a living history program asks visitors to consider whether or not they would have joined the British had they been enslaved at the time. It will be presented until 2014. Sotterley is part of the National Park Service Network to Freedom. The program is free but reservations are required. www.sotterley.org
The Calvert Marine Museum was founded to interpret regional maritime history and the biological diversity of the Chesapeake Bay. Galleries have displays on estuarine biology, Niocene fossils, touch tanks and colorful murals with hidden objects just waiting to be discovered.
Joshua Barney scuttled the Chesapeake Flotilla to avoid their seizure by the British after they were blockaded in August of 1814. A wreck was discovered in the Patuxent River that is believed to be that of Barney's flagship the USS Scorpion. The vessel was encased in alluvial sediment that protected some of the recovered artifacts. The museum has an area devoted to the War of 1812 and it showcases several of these articles including a grog cup that belonged to a black mariner, a deck stove and a candleholder complete with candle. www.calvertmarinemuseum.com
Annapolis was already more than 160 years old when the War of 1812 began. In the 1640s a band of Puritans left Virginia for religious reasons and in 1649 they founded a colony they named Providence. They moved their original settlement and in 1694 they named their town Annapolis in honor of England's Princess Anne and made it the capital of the Royal Colony of Maryland. The city was laid out on a European street plan with streets moving outward from a central circle. Annapolis was the first peacetime capital of the nation from November 1783 until August 1784. www.visitannapolis.org
In 1808 two forts were built, Severn and Madison, to protect the waterway from piracy and British invasion. In 1845 when the forts were to be abandoned it was decided to establish the Naval School at Annapolis on 10-acres at Fort Severn. A prior facility, the Philadelphia Naval Asylum, was believed to have been amidst too many distractions. It was renamed the US Naval Academy in 1850.
Guided walking tours are offered daily and begin at the Armel-Leftwich Visitor Center inside Gate One. The 1.5-hour tour includes Tecumseh Court, the Crypt of John Paul Jones, the Main Chapel, Bancroft Hall and the country's largest collection of Beaux-Arts buildings. Visitors over 16 years of age must have photo ID.
Bancroft Hall houses more than 4,000 midshipmen in the second largest dormitory in the world. The building has 1,700 rooms, 4.8-miles of corridors, 33-acres of floor space and its own zip code. The first floor features a display with the names of famous alumni and several examples of dorm rooms. This was the first building to have electricity and rain baths, referred to today as showers.
Though Scottish, John Paul Jones is buried in a crypt on the grounds. He died in Paris and was forgotten.
When it was decided to bury him at the USNA no one was certain where he was buried originally. After a search that lasted from 1899-1905 his remains were located and identified by his hat and the fact that he was well preserved. In 1917 he was reinterred and his magnificent tomb was made of 21-tons of Grand Antique des Pyrenees marble donated by France. The tomb rests atop bronze dolphins and is adorned with bronze seaweed. www.usna.edu
Not included on the official tour is the US Naval Academy Museum, a site not to be missed. The museum presents an outstanding interpretation of the history of the US Navy and the Naval Academy on the first floor but in my opinion the second level is even better. Highlights on this floor include dioramas of aspects of the life of a mariner both on and off the ship and the Rogers Collection of ship models created from the 17th to the early 19th-centuries.
One of the most unique displays I have seen is also presented here. During the Napoleonic era French POWs were allowed to sell handicrafts they made to the locals to earn money. Some of them began making ship models from memory out of bones from the food they ate. The largest collection of these models is showcased in this museum. They are exquisite and often contain details missing in other models because men who actually worked aboard the ships made them.
The gem of this gallery is a model of the HMS Victory. Fifteen men were given plans for the vessel and offered their freedom for crafting it in 1807. It was displayed in St. Paul's Cathedral until Queen Victoria had it stored. During WWII Churchill had it auctioned off for the war effort. E. F. Hutton purchased it and it eventually made its way to the museum.
A first floor section devoted to the War of 1812 features a rarely seen sea anchor with a canvas cover for use in adverse weather conditions. www.usna.edu/Museum
St. Michaels is the perfect place to conclude your visit. The Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum not only has galleries devoted to the history of Maryland's contribution to the war effort and American seafaring but it is also boasts a working boat yard and a total of ten exhibit buildings. The museum also tells the story of how, after the war, some American ships were used in the slave trade because the same characteristics that made them ideal as part of the "mosquito fleet" made them ideal as slave cargo ships. www.cbmm.org
Legend has it that St. Michaels was "the town that fooled the British." The English blockaded the bay in 1813 and by August their ships reached Kent Island. The townspeople evacuated but put lanterns in the treetops so that the British would overshoot the town.
The Treaty of Ghent ending the War of 1812 was signed on December 24, 1814 though the fighting continued until August of 1815. The treaty essentially returned everything to its status prior to the war. For the enslaved it meant they would not receive freedom and the British were required to pay reparations to owners for any "property" removed or return it.
Maryland always has something extra to offer and there are several trails you can follow from here. The town has sites connected with Frederick Douglass and the city celebrates Frederick Douglass Day on May 5th.
St. Michaels also provides outstanding accommodations. The original house at the Inn at Perry Cabin was built circa 1815. In 1999 the Orient Express purchased the 6-bedroom inn and today the opulent inn is considered one of the best hotels in the world. www.perrycabin.com
The Five Gables Inn and Spa is another wonderful option. The inn is spread out over a series of historic buildings in the heart of the city and most rooms have fireplaces, balconies and whirlpool tubs. www.fivegables.com
The National War of 1812 Bicentennial Launch takes place from June 13-19, 2012. Make plans to celebrate. www.starspangled200.org

I heard a clip yesterday of at least 20 pundits and journalists use the word "Presidential" when talking about Obama's photo op with Chris Christie. He looked sooo "Presidential" walking through that destroyed neighborhood. Some on MSNBC almost seemed excited that this disaster may indeed benefit Obama on election day.
I guess "Presidential" is not something you can be just any old day of your Presidency. It must be something that you can only use at certain times. He must not have been in the mood to be "Presidential" when Ambassodor Stevens and his men were calling for help.
I know that this was taken down from facebook, but it seems so appropriate. Hopefully the CT censors aren't as sensative as the facebook censors.
Obama called the seals and they killed Bin Laden
The seals called Obama and they were ignored.
I guess Hillary was right. Not everyone is qualified to take that 3 AM phone call.
I guess you are dismissing the news from the CIA this morning... or have just chosen to ignore it. Ignorance is bliss...

By Paul Woolverton Staff writer
Hurricane Sandy clouded the skies Saturday morning but did nothing to dampen the crowd's enthusiasm for Fayetteville State University's Bronco Homecoming Parade.
Young and old, thousands of people lined Murchison Road for the annual celebration that brings together alumni and friends.
Grace Hart of Fayetteville, who graduated in 1959, and Doris Parker of Kinston, a 1953 grad, have been friends for decades. Between the two of them, they said they have missed only three homecoming parades since their graduations.
"I enjoy supporting my school," Parker said. "It's my grandfather's school and my school."
She and Hart graduated from the institution when it was Fayetteville State College. In Parker's grandfather's day, she said, it was the State Colored Normal School.
Hart said the parades have grown over the years, with many new marching bands and floats added.
This year, the lineup had more than 100 units - floats, bands, community groups and others.
Nearby, 8-year-old Jada Howard of South Carolina waited impatiently to watch a parade for the first time. The parade started more than a mile from where she sat.
"Finally!" Jada said about 9:30 a.m., when her ear caught the first horn blares and drum beats of the FSU marching band from down the street. She had been waiting for an hour.
But it was worth it.
"I think it's pretty cool!" she said after the band marched past and a man on horseback trotted by.
Jada was visiting her aunt Gladys Jackson of Fayetteville, who graduated in May, and Jackson's friend LaToya Pacheco of Fayetteville, a 2011 grad.
Like their fellow alumni from the mid-20th century, Jackson and Pacheco said they were drawn to homecoming out of love and loyalty.
When FSU Chancellor James Anderson rode by in a car, Jackson waved.
"I got my diploma from him," she said. "I got my degree from him."
Just up the road, 3-year-old Madison Shelton sat on father LeAnthony Shelton's shoulders and tapped on his head along with the beat of the E.E. Smith High School marching band.
"The Magnificent Marching Machine," Shelton said with pride.
Shelton, 25, said he has brought Madison to FSU's homecoming parades since she was a baby, as his mother did with him when he was growing up. His mother is an FSU graduate.
"I'm from Fayetteville, and it's a family tradition," Shelton said. "We always came to the parade."
This year is the first that he could recall his mother missing it. She wasn't feeling well, he said.
Next to Shelton, Jacques and Victoria Milsap sat in outdoor chairs. He had his camera ready; she had her camera phone. Their son, Seventy-First High School junior Tyrique Cashwell, would soon be marching by with his tuba in the school band.
"He's been in marching band since he was in the sixth grade," Victoria Milsap said. "He doesn't even walk when we're going places." He marches, she said.
The Seventy-First band, like the others, stirred the crowd with its music and marching routines.
