In Dongguan the Sauna most time will charge for the girl and additional for the room. The room rate for a session (around 120 minutes) will be between RMB 250,- and RMB 300,-. In some locations you also can stay the whole night for this rate (if you "check in" after 10 pm). The girl will leave after the session, but you can stay there overnight).
For the girl you have to pay between RMB 300,- and RMB 800, depends on location and on the girls category. Same than Dongguan KTVs, also the sauna will seperate the girls in different categories, starting from a normal "neighborhood girl", than the beauty girl up to the model.
The Sauna Service is not the same over all cities of China. In Dong Guan, especially Chang Ping, you will find a lot of sauna parlors connected much more to a hotel. For example in a Shanghai, the sauna could be located in a hotel, but most time they will use a seperate entry and also the rooms have nothing to do with the hotel. In Dongguan very often the connection is much more closed. You pick up your massage girl in the sauna, but than you both will be guided to a normal hotel room for the sauna experience. The service will be the same and some sauna locations will offer very luxury room, including a whirlpool and so on.
A normal session will be around 120 minutes (starting when you are alone with the girls). When you arrive there, they first will ask you to take of clothes and you will get some kind of "bath trouser" and shirt. Than some Sauna Clubs first will send you to take a shower, others first will allow you to select a girl and take shower together with her.
What you can expect to get (different from Sauna to Sauna):
Tip: Even you will find it on the "Menue", don`t expect to get a professional massage in a Sauna or Massage Parlor. Most girls here can make you very happy, but not with their massage skills.
Even this kind of sauna and massage entertainment will be only provided in a hidden way, you still can be sure it is also well know by the local officials. There is a very intersting story about a video journalist form a local Television Station who went "undercover" to a Dongguan Sauna and after he left, he called the police. While he waited, he could see all the guest guided out by the stuff . And even the police station is just around the corner, even in 40 minutes still no police showed up.

Made a last minute trip to China via HKIA in early June 2015.
Mini flower street KTV is back in Changping! You need to have someone as a regular to bring you in. Lesser hostesses but better than nothing! Most importantly lesser checks now. Stay low profile if you are non Chinese looking and you will be fine.
Luckily my long time friend Toni (ISO Travel) is still based in Changping so I was able to get some action over there.
My advice is to be very discrete and speak english only if you need Toni's help.
I stay in hotel Haiyat houjie, please neead a beautifull girl for company on 17 -05-15
my email: email@example.com
Things really have changed a lot since the big Dongguan crackdown in Feb 2014. No more Sauna shops available in Dongguan and prices have sky rocketed!
Luckily my long time friend Toni (ISO Travel) is still based in Changping so I was able to get some action over there.
My advice is to be very discrete and speak english only if you need Toni's help.

Found Toni (ISO Travel) from Dongguan Nightlife Guide website. Got in touch and requested him to arrange Sauna sessions for my 3 days stay in Changping.
I am unable to speak Mandarin or Cantonese but it was a breeze as Toni assisted me to find what I wanted. He can speak good English. Also I was able to get good recommendations on popular masseuses from him. Saved me a lot of time!
I also found out he has a website with many info on Dongguan.
Until then it's back to the boring States. :(
Hi Which Sauna provided the Nuru Massage?? Please advice. Thanks!
I tried Eurasia sauna yesterday evening, 6th floor. Many people because of the Canton fair, but they have a lot of girls, also in KTV, and I choosed 2 for 900 rmb. one alone was 600 or 700 so it worth to take 2. very good experience but no nuru massage, and they are not lesbian.

The information we publish and how we respond to requests for information are important aspects of accountability.
We are currently publishing data compliant to the transparency standards of the International Aid Transparency Initiative (IATI).
IATI aims to make information about aid spending easier to access, use and understand. As a result we have started to publish basic information about our projects. This also reflects the commitment to transparency outlined in our Open Information policy.

Police: Alleged Beer Thieves Arrested After Scaling Down 10-Story OC Hotel
Top Features
SANTA ANA (CBSLA.com) — Authorities say two alleged beer thieves, who scaled down a 10-story hotel in Orange County to allegedly evade capture, were in police custody on Sunday.
A statement issued by the Santa Ana Police Department said officers responded to a Mobile Gas station on Saturday afternoon following a report of a beer theft.
Upon arriving on scene, they were told that two men in their 20s had been involved in two beer runs.
"Following the second theft, the clerk followed the two suspects and saw that they entered the Embassy Suites," the statement said.
Officers, working in conjunction with hotel management, said they located the two men who were reportedly partying on the tenth floor of the hotel, located on E. Dyer Road.
"When the officers attempted to make contact, the suspects fled through the balcony door and started scaling down the building by jumping from balcony to balcony," according to the statement.
The suspects — identified by police as 22-year-old Gabriel Anthony Sauceda and 20-year-old Chad Alexander Walker — were eventually detained. However, police said Sauceda broke his leg in several places.
Both suspects were booked on suspicion of burglary, police said.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) - Brandon Inge hit his first homer for Oakland and drove in four runs as the Athletics roughed up rookie Matt Moore in a 9-5 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Sunday.
Jonny Gomes and Daric Barton knocked in two runs apiece for the A's, who took two of three at Tropicana Field to hand the Rays their first series loss since Boston took three of four April 13-16.
Tampa Bay dropped its second straight, falling to 13-3 at home, and failed again to become the first major league team to reach 20 wins.
Inge, released by Detroit on April 26 after 11 seasons with the Tigers, hit a three-run shot off Moore (1-2) in the third inning to give the A's a 5-4 lead after Tommy Milone struggled in the first.

Eco Alkalines™ Batteries Renew Commitment to Going Carbon Neutral With the CarbonFree® Product Certification Program Administered by NSF International
ANN ARBOR, Mich., BETHESDA, Md. & BARRIE, Ontario, Canada (September 18, 2012) - Carbonfund.org Foundation and NSF International are pleased to announce the renewal of LEI Electronics' Eco Alkalines™ batteries into the CarbonFree® Product Certification Program. In addition to completing a carbon footprint, the batteries continue to meet and exceed some of the most important international standards such as PAS 2050 (carbon label standard) and ISO 14044 (life cycle assessment standard).
LEI's Eco Alkalines™ batteries are entering their third year under the CarbonFree® Product Certification Program offered through NSF International's Sustainability Division. CarbonFree® certified products are available in multiple countries and LEI reports increasing sales as the product continues to gain acceptance from consumers seeking a cleaner way to meet their battery needs. For example, retailers such as Best Buy, Costco, Grainger, Walmart, Amazon, The Home Depot and many others are recognizing the value of these batteries and offering them to their eco-conscious customers. Commercial customers also report using LEI's Eco Alkalines™ batteries to assist in meeting their green goals.
LEI Electronics Eco Alkalines™ batteries may also contribute to earning LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) credits. LEED was developed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) to provide building owners and operators a concise framework for identifying and implementing practical and measurable green building design, construction, operation and maintenance solutions. LEED is based on a credit system and points are allocated based on the potential environmental impacts and human benefits of each credit. Under the current LEED credit system, Eco Alkalines™ batteries may contribute to earning one prerequisite and one point under the LEED category of Existing Buildings: Operations and Maintenance (EBOM) rating system.
Lionel Lalonde, Partner and Vice President of Sales at Eco Alkalines™, credits their steadily increasing sales to the growing consumer demand for sustainable products and the competitive market edge and product confidence associated with the CarbonFree® Product Certification Program. "Certification sets us apart from our competitors," says Lalonde. "We are currently the world's only disposable alkaline battery with this certification. We have found that certification has helped to increase our market share and create customer and brand loyalty among consumers who are seeking to purchase and use eco-friendly products."
CarbonFree® certification also lends credibility to Eco Alkalines™, a relatively newer brand, in a marketplace of well-known battery products. "Although many products claim to be 'green' or 'eco-friendly,' these terms are often used loosely or without a clear description of what that means. We wanted third-party verification from two trusted and recognizable organizations – Carbonfund.org and NSF International - so that consumers would understand and have faith in our green claims," added Lalonde.
Eric Carlson, President of Carbonfund.org Foundation, agrees, "Eco Alkalines™ batteries are an important solution to climate change, providing consumers a simple and affordable way to meet their daily needs while limiting their impact on our environment and supporting innovative carbon-reducing projects globally. Eco Alkalines™ is continuing its commitment to environmental protection and proof positive that what is good for the planet is also good business."
"By maintaining its CarbonFree® certification through NSF International, LEI's Eco Alkalines™ batteries continue to lead the disposable battery industry to a more sustainable future and provide businesses and consumers with a certified carbon neutral battery that will help them achieve their green building and sustainability goals," said Tom Bruursema, General Manager of NSF Sustainability.
Manufactured with 0 percent mercury, lead, and cadmium, Eco Alkalines™ batteries set the standard for responsible disposable alkaline batteries. Eco Alkalines™ brand batteries have ZERO of these heavy metals while all other batteries carry at least one or more of these toxic elements. Eco Alkalines™ batteries use recycled materials where possible and contain 98 percent plus recyclable content. While they are considered landfill safe, recycling is still advised where available. Eco Alkalines™ also have a patented leak resistant seal, ensuring they will not leak into devices.

Helping Arizona Go Green and Save Green
Carbonfund.org supports several carbon reduction and energy efficiency projects such as the Truck Stop Electrification system, a project that is supported in part by Clean Air Cab's fleet emissions neutralization program.
Clean Air Cab is central Arizona's first carbon-neutral taxicab fleet; they partner with Carbonfund.org to calculate and neutralize the carbon emissions generated by its fleet of Toyota Priuses.
"We chose Carbonfund.org because unlike most companies selling offsets, Carbonfund.org is a non-profit. Clean Air Cab believes in giving back and we are happy to support a non-profit organization," affirms Clean Air Cab founder, Steve Lopez.
The company started by selecting the Toyota Prius, a fuel efficient vehicle for its taxicab fleet. A Ford Crown Victoria, the "traditional" taxicab vehicle, produces two and half times the amount of CO2 per year compared to the 2010 Toyota Prius. But the Prius still creates carbon emissions, so each quarter Clean Air Cab checks its total fleet mileage with Carbonfund.org to ensure that it has secured a sufficient quantity of carbon credits to completely neutralize fleet emissions.
Clean Air Cab's mission "to make it affordable and convenient for everyone to go green" is in lockstep with Carbonfund.org. We are happy to partner with an environmentally conscientious company that provides a carbon neutral transportation alternative to central Arizona communities.
Calculate and Offset Your Wedding's Greenhouse Gas Emissions
June has traditionally been the most popular month for weddings. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control's National Vital Statistics Report for 2009, the latest data available on marriages, June is tied with July and closely followed by August, then September, and then October in order of most to least popular months for weddings. This means wedding season is just getting underway.
Travel, whether by air or car, generates large amounts of CO2 emissions into the atmosphere, and for most weddings is the biggest contributor to its carbon footprint. Carbonfund.org offers a helpful and easy-to-use emissions calculator to determine the level of carbon dioxide your wedding events will emit into the air.
It's simple and affordable to have a carbon neutral wedding. If you don't know the exact numbers try a preset amount. For example, the 15-ton preset option may be right for you if you have more than 100 guests and many of them are flying. The 50-ton option can be used for larger weddings of over 200 guests, many of whom are flying, or destination weddings, which involve a lot of travel.
As you prepare for the beginning of a new life together, it is important to share this special time with friends and family. Your wedding is a celebration of the future, and you can make it a celebration for our planet's future as well!
Go to http://www.carbonfund.org/weddings to learn more about how you can offset the global warming emissions impact of your special day.

Statement of Professional Concerns/Aspirations if Elected:
School library educators face many challenges in the ever-changing world of librarianship and K-12 education. We need a strong association to help navigate issues such as accreditation, the implementation of national standards, practicum supervision, etc. As a member of ESLS for the past several years, I have enjoyed the opportunity to work with colleagues from around the nation to improve our work with pre-service school librarians. This organization has helped me grow professionally, and to develop a network of friends from other campuses. I welcome the chance to serve as Chair-Elect of ESLS to continue the great work being done by this ALA Section. If elected, I will work with the ESLS leadership, and membership, to plan collaborative projects that will help us better teach future school librarians. Finally, I will work to ensure that the good work of ESLS is recognized by the larger ALA community.

The four piece, hailing from Mexico, Trinidad and England but now resident in the suitably cosmopolitan city of Bristol, make feel-good, sunshine-happy music for cool and groovy summer nights. Described variously as pinball electro, chirp-hop or even electro-funk-folk pop, one thing's for certain: you're unlikely to have heard anything quite like it before. Imagine an exotic trip through Highlife-style guitar licks, Mariachi-band trumpets, percolating basslines, disco handclaps, soaring flute solos, crazy arpeggio synth lines and video game bleeps and bloops – and you'll get the general idea.
Floating above this joyous world-pop is the voice of Northumbrian-born Poppy Villiers-Stuart, a singer whose melodies are suffused with local folk-singing traditions and "A passion for sharing the oneness in everything". An unlikely match you might think for Mexico City's Pablo Perezzarate, who brings a uniquely Latino perspective from his chaotic, urban hometown but in Poppy Perezz they've somehow found a way of meshing their divergent cultures – creating a place where the name of the game is a celebration of life, love and light.
The band began in 2007 as Poppy and Pablo set off on their romantic journey together, the songs reflecting the excitement and quirkiness of their blossoming love. Initially performing live as a duo, they decided to expand the line-up to create a more exciting stage presence. After experimenting with both brass and string players, it was the addition of a killer rhythm section that proved to be the final missing jigsaw piece. Tony Bailey, an experienced drummer from Trinidad, was invaluable to the recording of the soon-to-be released debut album; his enthusiasm and percussion skills key in taking the band's sound to a new, more organic level. Bassist extraordinaire and native Bristolian William Hallet meanwhile, has brought rootsy bass lines and his own insane sense of humour to the (already quite happening) party.
Recent performances have taken the band to UK festivals such as Larmer Tree as well as venues across London, Brighton, Oxford and Bristol. Plus, as you might expect from such a peripatetic group, they've also played shows in Mexico City, Paris and Berlin. And just in case all that isn't glamorous enough for you, this time last year they were being 'Introduced' by Tom Robinson on BBC 6Music and playing at Vampire Weekend's after-show party. This time next year, who knows where they might be.

Canon PowerShot A520
Great AF, build, lens and exposures combine with a nice price and smaller, lighter camera sure to appeal to anyone wanting a sophisticated 'point and shooter'.
Standard AA batteries (supplied) will last for almost 10-shots! You'll need to budget for a decent set of rechargeable AAs. Noise over ISO 400 is intrusive and the camera does not so much leaps from the starting blocks as crawl onto the track.
Canon's A-series of digital cameras have been the company's mainstay in the budget market and the new A520 (there's also an almost identical 3.2MP, A510 version too) is the new top of the Canon budget tree. A thorough revamp brings it right up to date and sees a very competitive £175 asking price, making it an affordable little camera and one sure to appeal to the masses.
The changes from its A85 predecessor are not immediately obvious (unless you have both to hand) but the A520 is smaller and lighter by 70-grams thanks largely to the new model using just two AAs, the 'bloatier' A85 needed four of the blighters. Another change for the smaller is the adoption of SD/MMC memory cards, forsaking good old Compact Flash and something Canon is running out across all its lower-end models.
Another bonus is the new lens, which provides a 3.6x optical zoom range of 35-140mm that has a fast, F/2.6 maximum aperture. The new camera uses a slightly larger, 1/2.5-inch sensor (the A85 used a 1/2.7-inch CCD) the camera has a slightly faster capture rate of around 1.9fps, up from 1.5fps in the A85.
The camera uses a very reliable evaluative metering and AF set up and not less than 20 different shooting options. There are 15 scene modes including an Auto mode, a Panoramic 'stitch' setting, Beach and Snow modes and a Kids and Pets setting. But I believe the real crowd pleaser is a full set of manual options including aperture and shutter priority, full manual control and a program mode and you get AE-compensation to +/-2EV.
The 9-point AiAF setup is fast and reliable as is the great metering system, with well rendered flash exposures; white balance settings are excellent in all but tungsten lighting where the auto white balance fails to live up to the standard of the others.
The flash unit is a little under-powered but it makes up for this lack by being linked to the optical zoom, as the lens moves in and out so does the flash, so you can achieve a better overall coverage.
Other neat specifications range from spot and centre-weighted metering options and PictBridge direct printer/printing support to playback histogram display and an optical viewfinder. However the optical viewfinder lacks the finesse the rest of the camera displays, it's blurry, there's no dioptre adjustment and it's quiet small.
All the controls are neatly placed with on/off button and a large, top plate mode dial providing the route into all the main shooting options. Start up time is quite slow and there's noticeable shutter lag.
A lower-resolution colour screen than on the A85 (it's a 115,000-pixel screen the A85 had a 118,000-pixel LCD) is still very usable in all but the brightest of direct sunlight. Menu controls and options are displayed clearly with Canon's 'FUNC' (tion) menu providing shooting control outside (or rather on the inside menus) the controls on the body with direct access to exposure compensation, resolution and compression changes, white balance changes and ISO controls to name a few.
Image quality is very good indeed. Colours are natural and bright, the in-camera processing provides plenty of detail, in spite of highlights looking blown out on some spectral highlights. Higher ISO present a problem where noise and the affects of noise reduction processing clean away some detail but overall, very good.
The Canon PowerShot A520 might look a style icon compared with some of its brethren, but it is probably the ideal model for anyone buying a digital camera for the first time. It's simple to use, has resolution enough for prints of up to, say, 8 x10in and it takes cracking photos too. It also has a good range of auto and manual controls, so that as you become more confident, you can grow with your photography without quickly outgrowing the camera. Last and best of all, it's a cracking price too.

text: Hi Chris. Yes this is very cool stuff indeed. I think it's a fundamental innovation. But I do think it needs 1) wait on multiple socket 2) kill tasklet (1) is absolutely essential I think. (2) is needed for situations where a tasklet is "insane". You can emulate (1) using polling, but that is a lot of pointless work for the interpreter. It also might be nice to have the ability to timeout a channel recv or send. I'm working on a stackless infrastructure for socket servers and clients but it's not ready for public viewing. Anybody else got one they are willing to show? -- Aaron Watters _______________________________________________ Stackless mailing list Stackless at www.tismer.com http://www.tismer.com/mailman/listinfo/stackless

Ending years of speculation and covetousness, H&M is planning its first Tennessee store for Opry Mills.
The Swedish clothier will move into an undisclosed space at the megamall after a $1.45 million build by Bacon Construction, according to a permit issued Tuesday.
Known for its hip and inexpensive fashions, H&M — like fellow Swedes IKEA — is notoriously selective with its stores' locations. The company recently opened stores in Huntsville, Ala., and Serbia.
H&M's store would be the latest big win for Opry Mills owner Simon Property Group, who have since rebuilding from the 2010 flood been able to attract Earthbound Trading and Oshkosh B'Gosh, among others [2].

Berggruen Holdings
Nicolas Berggruen (born 10 August 1961) is a philanthropist and investor. A dual American and German citizen,[2] he is the founder and president of Berggruen Holdings, a private investment company and the Berggruen Institute, a think tank that works on addressing governance issues. Through the Berggruen Institute he is also a co-founder with the Huffington Post of The WorldPost, a media publication dedicated to global issues.[3] His father created the Museum Berggruen in Berlin. The press has sometimes referred to Berggruen as "the homeless billionaire" because he lives in hotels and does not own a home.[4]
Education and Business Career[edit]
Berggruen was born in Paris, the son of art collector Heinz Berggruen,[5] and actress Bettina Moissi. His father was of German-Jewish descent and his mother a Catholic[6] of Austrian and Albanian descent. His maternal grandfather was Albanian-Austrian actor Aleksandër Moisiu and his maternal grandmother, Maria, was from Vienna. Berggruen attended the École Alsacienne in Paris and Le Rosey in Switzerland, before completing a baccalauréat in Paris as a candidat libre in 1978.[7][8] That same year, at the age of 17, he worked as a trainee at London Merchant Securities in London, known today as LMS Capital Plc.[2] He subsequently obtained a Bachelor of Science in Finance and International Business from New York University in 1981. He later worked for the investment company Bass Brothers Enterprises, in its real estate group.[9] Between 1983 and 1987, Berggruen was a Principal at Jacobson and Co.
In New York, he began building his fortune, based on a trust fund worth about $250,000,[2] by buying real estate before moving on to stocks, bonds and a portfolio of private equity and venture funds as well as hedge funds.[8] He founded Berggruen Holdings, Inc. in 1984 to act as investment adviser to a Berggruen family trust that has made over 50 direct investments in businesses since its inception. In 1988, he and Julio Mario Santo Domingo, Jr. co-founded Alpha Investment Management, a hedge fund that was reportedly sold to Safra Bank in 2004.[10] Today, the investments Berggruen oversees through Berggruen Holdings are highly diversified.
Political Interests[edit]
In 2010, Berggruen founded the Berggruen Institute, a think and action tank through which he aspires to develop and implement more effective systems of governance.[11] Through the institute, he has launched several government reform projects including the 21st Century Council which is focused on global governance challenges, the Council for the Future of Europe, to support work on European integration and the Think Long Committee for California a bi-partisan effort focused on reforming California's system of governance.[12]
The 21st Century Council was formed in 2011 to address gaps in global governance. The group, chaired by Ernesto Zedillo, includes political leaders such as Fernando Henrique Cardoso, Gerhard Schröder, Gordon Brown, George Yeo, Pascal Lamy, and Zheng Bijian. The council also includes several Nobel laureates and leading thinkers such as Joseph Stiglitz, Michael Spence, Lawrence Summers, and Francis Fukuyama as well as business and technology leaders Eric Schmidt, Jack Dorsey, and Pierre Omidyar among many others.[13]
The Council for the Future of Europe, was formed in 2011. In a statement released by the group in September 2011, the group advocated for a stronger, more integrated Europe suggesting that Europe's economic crisis can only be solved by a political solution.[14] The group, chaired by Mario Monti, includes political leaders and thinkers such as Tony Blair, Gerhard Schröder, Felipe González, Doris Leuthard, Jacques Delors, and Robert Mundell.
His project in California, the Think Long Committee for California also includes members from politics, industry, and labor from both Democrats and Republicans, such as George Schultz, Condoleezza Rice, Willie Brown, Gray Davis, Eric Schmidt, Eli Broad and Laura Tyson.[15][16]
He has in the past funded the campaigns of U.S. Democrats, including Senator Charles Schumer of New York and President Barack Obama.[2]
Berggruen is a co-author (with Nathan Gardels) of a book on political governance: Intelligent Governance for the 21st Century: A Middle Way Between West and East, written with Nathan Gardels (Polity, 2012).[17] The Financial Times named it as one of their "Best Books of 2012."[18] In addition to English it has been translated into French, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Chinese, and is due to appear in Korean and Arabic.[citation needed] Berggruen is a dual United States and German citizen.[19]
Institutional Affiliations[edit]
Berggruen is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations,[20] Director on the Board of the Pacific Council on International Policy, member of Foro Iberoamericano, and member of the Commission on Global Ethics and Citizenship, chaired by former UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown. In 2013 he was appointed by Harvard's Center for European Studies as its first non-resident Senior Fellow,[21] and was named a member of the Brookings International Advisory Council and the NYU President's Global Council. [22] In 2014 he was named a member of the Leadership Council at Harvard Kennedy School's Center for Public Leadership, a member of Harvard University's Global Advisory Council, as well as a trustee of the Asia Society.[23]He is also a member of the World Economic Forum.[24]
Berggruen is the head of the Board of the Berggruen Museum in Berlin, the Los Angeles County Museum (LACMA), the International Councils of the Tate Gallery in London, and the Museum of Modern Art in New York. He is also a member of the Beyeler Foundation, the International Council of the Serpentine Gallery,[25] and Sotheby's International Advisory Board.[26]
In close cooperation with LACMA he has been making acquisitions intended for the museum, including artworks by Ed Ruscha, John Baldessari, Paul McCarthy, Mike Kelley, Charles Ray, Chris Burden, Bruce Nauman, Joseph Beuys, Gerhard Richter, Sigmar Polke, Martin Kippenberger, and Thomas Schütte.[8] Berggruen is interested in architecture and has collaborated on development projects with Richard Meier, Shigeru Ban, and David Adjaye.
Berggruen has committed to give the majority of his wealth through the Nicolas Berggruen Charitable Trust[27] and has joined The Giving Pledge - a campaign set up by Bill Gates and Warren Buffett to encourage the wealthiest individuals in the world to commit to donate most of their wealth to charitable causes.[28]

Shaun J. McLaughlin, author of The Patriot War Along the New York-Canada Border Raiders and Rebels, will speak to the Jefferson County Genealogical Society on May 13.
The meeting is at 6 p.m. at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on Ives Street Road.
Mr. Mclaughlin, a resident of Mississippi Mills, Ontario, maintains a blog on the Patriot War and also has self-published a Patriot War-based novel, Counter Currents. Information on both can be found at www.raidersandrebelspress.com/.
The Patriot War, fought mainly in 1837 and 1838, occurred when hundreds of men on both sides of the U.S.-Canada border took up arms to free Canada from supposed British tyranny. They were up against British regulars and militia.
The war divided itself into two distinct parts, the movement in Lower Canada, mainly modern-day Quebec, and that of Upper Canada, mainly present-day southern Ontario.
This is as much an American story as it is a Canadian story, Mr. McLaughlin said last year in an interview with the Times.
Mr. McLaughlin plans to talk about famous American participants in the Patriot War, such as Daniel Heustis of Watertown and pirate Bill Johnston.
The talk is free and open to the public.

Looking for something healthier than what's in the snack machine? Call The FruitGuys. Chris Mittelstaedt's San Francisco-based business provides more than 1,000 clients with fresh fruit as an alternative to the usual break-room fare. With revenue of $7.7 million, the 12-year-old company claimed position 2,001 on the 2009 Inc. 5000.
I had lots of friends who were working long hours at dot-coms and surviving on chocolate-covered espresso beans and Jolt Cola. I thought it would be a good idea to sell them fresh fruit. My goal was simply to get people to put down the doughnut and pick up a peach instead.
The dot-com crash was a turning point. I was $100,000 in debt and was forced to reset my expectations and do everything I could to save the business, including laying many people off. I was sick to my stomach for weeks.
We want the company to grow and make profits, but we also consider ourselves social entrepreneurs. We're big advocates for farmers and local agriculture. We have buyers knocking on doors off country roads looking for new and unique fruits and vegetables.
I am an omnivore, but I haven't had fast food or soda in 12 years. I am definitely trying to live the goals and values I have for the business.

Separation in the preparation (continued ...)
Both quarterbacks also are natural leaders. Manning comes from a family of football players and knows how to own the room. Heck, he essentially is Denver's offensive coordinator, calling audibles at the line of scrimmage and changing schemes to better attack an opposing defense. Wilson, meanwhile, has such a charisma that he became a team captain at Wisconsin after just arriving for his senior year. And in very much the same fashion, he quickly became a leader in a Seahawks locker room that is full of personalities.
