Memoria of the Bexar Seven

Although the Bexar Ayuntamiento expressed disapproval of the Consultations of 1832 and subsequently 1833 and the citizens of Bexar did not actively participate, on 6 Dec 1832 the Bexar ayuntamiento appointed a committee to draw up a document outlining the colonists complaints. On 19 Dec at a meeting of 49 Bexarenos, a petition was endorsed and signed by the seven Bexar residents above which was circulated to the Texas ayuntamientos and in all or part eventually addressed to the legislature of the State of Coahuila and Texas. The petition was called the Representacion dirijida por el ilustre ayuntamiento e la Cuidad de Bexar and was more widely endorsed in Nacogdoches on 26 Jan 1834.
The content of the memoria was summarized as follows by author John Henry Brown in History of Texas:
Historic governmental neglect. The town of Bexar (San Antonio) had been established a hundred and forty years, or in the year 1693; La Bahia del Espiritu Santo (Goliad) and Nacogdoches, a hundred and sixteen years or since 1717; and during, all this long interval the presidios of San Saba, Juan, San Marcos, Trinidad, and other military settlements on the rivers Brazos, Colorado and Guadalupe had been formed, and had again entirely disappeared, and in some of them every soul had perished in consequence of the utter neglect of the government, after inducing the people to settle there. The memorialists gave a mournful account of the privations and sufferings of Bexar, Goliad and Nacogdoches, owing to that neglect. During a period of more than a century since they had been founded for the purpose of extending Christianity and civilization through the vast wilderness, many of the first settlers had been sacrificed in defense of their homes by the barbarous Indians, while many more had perished by famine. Since 1821 ninety-seven of the citizens had been murdered by savages in the municipalities of Bexar and La Bahia (Goliad) and the then new town of Gonzales, exclusive of the military, had fallen in expeditions against the Indians. Farther to the west the settlements had suffered still more, and at that time they were all threatened, by the powerful tribe of Comanches, with total extermination. This tribe had taken advantage of the civil strife going on between Bustamente and Santa Anna, in which all the national troops were engaged. Even the few scattered troops then in Texas had not received the twentieth part of their pay, and nearly all had to be disbanded to seek subsistence as well as they could. Only seventy men were at that time retained under arms in all Texas, and these were supported by the voluntary contributions of the poor citizens of San Antonio, to give them some defense against the Indians.
Impact of inhibition of colonization. The memorialists complain that the first State law of colonization had retarded the progress of improvements in Texas. They complain of the twenty-sixth article of that law, allowing six years in which to settle the land granted; and of the twenty-seventh article, requiring, the land to be cultivated in totality before it could be sold. They complain of the exorbitant prices fixed for government lands, namely, from $100.00 to $300.00 per league of 4,428 acres, while elsewhere the price was only $15.00 to $20.00 per league. They also complain of the law prohibiting the immigration of North Americans to Texas. This absurd law could not be enforced for want of troops, and its only effect had been to prevent the immigration of the wealthier and better classes of Americans, while those who had nothing to lose were not deterred by it from coming.
Value of North American settlers. The great value to the State of North American settlers is enlarged upon, and the repeal of the prohibitory law is urged. The settlers would give protection against the Indians, and would add greatly to the wealth and revenues of the State.
Distance from Saltillo and lack of local judiciary. These ruinous defects in the laws would be corrected at once were Texas permitted to have a State government of her own, where the wants of the people could be fully known to those who make the laws. The distance to the then seat of government (Saltillo) was 350 leagues from Nacogdoches, or near 1,000 miles, and 200 leagues from San Antonio. The assessor or judicial councilor of the State, a most important officer, could only be consulted by going that hazardous and laborious journey; and yet most of the people often had occasion to consult that officer.
Lack of representation and military rule. The tyrannical proceedings of Col. Juan Davis Bradburn at Anahuac are complained of, and also the outrage upon the people of Texas by the expulsion of their deputies from the legislature, in 1830, under the fourth article of the plan of Jalapa, and that too without giving them any trial. The want of a law for establishing primary schools is considered a serious grievance. There was then but one school in Bexar, the teacher of which received $25.00 per month and was paid by the pupils. They complain of the law prohibiting all who were not born on Mexican territory from retailing merchandise of any kind of foreign production. The memorialists say that Texas was allowed but two delegates to the legislature, while she was entitled to four, in consequence of increase of population since the last apportionment. The Ayuntamiento of Austin's colony complain that Col. Juan Davis Bradburn, commandant at Anahuac, had arrested and imprisoned Don Jose Francisco Modero and Jose M. Carbajal, the former the commissioner appointed to survey the concessions of land granted to the colonists in the district of Nacogdoches and put them in possession and the latter his surveyor. This was done by order of Gen. Teran, January 2, 1831. Another military order is complained of, issued by the commandant general, by which the Ayuntamiento of Liberty was annulled December 10, 1831, both orders being in direct. It is also stated that the same commandant general had taken possession of private lands and appropriated them, in disregard of the laws of the State and the rights of property. It is further alleged that when the Alcalde of Liberty Hugh B. Johnson, in obedience to the laws of the State ordered an election for members of a new ayuntamiento (the old members having been deprived by Teran of authority to act), Col. Bradburn threatened Johnson with military force if he proceeded with the election, and thus the people were subjected to military rule.
Arbitrary arrests and reason for Anahuac. Another charge made against Bradburn is that he had, at various times, arrested peaceable citizens, for no other cause than the expression of their opinions against his violent and arbitrary acts. In May, 1832, he imprisoned seven respectable citizens, namely, Patrick C. Jack, William B. Travis, Monroe Edwards and others, and attempted to arrest George M. Patrick, first regidor. The State government was powerless to afford any remedy against these acts of tyranny. After exhausting every means to procure relief peaceably, the people finally took up arms and marched to Anahuac to release the prisoners illegally confined by Bradburn, and to re-establish the Ayuntamiento at Liberty. This was accordingly done. The citizens thus assembled encamped at Turtle Bayou, and formally pronounced in favor of the plan of Vera Cruz, in behalf of the constitution of 1824, and against the usurpation of Bustamente. This was done June the 13th, 1832. The same course was pursued by the citizens of the municipality of Brazoria and the precinct of Victoria, and, indeed, by the people generally; but as Col. Ugartechea, who commanded Fort Velasco, refused to support the plan of Vera Cruz, and continued to adhere to Bustamente, the people had no other recourse than to consider him an enemy, and they accordingly collected together under command of Capt. John Austin, and attacked and captured the fort, the whole garrison capitulating, not, say the memorialists, to rebels, but the national forces of Santa Anna.
Adherance to principles of the Constitution of 1824. The memorialists then proceeded to lay down the principles by which the people of Texas are governed, and which, they think, justify the course they had pursued, and they conclude with solemn pledges to each other and to the people that they will continue to maintain their rights under the constitution of 1824.
Ayuntamiento of Nacogdoches. The declaration sets out by saying that they "had been overawed by the military commander, Col. Jose do las Piedras, until longer forbearance would have become a crime, by exposing to his unconstitutional wishes the lives, interests and peace of our fellow citizens." He had demanded that the militia should be placed under his command. He had called in and employed Indians in his meditated warfare upon their rights. He had insulted them (the Ayuntamiento) by saying he held Americans and Indians in the same estimation, and as standing on the same footing as colonists. The declaration concludes with an appeal to the people to rally in defense of their rights, and pledges the Ayuntamiento to stand by them.
Declaration of the Ayuntamiento of Liberty. The Liberty ayuntamiento justified their resistance to the tyranny of Bradburn on the following grounds: 1st. His stationing among the people numerous garrisons composed of the vilest military convicts, who were guilty of habitual Pilfering, robberies and depredations. 2nd. His arrest of Madero, the legally constituted commissioner, to put the Colonists into possession of their lands. 3rd. His wanton seizure and appropriation to his own use of the private property of the citizens. 4th. The arrest and imprisonment by trial, and solely for the gratification of his animosities. The abrogation of the town of Liberty, and the dissolution of the Ayuntamiento by military edict, and the establishment of the town of Anahuac, subject to his own control. 6th. The verbal condemnation, by the same commandant, of the citizens to labor at the public works, and the infliction of this infamous sentence in divers instances. 7th. the incarceration of citizens merely for words spoken, said to have been disrespectful to himself. 8th. His interference in the civil government, forbidding the holding of legal elections under pains and penalties, and ordering elections on his own authority.
Austin Letter concerning the Bexar Remonstrance. The following letter contains Stephen F. Austin's remarks on the development of the Bexar Remonstrance, which he may have had a large hand in composing, and its importance to the unity of Texas in 1832:
Summary of the Bexar Remonstrance from Memoirs for the History of the Wars in Texas by General Vicente Filisola (Second in Command to Santa Anna). Summary of Circular Letter from the Council of Bexar to the city councils of the Department, Bexar, December 21, 1832, pp. 261-281:
A commission of two members from the group and four from outside has drawn up a petition to the state legislature. This had been approved by the council and citizens' meeting, and copies are to be circulated to all the city councils of the Department so that if they approve they may so advise the legislature. Petition sent to the city council of Austin, December 21, 1832: Since Bexar five other towns have been founded plus three additional military establishments in over a century. Only three remain, and this is because of savages, hunger and pestilence. Neglect by those who govern are in large part responsible. Since 1821, ninety seven men have been killed by Indians in addition to those killed in campaign. Other places have suffered even more. With civil war there has been little help, and in Texas there are only seventy men under arms, and they must support themselves. There is much evidence to support these statements, and there are several other annoyances since Texas has been a part of the State of Coahuila and Texas. Settlers have six years to cultivate and occupy allotted lands, but cannot dispose of them until they are in total cultivation. If they were granted in any other legal manner, they could sell or transfer by other means. There is no single inducement to provide settlement of Mexicans. A parcel of land is set at 300 pesos in Texas and 15 in Coahuila; because of resistance to emigration to Texas from fear of living there with limited capital there would be few who could pay. Also one fourth of the amount is demanded immediately. The law prohibits the immigration of North Americans, but there are no troops to watch over it. Honorable men with capital and industry are stopped because of the law, but adventurers and felons have come in any way. Likewise, many Indians expelled from the U.S. have crossed the Sabine with no one to stop them. It is difficult to dislodge them or to bring them under our laws. Those who came before this law have within seven or eight years been provided with a comfortable living. We regret to say that blankets, hats and even shoes have been begged from the interior, but with the North American colonists these resources have been provided. Also they furnish the best means of controlling the Indians. This can only be accomplished by bringing in enthusiastic men who are skilled in dealing with Indians. These advantages are not possessed by any other of the European nations who wish to colonize. The opening of direct roads from Texas ports to New Mexico and even Chihuahua would bring enormous benefit. It would give direct communication from all northern Mexico to the state of Missouri in the U.S. They could also easily achieve a prosperous good fortune with the fertile lands, pleasant climate, abundant game and beautiful pelts and fishing. There is no question but that the lack of a concerned government with the necessary measures has been and will continue to be the source of our sufferings. During two legislatures in four years nothing has been done to give Texas some separate government. It must be noted that this lack of action is due to sectionalism in the capital against all the towns they characterize as "frontier." This municipality speaks for a free people that resents the endless vexations. It asks for a part in reworking the laws since the most informed persons cannot have more knowledge than the people of Texas because of their topographical knowledge and eight years or more of practice. The complete implementation should be delayed for from four to six months for the careful examination by the city councils. The pact between Coahuila and Texas should never have been made. There is not, nor has there ever been, a government in Texas. Educated men of the frontier lack even books for study. Nacogdoches is 350 leagues from the capital, and the nearest adviser is 200 leagues distant. There are often involuntary delays. The tasks of the alcalde are very onerous, and those who can, refuse them. Those selected are of mediocre quality. There should be judges of record and public notaries and also interpreters for Spanish, and English criminal trials and civil ones where possible should be decided by juries. The commanding general of these States stopped the functioning of the commission given to Francisco Madero by the supreme government in order to gain control of the people between the San Jacinto and the Trinity Rivers. He even passed sentence on Madero in Anahuac. The Anahuac commander Colonel Davis Bradburn had caused the formation of another council in Anahuac itself. After an exchange of communications with the minister of relations the Texas representatives were expelled from the assembly without cause against the will of all the towns of the Department and almost all the others of the State. The constitution was violated, and the towns of Texas were insulted. The failure to appoint an inspector for the civilian militia of the State is impossible to assess. Whenever these men leave their homes they should receive a decent wage, but this has not been so. The State has provided no funds for school construction but has only passed laws. The councils are expected to pay out of the school allowance. The people of B6xar have had to provide the miserly sum of twenty-five pesos for a primary teacher. This is what is supposed to provide a foundation for the best civil and moral virtues. The prohibition of retail trade to non-native Mexicans was not made for Coahuila-Texans by adoption. According to the latest statistics on population Texas should have four representatives. These towns have never been able to achieve anything with only two deputies.
Texas was granted the right to divide itself into two districts, but
the legislature near its close has not deigned to resolve this matter. Also Texas was
given seven years of exemption from duties, but with all the delays only a few months
remained for those to be in force. Foreign merchants and some Mexicans have discontinued
trade to Texas, and this has meant a loss in population and resources. The new settlements
of Anihuac and others have been lost to the federation; not one Mexican has remained.
Delays granted to Powers and Hewitson have not been able to bring in a single family. The
legislature alone is responsible for this delay, and this should be remedied. This
petition deserves attention and foresight. The following articles sum up this point of
General Vicente Filisola's Comments on the Bexar Remonstrance and State of Texas in 1832 (Memoirs for the History of the Wars in Texas by General Vicente Filisola (Second in Command to Santa Anna). The foregoing events have indeed proven, and in a very bitter manner, how ill thought out and absurd were the reasons that were alleged in the above petition by the Bexar council, how unfounded and tactless were the provisions that were requested, and how malicious and evil were the objectives that they disguised. An attempt was also made to lead the congress in this direction because of a fatal error into which the councilmen had been led by cunning men who had treacherously taken advantage of their good faith and lack of experience.
They had no other purpose than to implicate them in their cause through the infamous trick of finding themselves delinquent, or at least suspicious in the eyes of the higher authorities of the State and even of the nation, and dragging the others down through the same necessity of escaping punishment. This leads them later little by little into the pain of rebellion as happened afterwards, with the notable circumstances that they were some of the first victims, as must generally happen, and the lesson of which should never be forgotten in similar cases. But since those of Texas had never had occasion to learn it, and day by day the maneuvers of the plotters were more calculated and more venturesome, opinion generalized in their favor among many of the natives of the country and among the honorable and industrious colonies that were among the rest, and particularly in the districts of Nacogdoches, Liberty, Gonzalez, Goliad and Bexar. If indeed they did desire that the territory be organized as an independent State, they wished to bring it about by the rules laid down by the Constitution, and in no way by means of a revolution, just as there did not enter into their innocent aspirations that of separating from the nation, whose protection and support they wanted because it was beneficial, more advantageous and absolutely necessary. his same declaration, or another in its place, was also sent to the general congress, asking that the territory of Texas be organized into a State in the federation since it had the eighty thousand inhabitants required by the constitution, since its interests were in absolute opposition to those of the State of Coahuila, and were ill provided for because of the large number of Coahuilans of which it was made up; because Texas itself needed to provide for its necessary and urgent defense against the savages who were constantly attacking them, and they demanded for their better well being to have their own energetic government. But the general congress, seeing through the true aims of this petition, and finding it devoid of foundation and false in the data that were cited in it, disallowed it to the despair of their authors and of Don Stephen Austin, who for the purpose of supporting it had been back in the capital from the end of 1832 to the beginning of 1833.
Thus it was that from that time on those settlements remained in a state of absolute independence, although those in charge pretended a respect and loyalty that they never felt toward the central government. This ridiculous fiction must have been all the more insulting and criminal in that they did not again permit the stationing there, much less the existence, of any public office. Rather they destroyed and burned those that there were and the forts and quarters, stealing at the same time all the materials that belonged to the nation and to its troops. They carried their insolent boldness to such an extent that they beat and tarred and feathered officers of the army, treasury employees, and some private citizens, as well as any Mexicans that had the misfortune to remain among them, either because of their interests, illness or other similar reasons. In addition to harming them in every way possible, they treated them with grossly insulting scorn as if they were dealing with their slaves. They did not govern themselves otherwise than by the laws of the United States of North America or those of their own fancy. To perpetuate these and to exercise them to the fullest, they tried to attract there all the adventurers that came their way and to provide themselves with arms and ammunition in order to be prepared to commit all kinds of aggression against the country and to continue their smuggling in the most open and insolent manner. With their own people they infiltrated all the departments of the frontier and of the interior of the Republic, even to the extreme of the barbarians' taking part in the traffic of Negro slaves, in spite of the fact that this was prohibited by the general congress and disapproved of by the generous and compassionate nature of the whole Mexican nation. Such for the Texans was the period that came to an end with year 1832.

Dortmund's Woerns banned for four matches
FRANKFURT, May 4 (Reuters) - Borussia Dortmund defender Christian Woerns has been banned for four matches for elbowing Nuremberg striker Stefan Kiessling in the face last month.
Woerns knocked Kiessling flat with an elbow that blindsided the Nuremberg striker as he was looking across the pitch for a pass in a match on April 22.
The German Football Association (DFB) suspension means the Dortmund captain will miss the final two matches this season, against Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday and at Bayern Munich on May 13, as well as the first two matches of next season.
Woerns was dropped by Germany coach Juergen Klinsmann earlier this year after he criticised some of the Germany coach's decisions. Woerns has since become one of Klinsmann's harshest critics.
The DFB also upheld a three-match ban on Werder Bremen's French midfielder Johan Micoud for grabbing Schalke 04 defender Christian Poulsen in the groin in a match last month.

Chuck Turner has repeatedly asserted his innocence and said yesterday following the hearing that he has nothing to hide.
Turner defense raises race question
Says councilor being selectively prosecuted
The lawyer representing Chuck Turner, the embattled Boston city councilor, in his federal corruption trial raised questions about race yesterday during his client's pretrial hearing, saying that Turner, who is black, is being "selectively prosecuted.''
Barry P. Wilson, Turner's lawyer, told US District Court Judge Douglas P. Woodlock, "I wish to show that this investigation as it pertains to Mr. Turner had to do with political overtones and racism.''
Later, he said, "I'm attempting to show there was a singling out of Mr. Turner because he's an outspoken advocate of his people.''
In response to Wilson yesterday, Woodlock said he was "not sure how race gets in this case as the cause of choice for this defendant.''
He added, "There isn't any evidence that touches on selective prosecution.''
Assistant US Attorney John McNeil, lead prosecutor in the trial, said of Wilson's allegations, "This is a back-door way of asserting an entrapment-type defense.''
Woodlock also said that if he had reason to believe prejudice was an issue with potential jurors during the selection process, he would call for a sidebar to discuss the matter with the potential juror and the lawyers.
Woodlock said the trial should start by Thursday after two days of jury selection. An aide said that Wilson plans to submit a witness list of about 60 names and that the prosecution's list, of which they have a copy, contains about 28 names.
The name of former state senator Dianne Wilkerson, who pleaded guilty to related charges, is not among them.
Turner has said he plans to testify in his own defense, even though Wilson has cautioned him not to do so. Turner, 70, has repeatedly asserted his innocence and said yesterday following the hearing that he has nothing to hide.
Authorities began investigating Turner after a cooperating witness who had made cash payments to Wilkerson in exchange for help in obtaining a liquor license told federal agents he had heard that Turner also took cash payments in connection with his official position.
On Aug. 3, 2007, Turner and the witness met at Turner's office in Roxbury, and Turner allegedly accepted $1,000 in cash from the witness, who secretly videotaped the meeting for the FBI.
Turner was arrested on Nov. 21, 2008, and charged with extortion, making false statements and conspiracy.
In Feb. 2009, the witness, businessman Ronald Wilburn, said he felt he had been used by the FBI to topple Turner and Wilkerson, while no white politicians were charged in what he characterized as broader government corruption.
Wilkerson, who resigned her Senate seat shortly after she was charged, admitted in June to taking $23,500 in bribes. She is awaiting sentencing.
Also yesterday, as expected, prosecutors dropped a conspiracy charge against Turner, but he still faces up to 20 years in prison on the extortion charge and five years for each conviction of making three false statements.
A Cincinnati native, Turner was first elected to the City Council in 1999. He has been arrested numerous times since graduating from Harvard in 1963 during protests seeking jobs for minorities, denouncing discriminatory banking practices, and other causes.
But he said his arrest at City Hall in November 2008 was the first time he had been involuntarily incarcerated.
Yesterday, moments after the hearing, he stood in a hallway outside the courtroom and said he still cannot recall meeting with Wilburn.
"I can't wait until the trial,'' he said. "I can't believe they're going forward with this. Hundreds of thousands of dollars are being spent to try to take down an elected official who has done nothing but serve the people of Boston. They're going to be totally embarrassed by going after me.''

JERRABOMBERRA sisters, Mary-Rose and Liz Mulvaney, said they'll be participating in the Relay for Life until their "dead and buried in the ground".
"I've just had a really bad thought," younger sister Liz said. "I had a vision of Mary-Rose in a wheelchair and me wheeling her around the track!"
As much as the Mulvaney sisters love to joke, there is a very serious reason why they choose to do the Relay for Life - both their parents George and Rose were affected by cancer.
On Saturday, Rose, 84, a survivor of ovarian cancer will join her daughters and grandson David, 16 as members of the Chobsette's Chums.
It has been six years since Rose was diagnosed with cancer. Doctors discovered the cancer during a scan for gall stones, at one point they thought Rose might have irritable bowel syndrome but it turned out to be something much more sinister.
"I was lucky they diagnosed it when they did," Rose said. "I was very, very lucky as there aren't a lot of symptoms for ovarian cancer."
It was a difficult time for the family Mary-Rose recalled.
"When mum was told about her cancer, the doctor told her to go home and write her will and gave her all these palliative care pamphlets," she said. "The oncologist said there was a greater than 80 per cent chance the cancer would come back in two years but she's proven them all wrong. On you Rosie!"
It's clear Rose is a bit of a fighter as she proudly announced she successfully completed five laps over two days at the 2012 Relay for Life.
She joined the Survivors' Walk, Candlelight Ceremony of Hope and Closing Ceremony and snuck a few laps around the oval in between.
"It's quite long [walking] the whole oval," Rose said.
"I was delighted to walk ... there's people on the sideline waving to you and the atmosphere is lovely, it's very family orientated."
The Candlelight Ceremony of Hope is held in the evening and is a time to remember those who have passed away from cancer.
The Mulvaneys will be remembering husband, father and grandfather George who died in 2009 from a brain tumour and previously battled lung and prostate cancer. He was 80-years-old.
"Towards the end it was very tough. He tried to talk to us but it just came out as jibber," Mary-Rose explained. "He wasn't allowed solids, just pureed food that was like the consistency of honey.
"His organs got tired and the way he passed away was very peaceful. He had a big personality, all the nurses loved him."
George's photo will be one of many to appear in a slide show featuring community members who have lost their battle with cancer.
Relay for Life participants are asked to write a message to their loved one on a white paper bag and place a candle inside of it. A sea of these lit up bags are dotted around the field during the ceremony.
"[Relay for Life] it's great, it's such an uplifting experience and we're all there for the same reason ," Mary-Rose said. "It's a great experience, knowing what you're doing is raising money that is going towards research in the hope of finding a cure for cancer."

China bank lending tumbles September after gov't boost
AFP Saturday, October 13, 2012, 12:06 am TWN
BEIJING -- Chinese bank lending tumbled in September, official figures showed Friday, following a surge in the previous month on government efforts to bolster the slumping economy.
Chinese banks granted 623.2 billion yuan (US$99.5 billion) in new loans in September, down from 703.9 billion yuan in August, the People's Bank of China said.
The September figure came in lower than market expectations of 665 billion yuan, according to a median forecast of 15 economists surveyed by Dow Jones Newswires.
However, September's number is still much higher than the 540.1 billion yuan lent out in July.

Tish Tash Tosh is probably most well known to ABC Open audiences for the beautiful stories she's written for 500 Words. She's also a visual artist, and recently held her first solo art exhibition, Emerge.
As well as the paintings that she hung on the walls of the exhibition space, Tish Tash Tosh provided folders of her stories and blog posts for people to explore, and allowed them to look through her art journal in which she began painting four years ago.
I sat down for a chat with Tash about how writing and painting are interwoven and complementary parts of her creative process.
"The amount of creativity I allow myself, is inextricably linked to how fulfilling I find life," she says. "And I don't think I'm the only person built that way. Making time is a discipline in itself."
"I wonder how many people would be happier if they allowed themselves these same freedoms."
Tash says a lot of her paintings have stories, and a lot of her 500 Words stories or blog posts come from the same place.
Some of this writing directly feeds her paintings as the words help the symbolic meaning of what she's trying to depict visually emerge.
"I write a lot even when I'm preparing a painting," she says. "Not necessarily every day but definitely every week."
First she might do rough sketches of what she wants to paint, which is more of a problem-solving activity to decide composition.
Then she might write out her emotional response to the subject, which helps inform the colour choices and the sense of movement in the work.
After abandoning an artwork, finally declared finished, Tash often produces a interpretive piece of writing about what the piece means to her. This comes out as a post for her blog.
Tash says it's both rewarding for her and the viewer when they can empathise with the sentiments she's expressed in her writing about a particular painting.
"It's validating for me that 'they got it' but it's also affirming for them that they have understood and connected with what they have seen," she says. "But I also find it really refreshing when people bring something else to the work, their own interpretation."
She choose to also have her art journal on display at the exhibition so that people could see the long journey she's gone on to produce these works.
"I hear so many people say that they don't have a creative bone in their body. But in truth I think if we all allowed ourselves more time for grown-up play, opportunities to create and reconnect with the stuff we loved as children, we would all be a whole lot happier."
"One of the things I wanted this exhibition to be was really honest and based on real experience. So I've chosen to share my early fumblings with paint. I didn't want people to think I'd started by being able to paint some of my later works."

Forward-thinking local governments are increasingly looking to new urbanism and smart growth development strategies to accommodate future growth. Peter Katz, Professor in Practice in Virginia Tech's School of Public and International Affairs in the College of Architecture and Urban Studies, will speak at 4 p.m. Monday, April 19, in Hancock Hall Auditorium about issues facing communities that are trying to accommodate future growth with new development strategies.
His talk, "Beyond Zoning: New Approaches to Development Regulation" will address how new urban codes affect housing affordability, automobile dependence, property rights, and why architectural style is at times the least important element in these new codes. Katz says existing zoning ordinances often work against the implementation of urbanism and smart growth strategies, and that zoning is beginning to be seen as an impediment to mixed-use development.
Katz is a professor-in-practice at Virginia Tech's Northern Virginia Center, in Alexandria. He provides consulting services in the areas of real-estate marketing and community development. Katz works nationally and internationally with government agencies, real-estate developers, non-profit organizations, charitable foundations and civic associations. For several years, Katz has been a survey participant in Emerging Trends in Real Estate, an industry forecast co-produced by Price Waterhouse Coopers and Lend Lease Real Estate Investments.
The College of Architecture and Urban Studies at Virginia Tech is comprised of two schools, the School of Architecture + Design and the School of Public and International Affairs, and includes programs in architecture, art and art history, building construction, public administration and policy, interior design, industrial design, landscape architecture, government and international affairs, and urban affairs and planning. All programs strive to promote an understanding of the complexity of our environment and ways to improve that environment through thoughtful teaching and research in the design, planning, and construction fields. The college enrolls more than 2,200 students, offering 22 degrees programs taught by 130 faculty members.

Asbury v. Brougham
United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit
866 F.2d 1276 (10th Cir. 1989)
Asbury (plaintiff), a black woman, went to Brougham Estates (Brougham) (defendant) with her daughter seeking to rent housing. There were already a number of minority residents at Brougham Estates. Based on her salary, Asbury was qualified to rent from Brougham Estates. The manager on duty told Asbury that there were no vacancies and that she should try to rent from a different complex. However, substantial evidence showed that there were in fact units available for rent at the time. Asbury brought suit under 42 U.S.C. § 1982 and the Fair Housing Act, claiming discrimination. Brougham claimed that there were Brougham Estates policies that precluded them from renting apartments to families with a child. The trial court awarded Asbury compensatory and punitive damages. Brougham moved for a new trial.

Doctor Told Me to Push Into My Eyes to Relieve Post-op Bleph Swelling - Why?
Doctor Answers 2
Management of swelling after blepharoplasty
Surgeons have different protocols for their post operative care, and you should discuss any questions you may have about the regimen your were advised to follow with your surgeon.
Massage helpful for surgical swelling
Dear Donna, I do find massage to be helpful for swelling after surgery. I usually advise my patients to massage the tissues over the facial bones gently with two fingers working in a circular motion lifting the tissue upward. If you've had fat repositioning or fat transfer your surgeon might be uneasy with massage rearranging the mobilized tissue.

The Estimation of Labor Supply Over Kinked Budget Constraints: Some New Econometric Methodology
Most programs of taxation and income maintenance imply that the tax rate faced by an individual changes at different levels of labor supply. As a result, the individual's budget constraint is kinked which presents problems for the empirical study of labor supply. This paper develops econometric methodology for estimating labor supply in the presence of taxes. Equations for market wage and shadow price are used to describe labor supply choices over a kinked budget constraint This approach makes a distinction between the discrete choice of which segment or corner of the kinked constraint to work on and the selection of the actual number of hours of work along linear segments. A consistent procedure is derived that uses all the tax rates faced by the individual and relies on no more structure than has been used in the previous literature on labor force participation. This procedure summarizes the individual's kinked budget constraint by calculating the expected value of variables that assume different values on the sections of the constraint. Techniques for estimating the model based on a probit analysis of the decision to work above or below certain corners of the budget constraint are presented. Maximum likelihood estimation is also discussed.

Dental Care Tips For Healthier Smiles
Brush Better: Tips For Better Dental Care
Brush, swish, spit. If that's your dental routine, you may want to revise it. While a little brush is better than no brush at all, there are a few simple tactics that one can employ for a whiter and brighter smile. Do your pearly whites a favor and heed some of this advice from Dr. Jonathan Levine. Your smile will thank you.
- Brush your teeth right when you wake up. Plaque and bacteria accumulate overnight, which is why it's important to floss and brush right away.
- Avoid brushing your teeth for at least 30 minutes after eating or drinking acidic foods and beverages. If you brush too soon after consuming acidic foods or drinks, you can harm the tooth enamel.
- Brush at least twice a day, if not more.
- If you only have time to floss or use mouthwash, choose flossing.
- Only use a pea-sized amount of toothpaste.
- Change your toothbrush every three months.
- Use a mouthwash to reduce plaque buildup.
- If you have the funds to purchase one, buy an ultrasonic toothbrush.
Do you have any tips to share on dental care?

Chicago forward Jabari Parker is considered one of the top two prospects in the Class of 2013.
He is 6-8 and 220 pounds. He can play inside and out. He is explosive going to the rim and strong enough to bang down low. He has a good mid-range game and can knock down 3-pointers. He's also level-headed and a smart kid. No wonder every major college coach is lining up at his door.
Case in point: There were 40 college head coaches were on hand for his high school team's practice Tuesday. Yes, 40. And not just any coaches: Duke's Mike Krzyzewski, North Carolina's Roy Williams, Kansas' Bill Self, Ohio State's Thad Matta, Illinois' Bruce Weber and Michigan State's Tom Izzo were all in the bleachers watching Parker.
"It was crazy," Simeon High coach Rob Smith told ESPN. "It's something I've never been around in my years of coaching."

Lindemann to discuss the memorial to Schoharie men who died in the Civil War
Corporal James Tanner (1844-1927) described the July 4, 1868 dedication of the Civil War memorial in Jefferson. He was a Richmondville native who lost both legs at Second Bull Run, was present at Lincoln's deathbed, served as United States Commissioner of Pensions, and Commander-in-Chief of the Grand Army of the Republic.
Sgt. Howard O. Gregory (1840-1864) of Jefferson is one of the 28 soldiers listed on the monument. He enlisted on Aug. 19, 1861 in Company E, Third New York Cavalry. He was taken prisoner at Ream's Station, Va. on June 29, 1864 and later died in Andersonville Prison, one of the "prison pens of the South."
"The Civil War Dead of Schoharie County" will be the topic at the next meeting of the Jefferson Historical Society, with local historian Peter Lindemann discussing his upcoming book A Crooked Gun.
The presentation will take place on Wednesday, Oct. 2, at 7:15 p.m. at the Jefferson Historical Society, Jefferson Town Hall, 677 North Harpersfield Road, Jefferson.
"Jefferson is unique in Schoharie County, in that it has a Civil War memorial listing the local men who died in service," said Lindemann of the monument in the Evergreen Cemetery. "You may miss it, thinking it is just another grave marker, but then you notice the 28 names on it."
The memorial was dedicated by the citizens of Jefferson on July 4, 1868.
There that day was Corporal James Tanner of Richmondville, present at Lincoln's deathbed three years earlier, who described the dedication in the July 9, 1868 issue of the Schoharie Union. He called the marker "a most beautiful monument," dedicated to the memory of those who died "either by the bullets of the enemy, by disease, or in the prison pens of the South."
On July 4, 1868, at 11 a.m., reported Tanner, the procession formed, and then marched to the cemetery escorted by the Schoharie Cornet Band. At the cemetery, Rev. Leonard S. Richards of Stamford delivered an address and prayer, and formally dedicated the monument "to the memory of the fallen heroes, and to the perpetuation of those principles of Liberty for which they so nobly offered up their lives."
The monument, displaying the names of the 28 "soldiers who formerly resided in Jefferson, and who fell in the late war of the Rebellion" had been funded by the people of Jefferson and vicinity, at a cost of $600.
"I understand that the citizens of Jefferson have generally done nobly," reported Tanner, "but none more so than that esteemed citizen Reuben Shelmandine, Esq., who has been active in season and out of season, and to whom much credit is due for the accomplishment of that commendable purpose."
Following the dedication in the cemetery, the procession re-formed and marched to the grove.
"The statement was made to the audience that there was yet to be raised of the monument fund the sum of $50," said Tanner, "and those who felt so disposed was invited to step forward and contribute. In a few moments it was announced that the required amount was proffered which furnished another pleasing feature of the day."
Following prayer, the Honorable Stephen L. Mayham delivered an "elaborate and highly eloquent oration." Mayham, a native of Blenheim, had served as district attorney and then state assemblyman. He would go on to become a United States Congressman, first president of the Schoharie Valley Railroad Company, and Presiding Justice of the New York State Supreme Court.
Mayham's oration was followed by music from the Jefferson Glee Club, which was in turn followed by an address from Rev. Richards, which Tanner termed "able and exhaustive." Finally, the procession re-formed and marched to the village where "mine host Curtis" of the Jefferson House "allowed none to depart unsatisfied."
"The 92nd Anniversary of American Independence was most appropriately observed by the citizens of Jefferson and vicinity on the 4th inst.," concluded Corporal Tanner. "The whole occasion was without a draw back, and thus was the natal day of our country appropriately observed and the memory of our dead heroes embalmed in our hearts."

WalMart and Local Economic Development
This article reviews the literature that evaluates WalMart's impacts on local economies. The authors first describe the methods used to account for potential reverse causality of WalMart's store location decisions, and then they discuss the literature assessing the company's effect on three aspects of community life: (a) retail (and nonretail) businesses, across large- and small-sized stores and in different business environments; (b) retail workers, wages, and types of jobs; and (c) producer and consumer welfare through the company's price-decreasing effect and other potential indirect effects. Last, articles focusing on a broad spectrum of local conditions that could be affected by the company, including poverty rates, social capital, food insecurity, policy effectiveness, and obesity are reviewed. For each dimension, evidence is found of both positive and negative effects, suggesting that we are still far from truly understanding the net effect of WalMart on local economies, let alone the overall consequences in the long run.

Dayton: MNsure Off to Good Start
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) – Gov. Mark Dayton says he's pleased with the performance of Minnesota's health insurance exchange so far but that it'll be at least a year before it can be judged a success or failure.
Dayton says Tuesday it's important to distinguish between efforts in Minnesota and those at the national level. President Barack Obama said a day earlier that he's angry about technical problems plaguing healthcare.gov, the federal government's consumer portal for uninsured people and others to buy health insurance.
Dayton says the first two weeks of operations at MNsure, Minnesota's consumer portal, have not been perfect but that he thinks it's performed "phenomenally well" considering the complexity and scope of the project.
Dayton says he was told that as of Monday, more than 18,000 people have created MNsure accounts.

Yes, please do *not* create it.

While natural ventilation and negative pressure mechanical ventilation are the most widely used systems for nursery and growing calf barns, both have problems that can be minimized with supplemental positive pressure tube systems. A Dairyland Initiative workshop devoted to these systems will be presented Wednesday, Oct. 31 in DePere, Wis.
In this workshop, Dr. Ken Nordlundfrom the University of Wisconsin-Madison will present methods of designing systems to deliver appropriate volumes of fresh air to calves without creating drafts. Problems with fluttering tubes, uneven distribution of air along the tube, and failure to inflate will be reviewed, along with practical ideas for tube location and construction materials.
Participants will receive and learn to use the Dairyland Initiative's Supplemental Positive Pressure Ventilation Tube Calculatorto create specifications for example barns and troubleshoot existing systems. More information.

Now that I am in college I find it even harder to eat them because my parents do not place them in front of me every night. One of my goals for this summer is to eat healthier by eating out less, cooking my own meals and eating more vegetables. I find myself strolling down the aisles at the store looking at various vegetables and I am either overwhelmed by the choices or wonder if they are really worth it. As hard as it may be to admit, I think our parents were right.
There have been several articles published over the last few years about the benefits of consuming certain vegetables. Today I read an article featured in Outside Magazine, "Never Miss a Beet", about a study done by England's Exeter University. The study revealed that consuming beet juice allowed more oxygenated blood to reach muscles which improved performance of endurance athletes. The article highlighted a marathon runner who is favored to medal at the London Olympics and has been using beet juice in his training regiment. Again, if you are like me your fitness aspirations are not that grand but I think the facts are pretty clear that vegetables can help even the casual athlete perform better. Just a quick note, as with all things over consuming beet juice can have some negative effects which are listed in the same article. Another article in the New York Times listed beets as the number one on the list of "The 11 Best Foods You Aren't Eating". Even if beets are not your thing both articles list several other vegetables with similar benefits.
Summer is a great time to experiment with new foods and cooking different dishes. Beets, spinach, and carrots are among the vegetables listed in the articles that are also currently in season. Marie highlighted the Moscow Farmers Market which is a great place to get all the beets you could ever hope for.

Consecrated women direct and assist in many types of programs,
but our fundamental approach is consistent across the board. As
the fruit of our programs, we teach youth to have
a sense of responsibility for society and for the needs
of their local parish.
Theory alone is not enough to teach
this sense of social responsibility. Concrete experiences are an essential
part of the learning process, and that is why our
programs are designed to give young people the experience of
responding to needs with positive action. In many cases, this
is what the youth enjoy the most: the experience of
making a difference is often a reward in itself.
"I really
felt that I finally allowed Christ to work through me,
and was able to spend more time listening to the
needs of others, especially of the teenagers. I'm also glad
that I had the opportunity to meet such wonderful people
during this mission, and every time I think about this
Holy Week mission it makes my heart truly happy and
joyful!" – A young missionary.

Biographical Appendix
Hon. Peter H. Jaquith
Hon. Peter H. Jaquith, merchant and postmaster at Pilot Knob, was born in Oswego County, NY, September 24, 1830, and is the son of John W and Mary C.(Henderson) Jaquith, both natives of the State of NY. The Jaquith family is of French extraction, the great-grandfather having come from France about the time of the old Revolution, and located near Boston, Mass. The paternal grandfather was born in Vermont, and immigrated to the State of New York in 1820, where he died about 1836. John W. Jaquith, father of our subject, was a farmer by occupation and followed this the principal part of his life. He immigrated to Wisconsin in 1866, and there died in 1872. The mother died in 1877. Of the five children born to their union, four are now living: Peter H., Jennie, Alfred L., and Mary C. Peter H. was reared on a farm in Oswego County, NY and there remained until twenty one years of age. In 1852, he came west, and roamed from one place to another until 1858, when he located at Pilot Knob, and engaged in merchandising, which he has since carried on. During Price's raid he suffered great loss, being cleaned out almost entirely by the Confederate soldiers. As soon as he could, he fitted up another stock, and has since been very successful. He was married in 1853, to Miss Marie Marvin, of Oneida County, NY., who bore him two children, one of whom is now living, Mrs. Ada Countryman, of Denver, Colo. He was married the second time in 1862 to Miss Caroline Hollatz, who was of German parentage, and who bore him four children; Clara (Mrs. J. K. Pogue), Alfred Co., John and Alma. In 1860 Mr. Jaquith was elected justice of the peace, and one year later he was appointed postmaster, holding the position until 1865. In 1866 he was elected to represent the judge of the county court, but before his term was out he resigned, and in 1872 was appointed postmaster at Pilot Knob, and has held that position ever since. He has been a very prominent man in politics, and takes a deep interest in all public affairs of any importance. He owns considerable property in Pilot Knob and affiliates with the Baptist congregation.

Statement From Senator John Defrancisco on Thruway Tolls
When the Thruway Authority proposed a plan for a 45 percent toll increase on trucks and other commercial vehicles earlier this year, I immediately expressed my opinion that it was unacceptable and advocated against the increase.
I am very pleased with the decision today that this ill-conceived toll hike plan has now been reversed.
The Thruway Authority's proposed toll increase would have had a terrible impact on countless businesses across New York state, hurting job creation and adding new costs for consumers.
Throughout the past two years, Governor Cuomo and the legislators have been working hard to help move New York's economy back in the right direction. Together, we have lowered taxes on middle class families, reduced wasteful spending, and enacted a wide array of new job-creating initiatives.
This massive proposed toll hike would have undermined these efforts to grow our economy, and moved New York state in the wrong direction.
Today's news is clearly a major victory for all New Yorkers, and I commend all of our local business representatives and concerned citizens who helped to defeat this misguided toll hike.

When we speak of the Oath of the Horatii we can be referring to one of three things, all of which are driven by the ancient tale of the Horatii and Curiatii:
The tale of the Horatii and Curiatii is one of the myths which even in Roman times lay at the foundations of "Romanity", it is written by the ancient Roman writer Livy "ab urbe condita". Like other tales of its kind it was about personal sacrifice and valour which in the extreme saved the day for the future empire. It refers to a period around 650BC when Rome was ruled by its 3rd King Tullus Hostilius when it was still a budding village set on hilltops vying for local domination against the nearby city of Alba Longa.
It was agreed that the war would be settled through a fight to the death between triplet brothers from either camp - the Horatii (Romans) and Curiatii (Alba Longans). Two of the Horatii brothers died but all three of the Curiatii were wounded. The last of the Horatii had the best of the three wounded and so Rome won the day and the war. Alba Longa was subdued and destroyed, its citizens transferred to Rome.
However the event carried a twist in the tale which also tells of Law and Justice in ancient Rome: The Horatii brothers had a sister who happened to be in love with one of the Curiatii. When she learned of her lover's death she wept and was duly killed by her surviving brother for having wept the enemy. This was clearly murder and so the hero was due to be put to death had it not been for their father who appealed to the people's assembly and gained a pardon for his son in return for sacrifices to attone the misdeed. The father erected the Sororium Tigillum (a simbolic yoke) which the eldest son of the family walked under every year henceforth.

Buyers beware: record Melbourne property growth can't last, warn experts
Melbourne's property market has experienced a bumper year, but some experts warn the current growth trajectory will eventually turn.
Concerns were raised on Wednesday that a Reserve Bank decision to raise the cash rate could trigger a housing market correction.
Wakelin Property Advisory director Paul Nugent agreed that the market would not and could not continue to achieve the same amount of growth recorded in recent times. He believes the market will level out.
Mr Nugent's comments echo the sentiment of ANZ chairman David Gonski, who told the Australian British Chamber of Commerce on Wednesday that the property market would eventually experience a correction.
According to figures released by RP Data on Monday, Melbourne house prices leapt by 6.4 per cent over the three months to the end of August despite winter typically being a slower time for property.
But Domain Group data released today shows that price growth is moderating in capital city markets.
Domain Group's senior economist Andrew Wilson pointed out that Melbourne had risen 2.2 per cent over the first half this year.
The State of the Market Report for spring predicts that the median house price would lift between just 3 to 5 per cent this financial year. Melbourne buyer's agent David Morrell, of Morrell & Koren, said some segments of the market would soften first. "Clearly the outer suburbs and the apartment market will adjust a lot quicker, and lot more aggressively," he said.
While sales director Arch Staver, of Nelson Alexander, believes there could be a moderation in prices growth, he has not seen a "dramatic" correction even when there had been significant upswings in the property market over the past 12 years. "In the mortgage-belt suburbs, where employment issues may be more significant, it may have a more dramatic impact on buyers' ability to pay certain prices," he said.
Account manager Eliza Vesey, 30, and her husband Tim, like many prospective home buyers, are house hunting this spring.
They recently sold their two-bedroom apartment in Prahran and are hoping to upgrade to a house nearby to accommodate their growing family. Having already missed out at a handful of auctions, Mrs Vesey said they might have to rent in the meantime and try again next spring. "Houses are definitely going for much more than people are expecting at the moment," she said. "We've got nine [auctions] to go to over the next two weeks, and then we're renting after that."

Not since the eighties have leggings been so fashionable. Once associated with aerobics videos and Madonna's early days, leggings have now reinvented themselves to be the staple in every woman's closet. It was the style icons Kate Moss, Sienna Miller and Nicole Richie who recently made leggings so appealing; throwing them on with an oversized shirt, belt and flip flops. Leggings have lasted through every season as they are the most adaptable item of clothing there is—and comfortable too.
For warmer weather, leggings are perfect teamed with a kaftan or oversized t-shirt. Add a belt to give you shape, a pair of sandals and voila you have an up-to-the-minute outfit a la Lindsay Lohan. Leggings styled like this are great, as they cover up your legs and don't make you feel so exposed. If you opt for a black pair, these can flatter the shape of your legs. For curvier women it's best to wear a dress or top that covers your upper thigh but for women with boyish figures and slim hips, shorter t-shirts and tank tops can be worn, a thick belt worn at the hips also works well.
Black leggings can also compliment party outfits. If you are wearing a short dress and don't want to reveal too much leg, or alternatively you want to dress down a smarter piece of clothing, try on a pair of long black leggings and see the difference. For short dresses, leggings are great for completing the outfit; wear them down to the ankle and team with a pair of stiletto heels. The length is important as if too high they can make your calves look bigger than they actually are. If you have a smart dress you want to wear but don't want to look too formal, leggings are the solution. Add a pair of flat boots for an even more casual look, or stick to shoe boots for something a bit funkier.
For women after the rock chick style, look no further than leggings. Kate Moss has just been spotted wearing the latest 'wet look' leggings. These look as if you have black paint all over you legs. She is daring enough to wear these with a short top and leather jacket, but if you don't want to go that far, opt for an oversized print t-shirt or mini dress. There are also leggings in various prints now such as Aztec and animal. These can be worn to brighten up a black outfit and ensure you don't look to gothic. The idea is to wear these with a black leather jacket and biker boots or heels.

Pampers Prints Blogger Day
I have the great pleasure to be working with Pampers and recently was invited to their Cincinnati headquarters for Bloggers Day. My work with them so far has entailed supporting the new Limited Edition Prints that Pampers launched for this summer and they had invited a group of top 14 mommy (and dad) bloggers to design their own prints for diapers for me to judge and to possibly be used on diapers in the future.
Not only was this incredibly fun, as who doesn't want to design their own diaper (mine would be monogram central….I know, I know totally impractical but I'm obsessed!), but it was also an amazing experience to meet these bloggers and the design team at Pampers. I feel as parents today, we now have this amazing army, an army of bloggers online information sources that help us figure out which product is best, safest, and newest for our wee ones. An army that helps us with parenting tips and helps guide us on this often scary but amazing journey of parenthood. The internet is an amazing community and resource for parents and it was a real honor meeting some of the movers and shakers in this world. Below are a few pics I took from the day.

The United Nations (UN), previously considered a forum exclusively for sovereign governments, has changed over time in tune with various political, economic, social, and cultural phenomena. One of these is the growing presence of nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) in international agencies and activities. The 49th Annual Conference of the Department of Public Information and NGOs, held at UN headquarters on 10 September 1996, analyzed the extent to which the UN is allowing NGOs to participate in its discussions of policy, institutional reform, and field operations. The issues discussed at the Conference and the challenges that face the UN in a changing world form the subject of this report.

JERUSALEM (Aug. 21)
Construction workers excavating for a housing project in Safed recently unearthed a rare archaeological find, the Ministry of Construction and Housing reported.
The workers uncovered a mikveh (ritual bath) that served residents of the old city of Safed about 400 years ago.
They also found traces of a bakery that operated underneath the bathhouse, as well as a furnace that served both establishments.
