A Department of Public Safety Trooper was involved in a crash in Smith County Monday.
The crash happened around 12:15p.m. near the intersection of Farm-to-Market Road 2015 and Interstate 20.
According to authorities, a trooper was pursuing a motorcycle whom he had clocked traveling more than 100 miles per hour. As the trooper followed the motorcyclist northbound on FM 2015, he lost sight of him as he topped a hill.
When the trooper turned around, he hit a truck pulling a trailer. The truck had been heading northbound on FM 2015 behind him, but the trooper said he did not see the truck.
"We never found the guy that was driving the motorcycle. The pursuit was terminated when the crash happened and we never located the motorcycle driver," said Texas Highway Patrol Sgt. Thomas Bledsoe.
There were no injuries reported in the accident.

Dubois Library
Camera Comics!
Smash! Boom! Pow! Watch out! The Dubois Library recently acquired two issues of Camera Comics!
New Books in the Library
The Dubois Library has recently added these new titles to our collection:
Photography Changes Everything, by Marvin Heiferman (New York: Aperture Foundation, co-published with the Smithsonian Institution, 2012)
Preservation Week
In 2010, a number of organizations supporting libraries and archives sponsored the first Preservation Week; a week-long effort to bring attention to the many millions of cultural artifacts held in museums across the US that are in need of preservation or conservation care. This year, Preservation Week is being held April 22-28, and institutions throughout the country are highlighting their many efforts to take good care of their collections.
Dubois Library Snapshots: Souvenirs Entomologiques, by J. H. Fabre
Second in the Snapshots series presented by the Dubois Library is Souvenirs Entomolgiques, by J. H. Fabre. Known as the "father of entomology," Fabre's books make insects look beautiful (well, almost). Enjoy!
Dubois Library Snapshots: The Disciples, by James Mollison
"Snapshots" is a series of booktrailers that showcase some of the wonderful photography books housed in the Dubois Library. Here's a link to the first in the series, highlighting "The Disciples" by James Mollison. Enjoy!
New Books in the Library
The Dubois Library has recently added these new titles to our collection:
Eyewitness: Hungarian Photography in the Twentieth Century: Brassaï, Capa, Kertész, Moholy-Nagy, Munkácsi (London: Royal Academy of Arts, 2011)
Women's History Month
In honor of March being celebrated as Women's History Month, I'd like to share this wonderful article written by Mrs E. N. Lockwood for an 1873 issue of Photographic Mosaics. Photographic Mosaics was published from 1866-1901, and highlighted new innovations and events happening in the world of photography at the time. As Mrs. Lockwood's passionate entreaty reminds us, women were considerably less involved in photography than men were in the mid to late 19th century, and as Naomi Rosenblum discusses in A History of Women Photographers:
The Bread Book
Out of the 20,000 books held in the Dubois Library, there are more than a few treasures; books that illustrate and document early photographic processes and subjects, or were created by seminal photographers who have left their indelible mark on our visual history. These books are incredible to see and touch and hold. They provide true connection to a medium and a past that is quickly changing and evolving.
The Dubois Library: Books & Technology
I have vivid memories of my elementary school's card catalog, the beautifully polished wood, the shiny brass handles on the drawers, and the mass of white and yellow cards, all heavily marked with pencil and typewriter ink. It all seems so quaint and antique now, and I nostalgically remember the process of finding a library book as such a lovely ritual.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I chose to use the white background with gold and black print, and it looked great. It's not too busy, like some other invitations can be, and this is a simple way of stating a lot. I used the free (but high quality) card stock - which looked fantastic. But, I did not use the Pearl White Shimmer to get the luminescent look, though I would recommend it if you can splurge on that if you want the metallic look. (the cardstock does not give the metallic look). I love my invitations and the service on the proofs was very fast and helpful. Highly recommend!"
"We are having an October wedding in Salem, Ma. Our colors are black, gold, and ivory so we were looking for something to match of course. I wanted the main color to be black with gold writing and a lot of other sites didn't have this. The foil stamps really gave these invitations something extra which we loved. The artist was wonderful to work with, we went back and forth via email a couple times and they really make sure you get exactly what you want. I would definitely order from wedding paper divas again!"
"I am so excited to send these out to my family and friends. The perfect invitation for my special day. My husband to be loves them."
"We ordered this invitation and RSVP card in Almond with a solid almond back on the matte white stock, and could not be more pleased with the decision! The design is so lovely, just perfect for my daughter's outdoor garden-style wedding. It has just the right soft, vintage feel we were looking for. The paper quality is excellent, they look and feel great. The design review process is extremely helpful - our reviewer made a couple of changes that improved what we had submitted - and the turnaround was incredibly fast. The final product was exactly what we expected and were hoping for ... no complaints or disappointment whatsoever. We highly recommend this product!"
"Paper and print quality were perfectly acceptable, but not remarkably good. Design of course is beautiful, absolutely lovely, not to mention a multi-generational people-pleaser! My grandmother said it was the most beautiful wedding invitation she'd ever seen, and I'm inclined to agree. Customer service was extremely competent, prompt, and obliging, I can't say that enough. We had several changes made, and they were all completed within hours of our submitting the request."

The recent warm-up has me thinking about what wines could help keep me cool, yet tantalize my taste buds.
If you're in northeast Wisconsin, you most often can be encouraged to go green.
Since football season is still a few months away, you can still "go green" by opening a bottle of Vinho Verde.
It literally means "green wine" in Portuguese. That's the region of Portugal, but the wine itself features the grape Albariño (or sometimes spelled Alvarinho).
Not only does Portugal produce this wine, but it's also the most popular wine from the Rías Baixas region of Spain.
The Alvarinho grape is known for its perfumed floral qualities and peach/apricot and sweet citrus notes that resemble Viognier. Its vibrant acidity and minerality are similar to Riesling.
The properties of Vinho Verde make it an ideal pair with raw shellfish or seafood. Sushi would also work.
You can learn more about Vinho Verde here.
So the next time you're looking for a cool white that's priced right, give Vinho Verde a shot.

NEW YORK Processor buying prices for stainless scrap have risen for the second week in a row as processors look to stimulate scrap flow in a lackluster market, with sources saying generally higher nickel prices on the London Metal Exchange are playing only a secondary role. Personally, I dont think it has that much to do with the slightly higher nickel prices. Theyre trying to stimulate some flow, one broker told AMM. ....

I'm a photographer doing a shoot next week where we are recreating portions of famous menus from the 20th century. We have researched with success most of the recipes, but one that has us stumped is from Robert Frost's birthday dinner in Washington DC in 1962. They had Breast of Pheasant Strasbourg au Plumage. Does that mean they served it with the feathers? Wrapped in bacon (Strasbourg)? I've checked out Escoffier, La Varenne, Google, etc. Any help would be most appreciated!

(RNN) - You know the old saying that if someone you can't stand wins the presidency, you're moving to Canada?
What if you decided that instead of moving, you could just refuse to answer to the new leader - and take the state with you?
Dozens of people tried, taking their grievances to the government petition website, We the People, to ask for permission to peacefully secede their state from the union.
And if you think your state couldn't have been one of them, you're wrong. Every single state had a petition, though most weren't popular enough to make a dent in the signatures needed for a response.
But eight did - and on Friday the White House finally responded more than a month since the signature threshold for the first petition was reached.
Jon Carson, the director of the Office of Public Engagement, answered the petitions.
"In a nation of 300 million people - each with their own set of deeply-held beliefs - democracy can be a noisy and controversial. And that's a good thing. Free and open debate is what makes this country work, and many people around the world risk their lives every day for the liberties we often take for granted," Carson said.
"But as much as we value a healthy debate, we don't let that debate tear us apart."
The eight states that had enough signatures, 25,000, to warrant responses were Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Louisiana, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina and Texas.
Secession isn't a new idea at all. It was extremely popular in the 1800s. So popular, in fact, that the country fought a war over it.
Anyone who took a basic history course in school knows about the Civil War, which lasted for four years and resulted in the deaths of more than 600,000 forces. That number does not include civilians.
Carson said that while our founding fathers enshrined in the constitution "the right to change our national government through the power of the ballot," they did "not provide a right to walk away from it."
"Although the founders established a perpetual union, they also provided for a government that is, as President Lincoln would later describe it, 'of the people, by the people, and for the people,' - all of the people," Carson wrote.
The White House did not address each state's petition independently, but did also apply this response to a petition asking for the deportation of everyone who signed the petitions for state secession.

I only got about 3 hours of sleep last night because I coughed so much through the night. I hate coughing so much! Ugh.
We are going to see Santa today; it's about 32F degrees outside, so we're going to bundle up and go out in a bit...should be fun.

When we first adopted our dog she did 45 minutes of continuous ball play twice a day. Now, a number of years later, she's down to a 20-minute walk, and often she'll get up in the morning, look at me, look at the leash and her look will say, "I don't think so." Since she started slowing down, I've noticed I've put on a couple of pounds. So I've started doing a 10 minute jog sans dog. By the time I get back from my mini-run, the pup is anxious about being left behind and is ready to go for her 6 block walk.

I'm absolutely astonished that only 60% of dog owners walk their dog every day! I'd classify my dog as only moderate energy level but he still gets 1 to 2 hours walks a day, plus 20mins at lunchtime on weekdays from the dog walker. Admittedly I don't have to juggle kids into my schedule which I imagine is where things get tricky for many dog owners, but I do work 6 days a week, plus have dietary restrictions which mean I have to spend at least 7 hours a week in the kitchen making all my food from scratch.

Well, ours goes out for a walk just 10-15 min a day plus a long walk once or twice a week, depending on the weather (which is horrendous at our place especially in the autumn-winter). And still she didn't chew anything, didn't scratch anything. I guess it depends on the dog.

If you want a better workout while walking your dog, check out the Power Leash. It's a retractable dog leash with adjustable weights. It was recently featured on Good Morning America if you'd like to check it out:

I,too, am shocked that only 60% of dog owners take their dog for a daily walk.
I own a Sheltie and we take him out at least 3-times a day (morning, afternoon, evening) for a total of about 2-3 hours of walking. When the weather is right, we play Frisbee, do a bicycle tour or go to the lake so he can swim. Additionally, we play with him indoors or practice trick dogging. I wouldn't even consider this a lot of time!
Not even small dogs like Chihuahuas or Yorkies deserve this little attention! Every dog has the natural desire to be outside and sniff around. This has nothing to do with age or breed.

Walking your dogs is a great exercise and also a good way to meet people based on my experience. I have a running dog, which runs with me for a good one hour. It helped me lose weight but also helped to protect me from bad company while running. Though most of the time, my dog was a good talking point with other runners as well. Of course, I have to use dog collars and leash him well so that I won't scare a lot of people since he is a big but lean. I have ample new supplies of collars and good leashes quite a fair bit since we run frequently and we need to change his 'look' frequently.

Walking is always good for health but walking alone is somewhat boring.But we can walk with our dogs.This exercise helps to reduce weight and feel fresh.

Looks like sound advice, although I have seen circumstances where the condition of the dog was a reflection on how lazy the owner was. So though I think it would work most of the time, there are those times when an individual would still find it difficult to stick to such a regime even with a dog around.

I'm from Germany, we don't know it any other way. We usually walk our dogs 3 times a day, just the thought of them doing their business in the garden or lawn is disgusting. I've been helping out with the shelters for a while now and I'm sorry to say, Americans (Military families) aren't allowed to get dogs or cats out of the shelter anymore. They keep their pets in kennels, to prevent them from destroying stuff or pee/ poop in the house. If the dog would be exercised (walking and training) I'm positive they would behave. How would you feel if you'd be locked in a small area, with barely room to turn, for hours on end? You'd go nuts. Same with the animals. They have tons of energy, and unless they get to work that energy off, they will try to get rid of it another way. If you are not willing to ensure the pets well being, I.E. feeding, walking invest time and training, you have no business getting a pet. Sorry if I seem rude, but it makes me mad, that so many "adults" take on a pet and treat them horribly.

DETROIT (WJBK) -- A contractor convicted of tag-teaming with a Detroit mayor to commit corruption worth millions was sentenced Friday to 21 years in federal prison. Bobby Ferguson's punishment was more than double what his attorneys had sought. It came a day after former Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick was sentenced to 28 years in prison, one of the longest penalties in recent cases of public corruption in the U.S.
"Bobby Ferguson was the catalyst at the center of an historic and unprecedented criminal scheme," U.S. District Judge Nancy Edmunds said. Evidence at trial showed Kilpatrick often went to bat for his buddy and punished contractors who didn't make room for Ferguson on excavation projects. Prosecutors said $73 million of Ferguson's $127 million in revenue from city work came through extortion. Ferguson was convicted of racketeering conspiracy, extortion and bribery. Kilpatrick, mayor from 2002 to fall 2008, was convicted of the same crimes and more. Ferguson's "criminal activity stopped only because Kwame Kilpatrick was forced to resign," the judge said. Ferguson, like Kilpatrick, has been in custody since being convicted in March. Wearing tan prison clothes, Ferguson praised God and said everything presented in court has gone the government's way. "In America, it seems like genocide on black people," said Ferguson, who is black. "I'm not trying to make this racist, I'm just telling you how I feel. ... The American dream is supposed to be prosperity, liberty. I just don't see it that way no more, judge." Kilpatrick's father, Bernard, was part of the corruption trial, too, and was convicted of a tax crime. He will be sentenced Oct. 17.
Before sentencing Judge Edmonds threw some strong words at Ferguson. Here are some excerpts from Fox 2 Producer Ken Martinek's live blog from the courthouse:
MARTINEK BLOG AT 11:34: Judge Edmunds says the effect on moral in Detroit can't be understated. Completely undermined trust in government. Says he was ruthless in putting minority contractors out of business. Ferguson had a strangle-hold on the business community. Needs to be substantially punished.
MARTINEK BLOG AT 11:35: Says there are serious difference between Ferguson's conduct and the Mayor. Says he's not a pubic servant so that would lower his sentence. Has no elected accountability to citizens. Says Kwame had more charges with convictions.
MARTINEK BLOG AT 11:35: However! she's not going by the guidelines. total sentence of 21 years.On Thursday, Former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick was sentenced to 28 years in prison for corruption.
Kilpatrick was convicted earlier this year of two dozen crimes, including racketeering conspiracy, bribery and extortion. The 43-year-old Democrat served as mayor for nearly seven years.

How much weight did you gain when you got sick. Two weeks before I started having high blood pressure I had only gained 11lbs during my pregnancy and my doctor was talking to me about how I needed to be gaining more weight. By the time I delivered I had gained almost 40lbs. I gained 10lbs in like 5 days according to the hospital medical records. As soon as I delivered, I lost 20lbs automatically and then another 10 after a week or so. I wish I could blame it on eating for two, but I know it was fluid retention because that 5 day span I gained 10lbs I was an IV and not allowed to eat.
Just curious if you guys experienced that much of a weight gain?

Warren Firefighters respond to 911 calls around 8:20 Wednesday morning. Heavy smoke at a home on Thomas near I-696 and Ryan. A man, the homeowner, was trapped inside."A neighbor knocked on my door early in the morning. I was asleep and he said that Kenny's house is on fire," says Andrew Kakos, who lives nearby.They had already called 911. Andrew called as well."Came out here seen there was just fire already took over the whole living room," says Andrew."Crews went in to fight the fire and also to try to do a rescue. Did find the deceased in a deck by the kitchen. It looked like he was apparently trying to go out the back door," says Warren Fire Chief, Dave Frederick.The man and his dog are both dead. The heavy smoke too much for Kenneth Hakala, a cancer patient, battling lymphoma for some time. His mother recently deceased so Hakala lived alone.Firefighters tell us they did find a walker inside. Neighbors say Kenny was just so weak it's likely his illness just wouldn't allow him to escape."He had fell in the house a couple of weeks ago and he called me and I went to help him get up because he couldn't get up by himself," says Bill Clanton who lives nearby.Hakala had told friends and neighbors doctors didn't expect him to live past January. Although they all knew the end was near, no one expected it to be like this."He's the best neighbor. I've been living here for 14 years and he's always been a good guy," says Andrew.The fire started in the front room. Was it a cigarette or a space heater? Investigators are working to determine the cause.

A Look at Toothpaste
By Joyce Slaton
You live a healthful lifestyle: You banned refined sugars and processed foods from your diet, switched to organic produce and use only nontoxic products to keep your home clean. But have you given any thought to what you're swishing around in your mouth every day?
Toothpastes are almost as old as teeth. Early humans used abrasives like crushed oyster shells, bone and egg- shell mixed with flavoring and powdered charcoal. Along the way someone discovered that a dash of peppermint or cinnamon made brushing more pleasant and helped kill bacteria at the same time. As knowledge of dental health progressed, so did the number and variety of pastes—and thus the modern toothpaste was born, a heady brew of chemicals meant to clean, polish and maintain healthy teeth.
While most of these chemicals do just that, some are unhealthy, many are unnecessary, and a few could actually be dangerous. If you're concerned about what goes in your mouth when you eat, you may want to take a closer look at a product that enters your body twice or even three times a day, every day.
The case for brushing
Some natural health advocates may wonder why we bother brushing our teeth with a sweetened, flavored paste. Is brushing really necessary? And if so, why brush with paste at all?
If we ate a diet marked by lots of crunchy, raw produce and a balanced pH level, we wouldn't even need to brush. Dental research abounds with studies of primitive tribes and cultures whose peoples wouldn't have known a toothbrush from an anteater, yet maintained near-perfect dental health.
"A good, balanced diet with raw food will self-clean your teeth as you chew," says Fullerton, California, dentist Richard Hansen. "A good diet will also give you saliva that will help remineralize teeth and wash away any substances accumulating in the mouth. People with dental problems usually have very poor diets."
Point well taken. But since modern people tend to eat more processed fibers than hearty whole grains, and more cooked or juiced produce than raw, diet alone isn't enough. We must brush to remove sticky plaque and the food particles and bacteria that cling to teeth.
And when we brush, we usually use some sort of toothpaste. Of course, there are other options. Though most dental experts recommend brushing with more than just plain water, you certainly could make your own inexpensive, effective tooth powder.
"What you need when you brush is the motion of the toothbrush, an abrasive and a foaming agent to remove sub-gingival [under the gums] material," says dentist Eric Shapira of Half Moon Bay, California. "If you mix together salt, baking soda and a little 3% solution of hydrogen peroxide, you have all that. You don't have fluoride, but that's another story."
If you're like most Americans, you brush with toothpaste you bought at the supermarket or drugstore: a paste engineered to make your teeth whiter, brighter and healthier—but not necessarily formulated to avoid poten...

Spring/Easter Dress
Hi! Tam here from Sew Dang Cute. I've got a fun Easter/Spring dress for you today using the bright, lovely colors from Lauren and Jessi Jung's latest line, Botany. Love it!!
- 1 Botany Jelly Roll by Lauren and Jessi Jung
- 1/4 yd five different coordinating fabrics
- Coordinating thread(s)
- Elastic thread
*All seams are 1/4" unless otherwise noted.
Note: I made two different dresses at the same time, so pictures are from both dresses.
1. First we need to get some measurements. Measure child's chest/waist. Use whichever measurement is bigger and add 6". My daughter's was 22", so my measurement is 28". Next decide the desired length of the dress. For my 4T dress, I wanted it 27" long. Select 5 strips from the jelly roll. Next we need to do a little math.
Here's the formula: Desired length - 10" + 3.5" / 6.
Explanation:Each jelly roll strip is 2.5", so with seam allowances and five strips, we will get 10" of our desired length (27"), leaving 17" we need to get from our five coordinating fabrics. We need to add in hem and seam allowances of the coordinating strips, so add another 3.5". I used my top color twice, so divide by 6. ex: 27 - 10 + 3.5 /6 = 3.416. I rounded to 3.5". Did you make it? Now we are ready to cut.
2. Cut your top piece 3.5"" x 28"". (28 from chest/waist measurement, 3.5" from above formula). Cut your first jelly roll strip so it is 28" long. Cut 3.5" strips from all 5 coordinating fabrics. Cut two strap pieces 2.5" x 10". Lay out all your pieces in the desired pattern.
3. Take the two top pieces (the shorter ones: 28"). Sew right sides together (RST). Finish seam with either a zig-zag stitch or serger. Press, making sure to press the bulk of the seam towards the topmost piece. Topstitch.
4. Fold in half RST, lining up the two short raw end sides. Mark in 1/4" from the raw edges where your seam will be with pins, then line the pins up at 0" on a ruler. Find halfway and mark with pin. Mine was 13.5", so I marked 6.75" with a red pin. Go left 1/2" mark with a pin (mine is white), then add 3" from there and mark with pin (mine is another white pin). Draw a scoop between the white pins. Click on image to enlarge. Cut out the scoop. Unfold and you should have two cut-outs. These are for the arms. Now we need to hem the top. Make a few small clips in the arm holes (this will make it easier to fold for the hem).Fold the top raw edge (the one with the scoops), down 1/4" towards the wrong side of the fabric and press. Fold down another 1/4" and press. Stitch down. Set top piece aside.
5. Grab your very bottom piece and hem it with a 1/4" hem like we used above.
6. Stitch remaining pieces (all the 44" length jelly roll strips and coordinating fabrics) together in desired order. Finish seams. Press and topstitch, switching threads as necessary if doing multiple colors. You should now have a top and bottom piece.
7. Fold bottom piece in half RST, lining up the seams and pinning in place. Stitch. Finish seam. Do the same with the top piece.
8. Sew a gathering stitch along the raw edge of your bottom piece. Divide both the top and bottom pieces into 1/4's and mark with pins. Place the top piece inside the bottom piece RST, and raw edges lining up, and match up the pins. Pulling on the bobbin thread, gather the fabric between pins and pin frequently to hold the gathers in place. Make sure to change your stitchlength back to a regular stitch and stitch. Finish seam. Press and topstitch.
9. Next we are going to do some shirring. Lay your dress facedown. Mark about 1 1/2" in from each side with pins. Handwind a bobbin with elastic thread. You don't want to stretch it as you are winding or it will be too tight. Load the elastic thread in your bobbin and keep regular thread in the top. Starting 1/4" down from the hem stitching, sew between the two pins, making sure to backstitch really well at the start and stop. Continue the next row 1/4" down from the row you just made. Sew about 10 rows or so, just enough that you have sewn down the top two strips of the dress. Press those rows and watch the fabric shrink up to create the smocking.
10. Let's get those straps done. Fold in half lengthwise and sew RST. Turn inside out and press with the seam in the middle of the strap. Topstitch the long sides of the straps. To figure out where to attach the straps, I grabbed my daughters and slipped the dresses on them, then pinned the straps in place. Stitch the straps in place by going right over the hem stitching. Trim excess fabric on straps, if necessary, and finish the raw edges. Guess what?! You are ALL DONE!!! Back view: Add a cute matching fabric flower using this tutorial and you have one springy, happy, little lady (or in my case two)!
One jelly roll will be enough for multiple dresses, you will just need to buy extra yardage of the solid coordinating fabrics. I was able to make two dresses with the amounts listed.

roulette scam ring has been busted after the group hit all of Ohio's casinos,
including Hollywood Casino in Toledo.
Casino was just one of many scammed out of thousands of dollars. Four men have
been arrested so far, but according to the Ohio Casino Control Commission, there
could be more.
talking to some other states and some of the information that we understand is
that this group could be as large as 50 or 60 people," said Director of
Enforcement Karen Huey.
is one of 18 states falling victim to the roulette scam. Huey says it involves
a team of players. One player performs the scam – he or she buys $1 chips, then
while the other players on the team join the table and distract the dealer, the
original player pockets the chips.
or she then meets up with player number two and hands the chips over. Player
two heads back to the table, buys in at a much higher amount with the same
color chips and ends up putting the lower-value chips back into play.
scam turns $1 into $25 and costs the casino and the state money.
group hit Cleveland, Toledo, Columbus and Cincinnati, where they were
eventually caught.
gaming agency in the Cincinnati office recognized some suspicious behavior on
the floor, and they recognized that behavior very quickly and acted swiftly,"
explained Will Lucas, a local gaming commissioner representative. "They made
the arrest on the floor."
says this crime ring has been working this scam for a long time, creating fast
and experience scammers.
four men arrested will appear in court for sentencing next month.

What is a literary classic and why are these classic works important to the world?
A literary classic is a work of the highest excellence that has something important to say about life and/or the human condition and says it with great artistry. A classic, through its enduring presence, has withstood the test of time and is not bound by time, place, or customs. It speaks to us today as forcefully as it spoke to people one hundred or more years ago, and as forcefully as it will speak to people of future generations. For this reason, a classic is said to have universality.
While most information about individual slaves in the South is unknown, lost, or has been deliberately concealed, Sojourner Truth was a slave in New York State, and there are meticulous records detailing her life, in addition to those in her Narrative. She was born a slave in 1797, named Isabella Baumfree, and then sold three times to different masters before she was fifteen.
Brutal conditions, a forced marriage, and an owner who originally promised her freedom but then reneged caused Isabella to escape in 1826, taking only her infant. A firm believer in right and wrong, she said about her decision to escape, "I did not run off, for I thought that wicked, but I walked off, believing that to be all right." Her moral principles also dictated that she leave her four other children until they earned their own emancipation by working. While she was living with a Quaker family, New York gave all its slaves their freedom. At about this time, Isabella became a committed Christian and took the name Sojourner Truth.
She began traveling, preaching the Bible, and speaking out forcefully against slavery and for the rights of women. During this period, she met and worked closely with Frederick Douglass and William Lloyd Garrison, among other abolitionists. During the Civil War, she worked tirelessly for the Union cause, even meeting President Lincoln.
Truth was one of the first feminists, and her 1851 speech, Ain't I a Woman, became a rallying cry for equal rights for women, even into the twentieth century.
Until her health began to fail, Sojourner Truth also helped former slaves settle in the West. She developed ulcers on her legs, which weakened her considerably and contributed to her death at the age of 86.

So sorry to hear about Kai and the scabies Bridget. I actually wouldn't believe they wouldn't do the scraping like you asked before.
Some medical professionals really get on my nerves about stuff like that. I know they usually want to not do anything unnecessary but since you have been through this whole scabies thing before, I assume they know you have and would do the test just to put your mind at ease. Ugh....And to think as well that you sent him to school and you didn't want to chance other families getting this too, like a normal person, and they didn't take you seriously. Very upsetting. I hope you held it together more than I would.
On another note. I got kind of peeved at Elle's preschool yesterday. DH picked her up and they gave him a note talking about how we did not pay her tuition and threatening to kick her out of school. I had just got done at the gym so was freaking tired and sore and exhausted and that made me so pissed off I actually got kind of loud and every time I think about it I get upset since I just paid them a pretty penny on Friday, I pay 2-4 weeks in advance for school, so it was a lot of money IMO. I looked at my receipt more closely as there are two pages, one that states the amount I paid then a second page with itty bitty print that shows the weeks paid for, the lady who took my money had put in weeks later in October versus the month of September and instead of double checking our account before giving my clueless DH this letter and threatening him that Elle couldn't come back to school today if we didn't pay by yesterday. I even got upset at poor DH as I feel he should know that I always pay on time. I have let him know this before and he has even had to take money for me before to our old daycare who didn't accept anything except cash or checks. I found out they have an online system at the preschool so I think I will pay it there from now on. I hate it when people harrass me about money, especially people I've already paid.
Since my mom had a daycare for so long, and watching her have to deal with both the state and clients who didn't want to pay on time, I make a point always to pay in advance for childcare and schools since I feel they provide a valuable service for me - extremely valuable. I feel bad since I got so upset about it, especially bad about me getting a bit testy with DH, but now I'm going to leave and go over there and will have to talk about it with them again this afternoon, since the receptionist lady this morning didn't know how to fix it, she is just an intern or something in the morning. So I am getting all riled up again about it.

I cross my 7s and put a diagonal slash through my zeroes. So we're all Euro trash, then are we?
Kate, I hope the nosebleed didn't scare you too much, especially with the head bonk and all. Jen & L are probably better suited to tell you if the nosebleed had anything to do with hitting his head, but I do know he Josh could have just picked his nose a little too enthusiastically and gotten the nosebleed that way, so I hope it was just that. Bodhi had his first nosebleed when we went up to the mountains last month. It was hot & dry, and we were above 6000ft. He was napping and all of a sudden I heard him sniffling. I went to him and his face and white pillow were covered with blood. It was horrifying. I had a moment of panic where I thought he might have been bludgeoned!
Bridge, please give Kai a big hug for me. He must be so uncomfortable with the rash spreading to his hands now, poor little guy.
Erin, that sounds very annoying, especially if they made it out as though you and your DH were slacking. Ugh. Was it a form letter, or was it a letter written out specifically to you? I would be particularly pissy if someone was addressing me directly using a threatening tone and didn't bother to double-check the records.
Then again, if you know going in for your talk this afternoon that the people you're going to talk to aren't that bright anyway, try not to get too worked about it. For your own blood pressure. I've yelled at some thick-headed people (I'm lookin' at you, Comcast) until blue in the face, and at the end of the day, my words bounced off them like bricks and I was the one who was frustrated.
As an aside, we actually get a discount with Bodhi's school for using autopay out of my checking account, so yay for that option.
So sorry about Kai, I hope the cream helps it clear up soon. I can understand you being upset with the doctor.
Ash, that is so funny they didn't it was you!
Shelley-mom to DS, 6
You know, if we had more beheadings in history class, I might actually remember some of that stuff. I think it's way cool they're doing reenactments.
Bridget, I don't know what to tell you. I just hope that Kai finds some relief soon.
Erin, I'd be super pissed too. Thankfully, Mira's school does direct withdrawals, so if they fail to take the money out, it's their own darn fault.
I got my blood work back. Not dying. She thinks I must not have enough protein in my diet. I've been keeping very good track of what I'm eating, and the Saturday before I had my little episode, I had 99 grams of protein! How the heck is that too low for someone that weighs 108 pounds? Mira had her first dental appointment today, and it went much better than I thought it would. She let them brush, floss, do a fluoride treatment, and let the doc count her teeth. She had been complaining that her teeth hurt (I think she had a boil or cut or something on her tongue on the same side, and that's what it must be), but no cavities. Bad news is that she has an overbite or something and her teeth are really crowded, so barring a miracle, we're looking at orthodontics when the time comes. Too bad she didn't get my big mouth.
I cross my 7s and Zs too. But not my 0s. Except for some strange reason at work when I score this one particular test and I want to indicate something didn't happen, I put a zero with a slash. Don't even know why!
Bridget, it's so sorry about your doctor experience. Yuck.
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
Also glad you're not dying Suja!
That amount of protein though is pretty high for someone of your weight. I weigh significantly more and I lift heavy weights. I eat a Carb/Prot/Fat ratio of 40/30/30 right now and my goal for protein is 120lbs so 99 is really good for your weight. Don't know what that doc is talking about....
Do you usually eat that amount of protein? I remember you saying you use MFP. I have used them before but like loseit.com better as they have more in depth reports IMO. If you have the MFP set up for their standard setting I think their protein is 25% of your calories automatically. You can always change it if you want to up your protein so it will adjust based on how many calories you consume. Also if you are doing toning exercises it is good to eat 1g per pound of your body weight. Since you are so light you can up it to 108, but really 99 is really good and if that is around your average I don't see why they would think you were deficient in protein.
Maybe if you mentioned that you usually eat a vegetarian diet or something. A lot of my vegetarian and pescatarian friends are always getting people, including doctors concerned over their protein intake. Even though most of them eat more than enough protein. People hear "plant based" diet and freak out for some reason as if people can't get protein without eating a ton of meat.

Bridget, I was so upset to read that Kai has scabies again. Goshdarnitall! Can there be some underlying factor that is causing him to get them so frequently? There has got to be an explanation. At this point, I'd even start to wonder if it was scabies at all, but rather another rash that looks similar? I wish wish wish they'd listened to you! What's your plan now? How is he doing?
Erin, that whole daycare fiasco would have infuriated me too. How was it when you went back and talked to them face to face?
Work was incredibly busy and on top of that I had some really rude people. The one was so snarky in her response to me that I had to wait 30 minutes before I formulated a response, then I asked my manager to read it over to see if it sounded ok. I wan't to be firm but not rude in the remotest way, and I wasn't happy so I was having a hard time determining if what I said was appropriate or not. My manager said it was perfect. After going back and forth with this user a number of times, she fired off a really long email about what she thought the problem was (totally not related) and then 6 minutes later followed up with another email asking if we could wait till morning as she'd tried something else and wanted to see if that would work. My frustration came in because I'd initially sent her a tutorial showing her step-by-step how to do the process and she didn't even look at it. She wanted to do it HER way and was fuming that it wasn't working. She even wrote "I could understand you wanting to instruct me if this was...." I was like holy cow woman, I have to instruct you because you're not even approaching it the right way! Ugh. People!
Chrissy, that sounds SO frustrating! Hope tomorrow is a better day.
I'm using sulfer oinment on Kai. My mind is boggled. Because really what are the chances of him getting it again and HOW?? And why don't the rest of us have it? The mayo clinic webpage says that a 6% sulfer ointment is prescribed to pregnant women with scabies. It says to apply for 3 days in a row, leaving on for 24hrs, washing it off, reapplying. I've thought long and hard and decided that this is the best decision because that way if it is scabies, we get rid of them but if it isn't, the worst that happens is that Kai will have really dry skin from the ointment. Luckily I have been treating our home as if he has it by changing bedding every day and cleaning, vacuuming all the furniture and floors.
The intern girl at the front desk this morning let the director of the preschool know what I said and she personally looked into it and apologized to me and told me that everything was taken care of so I didn't have to say anything other than I accepted their apology. So I got all worked up for nothing. I was hoping the director would get involved, she is a nice lady and not a dimwit like the interns they have up at the front desk.
I don't envy you in your job dealing with idiots about technology Chrissy. I so could not do that. I actually used to work for a company that provided customer service for Comcast (sorry Myles!!) when I was in college and they wanted me to do HSI tech support but I declined even though they would have given me a $3 an hour raise. I was a temp in that department and it got on my nerves all the attitudes and idiots who didn't know what a "start" button was or how to turn off their computers lol. Sorry if I offend the technologically challenged, but that is just how I felt. So I stayed doing cable customer service, which was more interesting in regards to the people calling, especially Saturday mornings when people would call in for their Saturday morning porno flick lol!
My boss is like the snotty lady you dealt with. Our IT department always tells me, when she has me call them because she for some reason can never troubleshoot her own computer - she's "too busy", that she has "User Issues" LOL. Meaning she doesn't know how to use the computer. Today she wanted me to do give her access to RDS on her desktop computer, even though we only use RDS to log on remotely to our computer systems when we are not in the office. She kept telling me that she needed RDS to get into one of the programs she already has access to on her desktop, then proceeded to get snotty with me when I told her that she had RDS already installed on her computer (she thought it wasn't installed for some reason) and that she didn't need it to do what she wanted to do. She makes me want to roll my eyes so much that they roll out of my head.
We use a Cisco client so our people can remote in to the network share and I have had more than one thing they needed it up and running even when they're docked & connected directly to the network through Ethernet. My FAVORITES are the ones that think they have to log in to the intranet to access Google! Their home page is set to AA&D's page for employees and they can't change it. It's not public, of course, so we have to log in with our Cornell credentials. Just because that's the first page they see, many think they have to log-in to use the internet. After my first week, I gave up trying to explain and I just sit there and smile behind their back while I wait for them to log in to the intranet page, then open a next tab (which has been fully available to them all along) and enter in a web page. It's a hoot!
I was a little stunned today at work. We had a kid who attends a local preschool and we needed to find out if we could send a teacher there. Our director asked my co-worker for the address of the preschool and she tried looking it up in the phone book and couldn't find it. So after 15 minutes of frustration she asked me how to find it online and I told her to google the address. She looked totally confused so I just did it myself and read her off the address in less than 5 seconds. (To my great amusement, as in the past I was trying to find an address and she had sarcastically held up the phone book at me and said "This is called a phone book. It's how you find things." I also found that one online - LOL). Anyway, after I found the address so easily she asked me how I looked up an address on the internet. I told her to open google - and had to give her step-by-step instructions how to do that, then step-by-step instructions for how to use it once she got there. I was just shocked - my mother is 73 and she knows how to google stuff!

I know I haven't used once since I met DH and that was in 1999.
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
It might have been earlier for me as well...I just didn't want to seem like I was exaggerating! I know I had to look up phone numbers in the yellow pages when we were trying to buy our house and that was in 1998. That the last time I remember doing it, but I could have done it after that. Definitely not after 2000 though. I'm certain of that. I don't know why they still give them out. They turn into parrot toys at my house. Cramer loves shredding them.
Yeah. One of the tests I use for little kids has a calendar, newspaper and calculator as items on the vocabulary section. Lots of the kids I see have never seen any of those things before in their lives. Likewise for the old-school phone on a different test. The funniest was when I was trying to get a little girl to say "vacuum" and her mom rolled her eyes at me and said, "we have a Roomba." LOL! They are going to have to update those tests and quickly!
ETA: And yeah, phone books are a pet peeve of mine. Don't want it and I feel like they are just litter dropped on my doorstep that I am forced to dispose of. What a waste of paper.

Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
Too funny! That reminds me of one of a story one of my single friends told me a few weeks ago. She met a guy who was a friend of a friend and they hit it off. A week later she was at Target with her 18 year old nephew when she ran into the guy. She was really flustered and got all nervous when he asked if he could give her his number so she started digging in her purse and then said, "Shoot, I don't have a pen!" She said the guy got all weird and was like alright then see you later.
When he walked away she said to her nephew, "darnit I really like him!" and her nephew was like wait, really? I thought that was you trying to get rid of him! Paper and pen?? Are you serious?? Do you not know about those new inventions called cell phones?? LOL
Even funnier was that she sent her nephew with her phone to track the guy down and get his number because she felt so stupid.
Oh I had tears in my eyes laughing at that story.
While I'm on the train of thought, I have to say again how glad I am that we waited a year. He's so enthusiastic about school and he asks questions during conversations that you know stem from something he learned about at school. I'm fully convinced that making a young child go at 4, or even an immature 5, isn't a great idea at all. Age shouldn't matter as much as the individual child's maturity level. In a perfect world. We all know there are parents that would lie either way to push their own agenda on their child.
I'm glad things worked out so well for Conner. I know what a hard decision it was for you but sounds like it was definitely the right one.
And that is a great How We Met story!
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
I agree...waiting can be a great thing for K. I know my parents did for me and I did pre-K at age 5 instead. Always thought it was an asset.
Um, I confess that I still use phone books. I like the ads in the yellow pages and well I'm still in an area where a lot don't have websites. I still google though too. But I get asked for a phone book at least once a week at work.....we have a lot of patients and visitors who cannot use computers.
And yes Chrissy, you could use Dewey to find a book. Lots of people still want physical books and we have to have a way to organize them on the shelf and find them....either by using the OPAC to get the call number or browsing the section on the shelf. I forgot what the sections were though....haven't worked with Dewey in about 10 years. We use Library of Congress at work instead. R's are the medicine section. We also have a fairly large management section and those are H's.
I also would take a phone number with pen and paper....my cell phone is bare bones and I can barely call on it. I only entered like 3 numbers into the phone book.
And I still use actual calculators.
I swear I do like technology though and am not some Luddite. LOL I just don't always adapt the newest. For example, I have found that I don't really care for iPads and I was really excited when I first got one through work.
My issues with Comcast are almost too annoying to discuss, but I'm practically over them now, so I'll share. About a month ago, I realized I was finally fed up with getting calls from telemarketers every 20 minutes from 9am to 9pm.We're on the National Do-Not-Call Registry, but that didn't stop these people. So I got in touch with Comcast & paid $20 to change my (internet) telephone #. I asked them whether they ever shared my information. They swore up and down that they would never; they guarded my privacy and it was of utmost importance to them, etc. So the very next day, we start getting calls at our new number from home security companies asking for us BY NAME, wanting to sell us home alarms and stuff. I get back on the horn with Comcast and ask them WTH? You said you wouldn't share our info? They say, of course we didn't. We can't control how telemarketers get a hold of your phone number. Maybe your phone number is recycled from someone who previously had that number. Maybe they're phishing and randomly dialing numbers until they get someone. And they have no response for how they'd then know to ask for us by name. Then they offer to "upgrade" my plan where we pay to have our phone number "unlisted". I ask them what directory am I currently listed in? What agency do they submit my phone number to that it gets listed in a directory that telemarketers access. And they play dumb and say they have no idea. I end up having them change my number again and adding the feature to have it unlisted. At least they agree not to charge me $20 again to change the number a second time. We haven't gotten any calls from the telemarketers they "didn't release my number to" since then. This time I also asked them to try to give me a new (not recycled number) if one was available. The person on the line said "Sure, let me offer you these 5 unrecycled numbers..." and one of the supposedly brand new, unrecycled numbers was my original phone number. The one I'd paid to change! So I pointed that out to them, and they say, oh sorry, sorry. Here, pick one of these. No one's ever had them before. So we picked one. And guess what? We get a call about every 3 days asking for someone named Friedman.
We'll soon be moving to Magic Jack after we get the chance to test it. I am on calls for much of the day, so I need a tested, reliable phone connection before we make the switch. My coworker who uses Google talk gets dropped or garbled constantly, so I just want to make sure Magic Jack doesn't do that for us. So that's my beef with Comcast. I'm pretty sure I'd have nothing against your DH, Kate, or you, Erin, for working for them.
The FB debate I joined today was more time-consuming than I wanted it to be, but it turned out to be pretty fun. I unfortunately didn't walk away leaving it unfinished like I'd said I would. Instead, I entered into a back-and-forth with this woman who kept evading direct responses to the points I raised, and instead started posting paragraphs and links to other people's writings to articulate her point for her that weren't purely on topic. Some of us kept responding logically, trying to reel her back on point, get her to examine some of the things she'd said. She got more and more angry and defensive. At one point, she claimed a couple of us missed her point, but the point she claimed we missed was in a post that mysteriously disappeared from the thread. I asked her if she'd deleted it. She denied it. I pointed out that she admitted to using the word "consistency" in her most recent rebuttal, and yet nowhere above it did she use it because the post was gone. Where did that post go? She then attempted some feeble explanation that she never deliberately deleted it; it might have accidentally gotten deleted. How very convenient to say people missed a point in a post that one can no longer refer back to, right? ;) She said she was going to bow out of the conversation because she felt it was "too exhausting". Then she proceeded to (deliberately?) delete every single one of her comments in the thread, like all 12 of them. Very weird. I have to say, I enjoyed that, but now I feel guilty for spending too much time when I could have been playing with Bodhi. That just confirmed for me that I have to care about the people I choose to openly disagree with. It may be entertaining, but because I have a hard time letting other people be wrong ;), it costs me too much time away from more important things.
Jennifer, I meant I didn't think I remembered how the Dewey Decimal System worked. Since middle school and (as well as our public library) it's all been on a computer. You just search by author, title or subject and it magically tells you where to find it. Probably based on the same system, but zero thought for the person looking for the book.
Myles, that's extremely frustrating about the phone number. I don't think it's possible to get a fresh, brand new number though. I'd imagine they've all been used. Around me, 2 area codes had to be created in my lifetime because there were more customers for #'s than they had available to offer.
What I hate about the Do Not Call list is there's a maximum number of phones you can list on it and since we've changed our number a zillions times, we've hit it. I cannot find any way of removing our old ones off there.
Myles, is Vonage an option for you? We've had zero problems with it, and free international long distance is a huge perk too.

Aiken man indicted for murder
Charles Gorrell, of Sudlow Lake Road, was indicted on Tuesday by a grand jury on charges of felony murder, malice murder and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime.
Authorities have said Gorrell, 86, brought a pistol into his wife's hospital room and shot his nephew, 59-year-old Tim Grooms, on Oct. 16.
Court and law enforcement officials in Augusta threw together a bond hearing on short notice in November, amid reports that a "gravely ill" Gorrell was released from the hospital and sent back into the Richmond County Sheriff's Office custody at the detention center in Augusta.
A Superior Court judge denied Gorrell's original request for bond on Nov. 1.
The motion to reconsider Gorrell's bond said his health had declined rapidly in the past month.
Detention center officials said at the bond hearing that their medical facilities are not capable of handling a patient with Gorrell's needs.

Comments On Apr 24, 2014:Ordered guards not knowing if they would work. Front are perfect fit, no bending to fit. rear fit perfect but only 2 clamps will work(all that is needed) Oil all screws and nuts and pre run before install to clean up threads makes it much easier. Look great and will pay for themselves vs boots, etc

Comments On Feb 13, 2014:I just put these on a 2013 Polaris Sportsman XP 850 EPS. They fit great. I had to bend out the left front one slightly? It rubbed on the CV housing on a hard right turn. This is the only product that fits and functions. I purchased Polaris factory guards and they do not even cover the CV boot on the front! Polaris should not even be selling them!!! The backs were a little tricky but I broke down and read the two sentence instructions. Then they went on fine , it took about thirty Mins total. I rated it at a 4 because I had to bend the corner a little. I would still give it a 4.75. I wish they had this item for the front skid plate. I would buy it today!

Comments On May 15, 2012:Nice and thick thou lightweight. Raced kamfari for 4 hours flat out. no busted CV boots. My two friends raced with another brand which were thinner - result they both had bent back and destroyed CV boots. Buy Ricochet.

Comments On May 07, 2012:Fits 09 Yamaha Grizzly FI EPS perfectly. I've had the left side CV boot protector pushed it to the point it was barely touching the CV boot, but was able to bend it back. These boot protector "wings" could be a little stronger, but I have riden it hard through roughest tails at HMT and nothing but this one incident. I've since outfitted the entire undercarriage with Ricochet guards. They have been great and I know have saved several break downs miles from the truck!
