In the colonial era Spaniards established most of the early settlements, although England and Russia also made expeditions to California. During the 80 years of Spanish and Mexican dominion in California (1769-1848), few immigrants came from Spain and Mexico, and even fewer came from other countries.
In 1841, overland travelers from the United States began to come to California. In 1846, war broke out between the U.S. and Mexico when American settlers in California protested Mexican rule and set up a republic. By 1848, when the U.S. acquired the area, fewer than 15,000 settlers lived there. Over half were Spanish or Mexican. The rest were of various nationalities, including English, Scottish, Irish, German, French, and Italian.
The discovery of gold in California in 1848 triggered a major exodus from the eastern states. Chinese also began to arrive in California. By 1850, Anglo-Americans (U.S. citizens of English descent or birth) made up the majority of the population. Individuals from New York, Pennsylvania, and the New England states predominated in migration during the gold rush years.
From 1850 to 1860, many immigrants came from the countries of northern Europe (especially Ireland) and from China. In the 1860s many came from western border states. The Chinese continued to immigrate to work on the Pacific railroad, which was completed in 1869. Until 1870, most of the Chinese came from the maritime provinces of China, especially Canton. In 1882, the Chinese Exclusion Act suspended the immigration of Chinese laborers to the U.S. Other nationalities who arrived in this period were the Germans, Italians, French, and Portuguese.
In the 1880s a southern California real estate boom brought the first large migrations from the Midwest and the number of English and German immigrants increased. Other major increases were among the Italians, Portuguese, and Japanese. Japanese laborers could not legally leave Japan until 1885, but after that date, many came to California. The number of Mexicans dropped, and the Irish increased only slightly.
After 1890 the Italians, Mexicans, and Japanese became the major immigrant groups. Other countries that have contributed substantial numbers to California's population are Russia, Canada, the Philippines, and Poland.
The Irish, French, Italians, and Chinese tended to settle in San Francisco. The Mexicans, Russians, and Japanese settled mostly in the Los Angeles area, as did Anglo-Saxons from the Midwest. Few Blacks settled in California until World War II. Those from the southern states usually went to Los Angeles or Oakland.
The major seaports of California have been Los Angeles, San Francisco, Oakland, and San Diego. There are very few passenger lists for the west coast ports. The Family History Library has ten microfilms of crew lists from the U.S. Customs House for the years 1848 to 1851, 1854 to 1862, 1881, 1886, and 1892.
The National Archives has recently discovered passenger lists of vessels arriving at San Francisco for the years 1893 to 1953, with an index for 1893 to 1934. The Family History Library has copies of the lists for the years 1903 to 1918 and the indexes from 1893 to 1934.
A reconstruction of passenger lists is Louis J. Rasmussen, San Francisco Ship Passenger Lists, Four Volumes. (Colma, California: San Francisco Historic Record and Genealogy Bulletin, [1965-]; Family History Library book 979.461/S1 W3r; film 1000139). This covers primarily 1850 to 1852.
An excellent source of about 30,000 names of miners, immigrants, and other pioneers in the gold rush is Charles Warren Haskins, The Argonauts of California (New York, NY: Fords, Howard and Hulbert, 1890; Family History Library film 1033667; fiche 6051188).

When I saw Nigella Lawson make her incredibly easy pea and mozzarella soup on her cooking show the other day, I just had to try it. Because of the addition of mozzarella she calls it 'Slime Soup', but it also adds a nice creamy flavor which compliments the delicate sweet peas. I love the vibrant light green color this soup exudes, making it a great addition to any Halloween party. Check out my soups & stews section for more easy and delicious recipes.
I made a few adjustments to the recipe by using less mozzarella and adding garlic and shallot for a more robust flavor. I mixed in some dried thyme as well but any dried herbs like oregano or basil would also work.
Creamy Pea Soup
Add diced mozzarella to a blender, set aside. In a pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced shallot and garlic and cook until softened, about 4-5 minutes. Add broth, thyme, salt and pepper, then bring to a boil. Add the frozen peas and cook until defrosted.
Carefully ladle peas and broth into your blender with the mozzarella. Puree until creamy and smooth. Adjust with salt and pepper to taste. You can serve this hot or chilled.
Total Time: 25 minutes
Yield: makes 4 servings

I saw that episode too! But I had a hard time believing such a simple combination of ingredients could be good. Glad to see you added some things. My other concern was what happens to the blended in mooz as the soup cools? Does it get a little chewy?

There has recently been a renewed interest in the topic of minimal and mild hearing loss in children. Although the term "minimal hearing loss" has not been standardized, the Bess, Dodd-Murphy, and Parker (1998) definitions are commonly used and include:
Mild bilateral hearing loss - pure tone average at .5, 1.0, and 2.0 kHz between 20 and 40 dB hearing level (HL);For purposes of this review, only permanent, not transient, hearing loss is considered.
High-frequency hearing loss - pure tone thresholds worse than 20 dB HL at two or more frequencies above 2.0 kHz;
Unilateral hearing loss - pure tone average at .5, 1.0, and 2.0 kHz worse than or equal to 20 dB HL or pure tone thresholds worse than 25 dB HL at two or more frequencies above 2 kHz in the affected ear, with normal hearing in the contralateral ear.
Prieve et al. (2000) reported 1 in 1000 infants are identified with unilateral hearing loss (UHL) as a newborn; whereas, Bess et al. (1998) reported 3 in 100 school-aged children have UHL. This difference in prevalence rates of UHL between the newborn and school age periods may reflect poor follow-up rates from newborn screening programs resulting in fewer confirmed hearing losses, different screening criteria and definitions among hospitals and schools, progression of a mild hearing impairment, a late-onset hearing loss, or a combination of these factors. In any case, UHL is the most prevalent configuration of permanent hearing loss in school-aged children (Bess et al., 1998). When considering all configurations of permanent minimal and mild bilateral hearing loss (MBHL), as well as UHL, the prevalence increases to 5.4% of school-aged children.
Academic, Social, and Behavioral Outcomes
Unilateral hearing loss.
Two decades ago, a flurry of research was conducted examining the effects of UHL on children (Bess & Tharpe, 1986; Bess, Tharpe, & Gibler, 1986; Bovo et al., 1988; Culbertson & Gilbert, 1986; Jensen, Børre, & Johansen, 1989; Keller & Bundy, 1980; Klee & Davis-Dansky, 1986; Oyler, Oyler, & Matkin, 1988; Stein, 1983). Researchers at Vanderbilt University examined a cohort of 60 school-aged children with UHL (Bess & Tharpe, 1986). Most of their hearing losses were identified at five or six years of age upon school entry with some identified as late as 12 years of age. Interestingly, approximately 37% of these children failed at least one grade in school, and an additional 13% required academic assistance or resource help. This grade failure rate was ten times that of the general school population for that geographic area. Also of interest was that the majority (62%) of the children who failed a grade had hearing loss in the right ear. In addition, children were at a higher risk for academic difficulty if the hearing loss was of a severe degree when compared to those children with lesser degrees of loss.
Upon closer examination of 25 of the original cohort of 60 children, Bess et al. (1986) found that children with UHL had more difficulty with speech understanding in the presence of background noise than their matched peers with normal hearing. Furthermore, even when the desired speech stimuli were directed toward the children's better ear in quiet conditions, the children with UHL still performed more poorly than their normal-hearing peers. Twenty percent of the children with UHL were also reported to have more behavior problems than their peers with normal hearing (Bess & Tharpe, 1986).
Currently, newborn hearing screenings accommodate earlier identification of UHL, and a growing number of individuals in the hearing health care and education settings are more aware of the risk for academic difficulties experienced by these children. One might expect that outcomes would improve over time; however, recent examination of the status of school-aged children with UHL suggested that 30-55% are still having academic difficulty (Brookhauser, Worthington, & Kelly, 1991; English & Church, 1999), regardless of the fact that it appears more of these children are receiving intervention than ever before (McKay, 2002; Reeve, Davis, & Hind, 2001).
Minimal and mild bilateral hearing loss.
Similar to children with UHL, early studies of children with permanent MBHL revealed difficulties in the academic setting (Blair, Peterson, & Viehweg, 1985; Davis, Elfenbein, Schum, & Bentler, 1986; Quigley & Thomure, 1968; Sarff, 1998). In fact, one study showed remarkably similar grade failure rates by children with MBHL (37%) to those found in the earlier UHL studies (Bess et al., 1998). More specifically, using the Comprehensive Test of Basic Skills - 4th Edition (CTBS; MacMillan/McGraw-Hill, 1993), children with UHL and MBHL in the third grade demonstrated significantly lower skills than their normal hearing counterparts for the subtests of reading vocabulary, language mechanics, word analysis, spelling, and science. No differences were noted between the sixth and ninth grade groups. Other, more recent studies of academic achievement in children with MBHL have also documented significant difficulty (Teasdale & Sorensen, 2007; Wake & Poulakis, 2004).
In addition to academic achievement, Bess et al. (1998) examined functional health of children with UHL and MBHL using the Cooperative Information Project Adolescent Chart Method (COOP; Nelson et al., 1987). These charts were designed to extract self-reported data in physical, emotional, and social function domains. Results indicated significantly more dysfunction for the children with UHL and MBHL when compared to their peers with normal hearing in the energy domain. That is, the children with minimal hearing loss reported less energy and greater fatigue more frequently than their peers with normal hearing.
To explore this reported low energy concept in more detail, Hicks and Tharpe (2002) conducted a dual-task study of school-aged children with MBHL designed to assess listening effort. The primary task was speech perception in noise while the secondary task was a button press in response to a light coming on. The rationale behind this design was that if one has a limited effort capacity, then when energy is exerted for a primary task, less energy is available for a secondary task, resulting in poorer performance. The study demonstrated that the children with MBHL performed significantly poorer on the secondary task than their age- and grade-matched peers with normal hearing, indicating greater exertion of energy during the listening task. This result may account, in part, for the reports of lower energy in children with MBHL. Furthermore, low energy and greater fatigue can contribute to and/or be misconstrued as behavioral issues in the classroom.
Audiological Management
Many questions abound regarding when, or if, a child with UHL should receive amplification. The Pediatric Working Group (1996) and, more recently, the American Academy of Audiology (2003) have recommended considering hearing aid technology for children with UHL on a case-by-case basis. Consideration should be given to the child's health, cognitive status, and functional needs when making this decision with the family. At present, there are multiple devices that can be considered for children with a unilateral hearing loss including traditional amplification, CROS hearing aids, bone anchored hearing aids, and FM systems.
Studies vary widely in the percentage of children with UHL who receive traditional amplification (9-48%; Davis, Reeve, Hind, & Bamford, 2002; English & Church, 1999). Furthermore, of those who actually receive hearing aids, wearing compliance is not as high as in children with bilateral hearing loss. In one study of children with UHL, approximately 26% of children with UHL compliantly used their hearing aid full-time; whereas, 72% of children with a moderate bilateral hearing loss actively used their hearing aid full-time (Reeve, 2005). This difference may be because children with UHL tend to be fitted with hearing aids later than children with bilateral hearing loss, and wearing compliance is typically poorer when children are fitted later (Reeve, 2005).
Contralateral routing of signal (CROS) hearing aids are often considered an amplification option when a child's poorer ear does not have sufficient hearing for traditional amplification. Although potentially useful for adults with UHL, studies show CROS aids are not as effective for school-aged children (Kenworthy, Klee, & Tharpe, 1990). The primary argument against fitting children with CROS hearing aids is that children are unable to position themselves (i.e., the hearing aid microphone) to maximize benefit in noisy environments. That is, children may not have the maturity to adjust their location or head position within a classroom or other environment if noise is being directed to the microphone, thus interfering with speech perception.
Bone-anchored hearing devices have been approved through the United States Food and Drug Administration for use in children five years of age and older. These are surgically-implanted bone-conduction devices for patients with a moderate-to-severe conductive or mixed bilateral hearing loss or an UHL. There are various reports of bone-anchored fittings on adults with UHL, with results ranging from no improvement in localization, to improvement of speech in noise and subjective reports of benefit (Spitzer, Ghossaini, & Wazen, 2002; Wazen, Spitzer, Ghossaini, Kacker, & Zschommler, 2001). However, at this time, there are little data to support their use in young children.
Similarly to children with UHL, it has been recommended that children with MBHL be considered for amplification on a case-by-case basis (AAA, 2003; Pediatric Working Group, 1996). One of the obstacles to fitting such losses is that audiologists seem to be uncertain about the diagnosis of MBHL, and this uncertainty can lead to delays in the fitting of amplification. Although this hesitation can be related to inconsistent patient cooperation in the pediatric population, resulting in more follow-up testing, some of the diagnostic uncertainty is the result of a lack of calibration procedures across diagnostic equipment and couplers. In other words, there is no standard calibration procedure for ABR systems and so different transducers require different couplers for calibration. It is up to the audiologist to ensure that proper calibration procedures have been followed for a specific ABR system. Regardless of the cause, as stated previously, there is some evidence to suggest that the later children are fitted with hearing aids, the poorer the wearing compliance (Reeve, 2005). In one study, only 44% of children with MBHL wore their hearing aids all day as compared to 72% of children with moderate bilateral hearing loss.
The literature clearly illustrates that adverse listening environments negatively affect the speech perception of children with UHL and MBHL (Bess et al., 1986; Crandell, 1993); therefore, another viable hearing technology option for children with UHL or MBHL is frequency-modulated (FM) systems. Through the use of remote microphone technology, children can receive a FM signal to a personally-worn receiver, thus reducing the impact of background noise, reverberation, or speaker-to-listener distance. Personal low-gain FM systems can be fitted on normal to near-normal hearing ears. However, many questions concern audiologists with the fitting of these devices, especially if they are to be used in classroom settings. Choices include personally-worn (either an ear level or body worn device) or sound field FM systems (the signal is transmitted to strategically placed loudspeakers throughout the room), unilateral or bilateral fittings, and the type of coupling or earmolds that are appropriate. Of particular concern is how these decisions might impact a child's access to "overhearing" his or her schoolmates and participating in classroom discussions. With those concerns in mind, Tharpe, Ricketts, and Sladen (2004) rotated a cohort of school-aged children with UHL and MBHL through various fitting configurations. Testing was completed with an ear-level FM device fit monaurally or bilaterally with either an open or a skeleton earmold. Each configuration was worn for two weeks, followed by speech perception in noise testing. As expected, there was a significant improvement in speech perception when children were in an FM condition as compared to a non-FM condition (average 8.3 dB signal-to-noise advantage). On average, there was a 2.0 dB advantage when wearing a skeleton versus an open earmold and a 2.2 dB binaural advantage. Despite the evident binaural advantage, the majority of the subjects reported that they preferred the unilateral configuration. The authors concluded that there can be flexibility in terms of the fitting configurations based on individual student needs and the classroom environment while still maintaining significant speech perception benefit.
A number of professionals advocate the use of sound field FM as another option for children with minimal degrees of hearing loss in classroom settings. As with personal FM systems, the purpose of sound field FM is to reduce the detrimental effects of background noise and reverberation, thus enhancing the signal-to-noise ratio. Research shows improvements in speech perception for children with MBHL when using sound field FM systems (Blair, Myrup, & Viehwig, 1989; Neuss, Blair, & Viehweg, 1991). Other advantages of sound field FM systems include the following:
- An enhanced speech signal benefits all the children in the classroom, including those who might have unidentified hearing loss, temporary or conductive hearing loss secondary to otitis media with effusion, as well as other learning and behavioral disorders
- No single child is stigmatized by having to wear a personal device
- Any dysfunction of the equipment is immediately apparent to the teacher.
It may be helpful to utilize functional auditory assessment tools that engage caregivers in specific observational activities that can demonstrate their child's listening skills in real-world settings. Functional auditory assessments evaluate listening behaviors outside the confines of the soundproof booth where most formal audiological testing takes place. These tools can take the form of self assessments (for older children) and/or parent and teacher questionnaires. There are also tools designed specifically for children with minimal degrees of hearing loss such as the Screening Instrument for Targeting Educational Risk (SIFTER; Anderson, 1989) or the Children's Home Inventory for Listening Difficulties (CHILD; Anderson & Smaldino, 2000).
Over the past several decades, we have learned a great deal about children with UHL and MBHL. That knowledge has resulted in an increased level of monitoring and intervention for these children; however, there is still a great deal to learn. For example, at this time, we cannot predict which of these children will experience academic difficulty and we have much to learn about the effectiveness of our intervention strategies. It is likely that through the combined efforts of audiologists, speech-language pathologists, otologists, and educators, we will refine our management practices and improve outcomes for children with UHL and MBHL.
More About the Topic
Audiologists are often faced with the predicament of appropriate treatment for children with UHL and MBHL. Although this is not a new topic, it is an important subject to consider. Appropriate treatment is possible by recognizing that these individuals may need additional assistance and through open communication with the family and other professionals involved in the child's care. Parents of children with UHL and MBHL should be informed of possible difficulties their child may experience at home, school, and during after school activities. In addition, it is helpful for parents to be aware of good communication strategies. Most importantly, once a decision is made about amplification for a child with UHL or MBHL, there should be no delay in proceeding with these intentions.
As stated above, this article did not address transient, fluctuating, or non-permanent hearing loss; however, depending on the severity and longevity of the condition, these children may also demonstrate difficulty hearing in the classroom. In addition to preferential seating in the classroom, children with these conditions may benefit from supplementary assistance. Parents should be encouraged to inform their child's teacher about any ongoing or fluctuating hearing difficulties their child might be experiencing due to otitis media or other middle ear pathologies. In addition, children with a long standing unilateral or mild bilateral conductive hearing loss requiring surgery at a later time (i.e. when the child has reached a developmental plateau), may necessitate amplification, particularly in the classroom, until surgery is an option. Similarly to children with UHL and MBHL, it is important to make decisions about amplification and/or additional assistance for these children on a case-by-case basis.

BEIJING — President-elect Donald Trump spoke over the phone Monday with the presidents of China and Russia to discuss future efforts to improve US relations with their countries, his transition office said.
Trump has called communist China a "currency manipulator," threatened to impose stiff tariffs on Chinese imports, and accused the country of inventing the idea of climate change to hurt US businesses.
But in his first telephone conversation with President Xi Jinping of China, Trump appeared to set aside those critiques expressed on the campaign trail, vowing that the two nations would have "one of the strongest relationships," Reuters reported.
Xi, in turn, told Trump "facts have shown that cooperation is the only correct choice" for the United States and China, according to Xinhua, the Chinese state news agency.
In the phone call that Trump made to Xi, the two men agreed to maintain close communications and to meet at an early date.
Despite the optimistic tone, analysts believe the relationship between Trump and Xi could grow tense if Trump follows through on his campaign promises, including a vow to impose a 45 percent tax on Chinese imports.
Russian President Vladimir Putin called Trump Monday to offer congratulations. Trump's transition office said the president-elect "is very much looking forward to having a strong and enduring relationship with Russia and the people of Russia.''
<!– Continue reading below –>
The Kremlin said Putin also expressed Russia's readiness to ''establish a partner-like dialogue with the new administration on the basis of equality, mutual respect, and noninterference in domestic relations,'' the Associated Press reported.
''During the call, the two leaders discussed a range of issues including the threats and challenges facing the United States and Russia, strategic economic issues, and the historical US-Russia relationship that dates back over 200 years,'' it said.
In its statement on the phone call, the Kremlin added that both Putin and Trump agreed that the US-Russian ties are in ''extremely unsatisfactory'' condition now.
''They spoke for active joint work to normalize ties and engage in constructive cooperation on a broad range of issues,'' it said, adding that Putin and Trump emphasized the need to develop trade and economic cooperation to give a strong basis to US-Russia relations.
Putin and Trump also agreed on the need to combine efforts in the fight against their No. 1 enemy — ''international terrorism and extremism'' — and discussed the settlement of the Syrian crisis in that context, according to the Kremlin.
It said that Putin and Trump agreed to continue phone contacts and to plan a personal meeting in the future.
Trump said during the presidential campaign that he wants to be friends with Russia and join forces in the fight against the Islamic State, yet he outlined few specifics as to how he would go about it.
President Obama began his presidency with a goal to ''reset'' ties with Russia, but they eventually plunged to the lowest point since the Cold War over the conflicts in Ukraine and Syria.
Throughout the campaign, the Kremlin insisted that it had no favorites and rejected the claims of interference in the US election.
Russia's state-controlled media, however, made no secret of their sympathy for Trump.
In China, foreign policy experts appear to be nervous about the prospect of a trade war.
In an editorial on Sunday in Global Times, a newspaper known for its nationalistic views, said that trade would be "paralyzed" if Trump imposed the tariff he has touted.
The article threatened a "tit-for-tat" response, saying that sales of American cars, airplanes, iPhones, and soybeans would suffer and that China could limit the number of students who go to the United States to study.
"Making things difficult for China politically will do him no good," the editorial said. "Trump, as a shrewd businessman, will not be so naive."
Trump is a longtime critic of US trade policies with Asian countries, and his pledge to rethink security commitments in Japan and South Korea has created uncertainty in the region.
China, as a rising superpower, sees both benefits and potential dangers in Trump's leadership. Some analysts believe his focus on domestic issues might allow China to exert more influence in Asia and the Pacific.
Others worry that he may abandon international agreements, such as a landmark accord on climate change reached last year.
Li Yonghui, dean of the School of International Relations and Diplomacy at Beijing Foreign Studies University, said in an interview that Trump's emphasis on domestic affairs might help ease tensions between the two countries.
But he added that Chinese leaders needed to prepare for the possibility that Trump might increase pressure on Beijing, for example, by imposing more restrictions on trade.
"He's very different from the Obama administration when it comes to issues like trade and economics," Li said. "There's still a lot of uncertainty."Materal from the Associated Press was used in this report.

Sunday Services @ 9:15am & 10:45am
Every service, for every age group: preschool to adult, includes a time of Praise and Worship. A Biblically sound and relevant message is presented as well as the gospel of Christ. One of the most important components of weekly worship at Pinedale is Communion. Observance of the Lord's Supper is open to all believers, regardless of church membership. Offering is collected each week as people realize the importance of giving back a portion of what God has generously blessed them with. At the close of each service, an invitation is offered to all to accept Jesus as Savior; to place membership at Pinedale or to be used as a time of rededication.
There are two distinct worship experiences each Sunday.
Our worship teams do not desire to put on a performance, but rather to lead you into the presence of God.
We believe that God looks at the inside of a person and not what's on the outside. Typical 9:15 attire includes suits, ties, dresses and casual apparel. The 10:45 service is a bit more relaxed, so you will feel right at home in jeans, t-shirts, flip-flops or business casual.
All visitors and new attenders with kids (Birth through 5th Grade) should come to the Children's Welcome Center. We will get your kids checked into our security system and escort them to the appropriate classrooms.
Sunday School Classes are offered for all ages during both services. There are Adult Sunday School Classes offered at 8:30 am, 9:15 am and 10:45 am. Middle and High School Students attend "Student Life" groups at 9:15 am. Preschool and Elementary kids attend Sunday School during the 10:45 service.
A Connect 2 Card is included in the bulletin you receive each Sunday. Please take a moment to fill out the card with as much information you feel comfortable providing to us. Once we receive the card, we send you an email to follow-up on your visit to Pinedale. You may also receive a call from one of our Connect 2 team members. This will give you the opportunity to ask specific questions and find out how you can get involved at Pinedale. And don't forget: Sunday School is always a great way to get plugged into the church.
1. The act of baptism does not save – Christ does. (Saved by grace through faith)
2. Baptism is a simple commandment to be obeyed instead of debated.
3. Baptism was given to us by God so we could demonstrate our acceptance of Christ as Savior and Lord.
4. Baptism should be performed soon after someone surrenders to Christ.
5. Baptism should not be a subject of argument or division among believers.

To make it easier to glue up the planks we built a 22′ x 2′ planking table out of a couple of sheets of plywood and some 2 x 4s. With this setup, two sets of planks could be glued up at once, enabling us to have all the planks done in three days.
Beveling the Frames
On Sea Shadow we beveled the frames after they were attached to the molds. This was a tedious job, always having to check and recheck the amount taken off with a batten attached to the molds. This time we wanted to see if we could make it easier by beveling the frames on the bench instead. Using a block of wood the same thickness as the frame and a batten we measured the amount that needed to be removed off the frame at each of the plank landings. Frames #4 & #6 require almost no bevelling but on frames #2 & #8 the bevel increases closer to the sheer. Once the frames were marked, a right-angle grinder with a coarse sanding disk was used to cut the bevel.

S: Red Pants Christopher Schneider
BC: Red Pants installation, Scarab Club, Detroit
FC: RED PANTS | Christopher Schneider
1: In 2003, I was in New York City with friends. We were having a beer in a bar when two women walked in, both wearing red pants. For whatever reason, we thought this was funny. My friend snapped a picture of them and later gave me the print. At that point my obsession with red pants began. Eight years and over 1000 images later I am still obsessed. I photograph red pants whenever I see them. I stalk them like a hunter, shooting with stealth and mostly from the hip. The people wearing red pants have no idea. Only once have the police been called. Although I have several reasons for shooting red pants, all that is important to know is that no obsessions are logical, and few are reasonable. The drive to collect is insatiable and the need to perpetuate is unalterable. Thus, this book only marks a point in time. The project continues on. I shot more red pants today.

The trial for Steven Hayes, one of the suspects on trial for the murders of Jennifer Hawke-Petit and her two daughters in 2007, has been continued to next week.
On Tuesday, Hayes did not appear in court. The appropriate paperwork to bring him into court wasn't filed and the judge apologized. On Wednesday, the hearing was again delayed.
Jury selection has been on hiatus since Hayes was found unconscious in his cell at the MacDougall-Walker Correctional Institution in Suffield on Jan. 31. He was taken to the hospital before being returned to the prison 48 hours later.
Hayes was taking Thorazine and Klonopin and pison officials suspected him of hoarding the drugs, so they changed the form of the drug over to liquid, according to newspaper reports.
So far, four jurors have been picked for the trial, which is scheduled to begin on Sept. 13.
The trial for Joshua Komisarjevsky, also accused in the killings, is scheduled to begin sometime next year.

Longmont has great warehouse space, and some of that space recently has been "lovingly" turned into 'The Bomb Shelter' as the practice space for the newest female roller derby league the 'Boulder County Bombers.'
Founded by newly transplanted Longmont resident and professional derby skater Courtney MacArthur in the summer of 2011, the league has already grown to 40 active skaters, many of whom work, live, and go to school in Longmont. (Details about a new recruit event being held this weekend, November 19th in Longmont, can be found at the bottom of this article)
As for the location based league name? According to MacArthur, when creating the league "they specifically chose to include the phrase 'Boulder County' in the name because they wanted to reach out to the entire area." While the biggest response to the team has been from CU in Boulder, the recruitment of new members is growing here in Longmont. The league regularly post fliers to local businesses on Main Street and also at Front Range Community College, where some derby members are students. Additionally, The Boulder County Bombers plan to be visible either in or at the Longmont Parade of Lights next month.
The league also promotes a non-bullying and positive message. "It is so inspiring to watch young women – and men – realize that there are some really powerful female role models out there that can be successful without necessarily fitting into the traditional mold. We are unapologetically ourselves and we don't let the status quo stop us from accomplishing our goals" according to MacArthur.
The Boulder County Bombers would love to work with Longmont schools. "We absolutely jump on any opportunity to spread our anti-bullying message to school-age children. I was with the Rocky Mountain Rollergirls before I moved up here, and we were able to do a demo at Girls, Inc. The Boulder County Bombers worked extensively with the Boulder High School theater department to help them pull off the roller skating portions of their wonderfully campy version of the 80's cult classic, Xanadu." MacArthur said.
The league is not yet competing, but is recruiting new members. Which works out perfect as it's actually the off season for most leagues right now and according to MacArthur, "being a new league…getting everyone up to speed is all that much more rewarding."
New recruitment dates are scheduled for this week, one of which is this Saturday, November 19th at the Pumphouse Brewery in Longmont. The Boulder County Bombers are looking for skaters who are ages 18 and up. According to MacArthur (who also is a wife and mother to two young children), she has skated with people in their 50's and 60's before. "It really has more to do with fitness level and determination than age. That's why we say 18+. We really do mean it!" MacArthur said.
And as for the "Bomb Shelter" practice location? According to MacArthur, "it has a really interesting aesthetic – it's very industrial chic! We absolutely love it. Finding practice space in Boulder County was the biggest hurdle. It had to be big enough (6500 sq ft), it had to have the right surface, no pillars or other obstacles, and it had to be in our price range, which for an aspiring non-profit is very low. Finding the "Bomb Shelter" was a match made in derby heaven." The Bombers are also currently fundraising for a "sport court" style floor, because that's what most games are played on and in order to play well on that surface, we do need to practice on that surface."
Come find out what it takes to be a Boulder Bounty Bomber! Everyone is welcome to come to this informational meeting. No skate experience necessary.

You know how I've started the last couple of Gnome Weekend posts with something along the lines of:
It didn't start well and I had the overwhelming feeling it wasn't going to be a good night…
Then follow up a couple of paragraphs later with:
… then it all came together and it was a great night
Well this isn't one of those posts.
The night started feeling average, and nothing stopped the slippery slide into the nightmare.
If we were a guild you would call it a guild breaker… we aren't a guild, but it was still a group breaker

This is neither a WoW post, nor a positive post about the family getting together for a round or two of scrabble or monopoly or snap.
No, this is an outpouring of exasperation at those psychological/sociological games that families play.
So I won't be offended if you tune out now and come back tomorrow in the hope of a more positive WoW oriented post (more…)

I'm leveling an Alt right now and reliving the joy of a ding.
It's been a while since I have celebrated dings, apart from major dings.
71-79… Who cares! 80, about time!
With the Alt I have enjoyed them all. Each one has been a monumental upgrade in skills and powers.
I reached level 12 over the weekend and was so excited, that I dropped what I was doing to hearth back for new skills.
The other thing that happened over the weekend was that my Son, Odin dinged 3!
Do I need to tell you which ding deserves the biggest celbration?

Back when I started playing WoW getting the gold for your still training let alone your normal mount and let's not even talk about your epic mount was something that sent shivers down peoples spines.
It was very common to get a loan from a slightly more affluent buddy and many guild banks were intended to help finance these big purchases.
Auctioneering wasn't that common, it was some sort of arcane art. The gold limit was unknown, people just didn't have enough gold to find out what arbitrary figure Blizzard had chosen.
These days (legal) gold making strategy sites are a dime a dozen and many such as Greedy Goblin have a huge following.
Gevlon hit the gold limit a long time ago and now uses his bottomless purse to buy his raid spot and fund his guilds needs.
Many people, Gevlon and myself included, have discussed the concept of "good enough" gear. That point where the gear is good enough, with the appropriate amount of skill (which doesn't have to be that high) to perform well enough in any situation.
The same is the case with gold, yet it seems to have become the latest min/max grind (more…)

Ever read or heard:
Do you?
Do you believe others when they say they do?
WoW is a game that caters for both casuals and hardcore, but generally that definition reflects how many nights/days per week one raids, or plays at least.
For some of us the moniker of casual also refers to the size of the blocks of playable time. For instance, I am more likely to have 2 or 3 blocks of 1/2 hour per week than 1 block of 1.5 hours. This can make things difficult in WoW, because as much as people like to tell you they can beat the game 1/2 hour at a time, I just don't seem to find the same magic.
What I find in reality is there are only a few games where one can truly play in short sharp blocks, and even then time can get away.
For instance my wife is a hardcore solitaire player. Pretty much the only game she plays is solitaire, good old stock standard Windows solitaire (more…)

Yep, even this Gnome cops the healer's bane occasionally.
This was heard during our Friday run.
I felt guilty for a second or two, then I realized I was decursing as fast as I could.
As I piped up in Vent assuring the decurses were being dished out, another voice, that of Mr. Gloom called out that he too was decursing as fast as possible.
Needless to say, my long past healing memories snapped into gear and Mr. Decurz Plz dropped to the bottom of my decursing priority list (more…)

Lowering estimates, reiterate Outperform. Driven by potentially slower smartphone growth in the US, we lower our CY12/CY13 EPS estimates for Apple by 3%/5%, to $49.34/$59.15, respectively (for details, see our sector note titled US carriers pushing out upgrades published today). While we see a weaker near term outlook given carrier pressures, with an ability to execute and innovate across the compute market, we believe that Apple will see robust bottom-line growth of 40%/20% in CY12/CY13, making the current valuation compelling

LAKEVIEW, Calif. (KABC) -- A fiery car crash killed two men and injured another Monday night.
The incident happened around 11:30 p.m. at Gilman Springs Road and Bridge Street in the unincorporated community of Lakeview.
California Highway Patrol said a man, 60, in a red 1992 Chevrolet Corvette drove with "excessive speed" around a curve and lost control. The driver then crashed head-on into a 2002 Buick Le Sabre, carrying John McDaniel, 60, and another passenger, 77.
The Corvette immediately burst into flames. Both drivers and the Buick passenger were trapped in the wreckage. A Hemet police officer and a witness of the collision helped remove McDaniel from the car he was driving.
The driver of the Corvette died at the scene. The passenger in McDaniel's car died at the hospital Tuesday morning.
CHP will continue to investigate the car crash. It has not ruled out alcohol, drugs and/or reckless driving as contributing factors to the collision.

A year from now, by mid-August, the top Red Sox draft picks might well already be playing.
A year from now, by mid-August, the top Red Sox draft picks
might well already be playing.
Until then, however, Theo Epstein and his staff had to deal with
a hectic night -- and their draft picks had to forfeit a month or
more of development time. Entering the frantic final day draft
picks are eligible to sign -- just two weeks before the
minor-league season ends -- the Red Sox had signed just three of
their top 11 picks.
First-rounders Matt Barnes (a pitcher from UConn) and Blake
Swihart (a high-school catcher from New Mexico) and supplemental
first-rounders Henry Owens (a high-school pitcher from California)
and Jackie Bradley Jr. (an outfielder from South Carolina) all
signed, according to various reports, but all waited until the
final minutes before the deadline to do so.
Swihart -- whose commitment to play at Texas gave him enormous
leverage in negotiations -- received the highest reported signing
bonus at $2.5 million. Only Casey Kelly and Anthony Ranaudo have
received higher signing bonuses among draft picks in Red Sox
Fifth-round pick Mookie Betts, who reports had indicated had
seemed more likely in recent days to go play baseball for
Tennessee, instead signed with the Red Sox at the last minute.
Eight-round pick Senquez Golson opted not to sign with the Red
Sox and instead to honor a commitment to play football at
Mississippi, according to reports. Golson had been something of a
lottery ticket for the Red Sox, but his talent made him worth an
eighth-round pick.
Fourth-round pick Noe Ramirez entered the fold for a reported
$625,000 bonus -- five times higher than that of the player drafted
one spot ahead of him -- around 7 p.m. Monday. The Cal
State-Fullerton righty is somewhat unique among college pitchers in
that his changeup is his best pitch, but he also throws a fastball
in the low 90s as well as a slider. He compiled a 1.69 ERA and 103
strikeouts in 90 2/3 innings pitched for the Titans last
Seventh-round pick Cody Kukuk signed after 10 p.m. Monday for a
reported $800,000, close to first-round money. Kukuk is a 6-foot-4
high-school lefthanded pitcher from Kansas with a high ceiling who
the Red Sox signed away from a college commitment to Kansas.
Momentum has begun to gather for the draft-pick signing deadline
to be moved up -- maybe to July 15 -- as part of the next
collective-bargaining agreement, which will go into effect next
season. The late deadline cost pitchers Anthony Ranaudo and Brandon
Workman a chance to pitch at all last season, and Barnes likely
will do nothing more than light throwing before the Red Sox start
their fall instructional-league program in September.
Major League Baseball halfheartedly discourages teams from
paying draft picks more than the assigned price for their draft
slot -- and if teams do pay over slot, teams are all but forbidden
from announcing the deals until the last minute. Because of that,
some negotiations didn't even begin in earnest until Sunday or
Baseball owners likely will push for hard slotting of draft-pick
bonuses starting next season, which would eliminate quite a few of
the headaches associated with the signing deadline. Hard slotting
likewise would prevent more aggressive teams -- like the Red Sox --
from loading up on talent by drafting hard-to-sign high-school
players and buying them out of college commitments with
seven-figure signing bonuses.
But without the lure of over-slot money, Ryan Kalish might have
gone to play football at Virginia, Casey Kelly might have gone to
play football at Tennessee and Will Middlebrooks might have gone to
play football at Texas A&M.
Golson made clear during the signing process he wanted to play
football at Ole Miss, and it was believed it would take a bonus
significantly above the assigned value of his draft slot to get the
outfielder to sign.
The draft-pick signing deadline and hard slotting can be
separate issues. It's becoming harder and harder -- given the way
so many negotiations go down to the wire -- to justify waiting
until August to have players sign their contracts. Players who sign
early do tend to get head starts.
Second-round pick Williams Jerez already has close to 100 plate
appearances under his belt in the Rookie-level Gulf Coast League
this season, and third-round pick Jordan Weems has a handful of
plate appearances of his own. Jerez, 19-year-old outfielder, signed
more than a month ago for almost $450,000; Weems, an 18-year-old
catcher, signed on July 30 for $500,000.
Sixth-round pick Miguel Pena, ninth-round pick Travis Shaw and
13th-round pick Matty Ott all signed before the end of June and
began their careers this summer at short-season Single-A
Pena has a 2.35 ERA and 22 strikeouts with just three walks in
15 1/3 innings pitched for the Spinners this season, and Ott has a
4.00 ERA with 16 strikeouts in 18 innings pitched.
Shaw has hit .283 with a .413 on-base percentage and a .471
slugging percentage in more than 150 plate appearances, and he has
played in the field both at first base and third base.
All three could be in line for an April assignment to Single-A
Greenville next season, thanks in part to their accelerated

The title of my post is similar to the title of Brian Joo's blogspot before when he haven't openned his myspace account for a long time…I copied it since i haven't visited my WP account for more than a month I think??! =D
I just feel like posting today because I want to post about the "Bibimbap" I made for lunch today.. Here's some pictures I took a while ago..
Looks yummy, right?! Hehehe! ^_^
I'm currently watching the ongoing dramas (Swallow the Sun,Take Care of Agasshi & Soul). I'm also watching Yamapi's current drama, "Buzzer Beat," courtesy of my Krissy unni who's a huge fan of NEWS, particularly Yamapi, hehe! ^^ And i'm also re-watching my favorite drama of Goo Hye Sun, "Hearts of 19/Pure 19" just because I suddenly miss the drama,keke!
I'm still addicted to G-Dragon's 1st album Heartbreaker. I so LOVE all of his songs especially Heartbreaker. I also love the MV.. It makes me get even more excited on getting my copy of his album. Too bad can't afford to buy their 1st Japanese album right now since it's quite expensive.. but maybe later i'll be able to buy my copy. ^^
…and now i'm waiting for my download of Big Bang's Big Show Concert to finish then i'm off to watch it, yay!! ^^
…and maybe i'll be updating my blog again daily (but i'm not promising anything, LOL! =p)
Today's the teaser MV of Hyung Joon…
can't wait for the full MV to come out. ^_^
Here's Kim Hyun Joong's 'Please Be Good to Me" MV teaser… In my opinion, his MV is much better than Kyu Jong's Wuss Up. ^_^

It has been a long wait but it's certainly something worth waiting for. Actress Yoon Eun Hye will finally be returning to the small screen with a new drama this August after a near 2 years absence with MBC's Coffee Prince.
Yoon Eun Hye will be returning with the drama called Lady Castle which is tentatively set for a 19th August premiere on KBS2TV. Lady Castle will be taking over the spot vacated by the lawyer drama, Partners in the Wed-Thus timeslot if everything goes according to schedule (barring drama extensions, etc). Competing dramas will be SBS's Swallow the Sun starring Ji Sung, Sung Yuri, Lee Wan and MBC's horror drama, Soul, starring Lee Seo Jin.
Lady Castle is a story about 3 daughters and the inheritance left by their father. Their lifestyle is disrupted after a poor man disguises himself as a housekeeper/manager of a rich house with an eye on the family's hidden slush fund. He falls in love with the haughty second daughter (of three), Noh Yura, played by Yoon Eun Hye. Noh Yura is a lady who possesses a goddess-like beauty. She is strong-headed, selfish and the world revolves around her, where all things must go her way. Yet, Yura is lonely and longs to be loved, and for this, Yura is weak in front of true love and is one who you cannot help but love.
2009 hottest new girl group debutants 2NE1 and 4minute are going to be duking it out on MNET M! Countdown for the title of best new girl group on 18th June! These girls have caught the attention of Korea's netizens and are already starting to be compared even though 4minute hasn't even had their debut stage. 4minute will have to work hard to impress the crowd and make their presence known on stage, or they'll fall into the shadow of 2NE1's ever-growing popularity.
With the enormous popularity of the "So Fresh So Cool" song and CF, Hite beer is going to fire off another commercial featuring Big Bang, albeit without maknae Seungri (the 1990-er is too young to drink). As we have come to expect, stalker pics revealing the group's fashion are making waves amongst netizens, though it seems pretty normal K-Pop-wise – bright, bold colors. Wake me up when something like this happens.

Oh, what a noble and beautiful city is Constantinople! How many monasteries and palaces it contains, constructed with wonderful skill! It would take too long to describe all the wealth that is there of every kind, of gold, of silver, all kinds of clothes, holy relics... There are, I think, around twenty thousand eunuchs living there always.
~ Fulcher of Chartres (1059 -??) (Historia Hierosolymitana, during the First Crusade, 1096)
They found the Turks coming right up under the walls and seeking battle, particularly the Janissaries ... and when one or two of them were killed, at once more Turks came and took away the dead ones ... without caring how near they came to the city walls. Our men shot at them with guns and crossbows, aiming at the Turk who was carrying away his dead countryman, and both of them would fall to the ground dead, and then there came other Turks and took them away, none fearing death, but being willing to let ten of themselves be killed rather than suffer the shame of leaving a single Turkish corpse by the walls.
Nothing will ever equal the horror of this harrowing and terrible spectacle. People frightened by the shouting ran out of their houses and were cut down by the sword before they knew what was happening. And some were massacred in their houses where they tried to hide, and some in churches where they sought refuge... they were intent on pillage and roamed through the town stealing, disrobing, pillaging, killing, raping, taking captive men, women, children, old men, young men, monks, priests, people of all sorts and conditions . . . There were virgins who awoke from troubled sleep to find those brigands standing over them with bloody hands and faces full of abject fury. This medley of all nations, these frantic brutes stormed into their houses, dragged them, tore them, forced them, dishonored them, raped them at the cross-roads and made them submit to the most terrible outrages.
|(wiki) The last siege of Constantinople,
contemporary 15th century French miniature
~ excerpts from various eye-witness accounts of the fall of Constantinople (wiki), 29 May 1453
Today is the anniversary of the fall of Constantinople in 1453 (wiki) to an Ottoman army under the 21-year-old Sultan Mehmet II after a siege of seven weeks. The last Byzantine emperor, Constantine XI Paliailogos, died in the final defense of the city, and the ensuing orgy of pillage and massacre brought the eastern Roman empire to a decisive end.*
Founded as Byzantium in the 7th century B.C. by Greek colonists from Megara, Constantinople (now Istanbul) sits at the junction of the Sea of Marmara and the Bosphorus, which leads to the Black Sea, about 15 miles to the northeast. This strategic location led to its becoming an ancient entrepot for trade between the east and west, and in A.D. 330, the Roman emperor Constantine made it the capital of his eastern empire, which - as the Byzantine Empire - outlasted the fall of Rome itself by nearly 1,000 years. After the sack of the city by the Fourth Crusade in 1204, the Byzantine Empire never regained its former glory, and by the time of its final defeat, it had been whittled down by the Ottoman Turks to little more than the capital itself and a small hinterland.
|Mehmet entering the city after three days of rape and plunder
The loss of Constantinople was a major shock to Christendom and particularly to the Greek and Russian Orthodox communities, for whom the city had been their spiritual nexus. During its subsequent "golden age" and 19th-century decline, Constantinople remained the capital of the Ottoman Empire until the end of World War I, when what was left of the old Ottoman territories became today's Republic of Turkey with a new capital at Ankara.**
French aviator and writer Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (1900-1944) wrote in Flight to Arras,
"The injustice of defeat lies in the fact that its most innocent victims are made to look like heartless accomplices. It is impossible to see behind defeat the sacrifices, the austere performance of duty, the self-discipline and the vigilance that are there - those things the god of battle does not take account of."
* N.B. In addition to the Byzantine Greeks defending the city, there were large contingents of Venetians, Genoese, Sicilians, and natives of the Papal States.
** However, it wasn't until 1930 that the Turkish government officially changed the name of the city to Istanbul.
Here's a brief documentary:
And you can't do a piece on Constantinople without the classic song Istanbul (Not Constantinople) - the video below is a Tiny Toons production using the version by They Must Be Giants, but for the music alone I prefer the original 1953 version by The Four Lads.
Istanbul was Constantinople
Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople
Been a long time gone, ol' Constantinople
Now it's Turkish delight on a moonlit night...

I couldn't do it. As hard as I tried and as many times as I begged for help from my unsuspecting husband, I just couldn't come up with a topic for I. My creativity bank refused to cash me a check, as it were. I see you're probably rolling your eyes. Really? you're thinking. Not one interesting topic popped into your brain all week? Well, I had plenty of topics, but interesting is the operative word. Take a look at what I mean:
Ice cream– too distracting. I'd have to get up and make myself a bowl
Intelligence (military)– it's all classified so what's the point
Imperial Russia– um, no
Influenza– the feel good post of the week. I was trying to tie it into WWI
Imposter-myself, for thinking I could get away with sounding like a credible writer for the week with such a bad post
Ichabod Crane-inspired from watching Fox's new show Sleepy Hollow. Not really a topic there except this new Headless Horseman wields an assault rifle.
So, if you're daring to be truthful, who else has struggled with a topic? Not just this week, but any week or day when the writing muse decides to take a vacation.
