Chief Chuqualataque Doublehead
Doublehead's Legacy
Perhaps the most interesting of the Cherokee chiefs in the Tennessee Basin of Alabama was Chief Doublehead or Talo Tiske meaning "two heads." Chief Doublehead established a town on the Tennessee River at the head of Muscle Shoals in 1790. This village sat at the mouth of Blue Water Creek in Lauderdale County.
Muscle Shoals had always been an area of dispute between Chickasaws and Cherokees, though it was known as "Chickasaw Hunting Grounds." When Doubleheads occupation of Muscle Shoals came into question, Chief George Colbert of the Chickasaws confirmed that Doublehead was at Muscle Shoals by his permission. This new agreement seems less unusual considering that Colbert had married two of Doublehead's daughters.
Doublehead's brother was Chief Old Tassel, one of the Cherokees most well-known and beloved chiefs. When he was murdered with the aid of the white mayor James Hubbert, Doublehead went on the rampage, attacking white settlers throughout the Cumberland Mountains of Tennessee. This six year warpath from 1788 to 1794 is well chronicled, and though it was no doubt exaggerated by the afflicted, the chiefs terrible "atrocities" certainly add up to a significant sum. He was even accused of encouraging his warriors to cannibalism of the dead during this escapade.
At the end of his warpath, Doublehead met with President George Washington at the nation's capital, and he returned a changed man. Though he began to mimic the ways of the whites and built a large cabin, he continued to defend the Cherokees land rights in various treaties until his death. This change of heart was characteristic of the Cherokees during this time, many of whom adopted the manners and customs of the whites. He even went as far as forming the Doublehead Company that leased 1,000 acres to more than 50 white settlers between the Elk River and Cypress Creek.
Doublehead was murdered in a savagely interesting tale chronicled by the famous Indian canoe fighter, Sam Dale. On a trip to a ball game on the Hiwasee River, Doublehead engaged in a series of arguments with two Cherokee warriors and a white Indian trader.
Served under Chief Dragging Canoe
Chief Doublehead was a bloodthirsty Chief who served under Chief Dragging Canoe. He commanded the expedition against Knoxville in 1793.It is said that he traveled to Tennessee near now Athens, Tennessee in 1807 to attend a stick ball game and while there he bragged about having sold Cherokee Lands for a lot of money even though It was a death sentence to do so. He was attacked in the MCIntosh Tavern by Major Ridge,James Vann and Alexander Saunders, where he was wounded and fled to the home of James Black a missionary, where he died. It is said he was a brother to Old Tassel. He was a full blood Chickamauga Cherokee Warrior, as well as Tahlonteeskee, his Brother-in-law.
In the summer of 1807, the Cherokees had a great ball play on the Hiwassee River. This was their national sport, and attracted immense crowds. On this occasion there were more than a thousand Indians present, besides the officers from Hiwassee Fort, and numerous traders attracted by the prospect of selling their merchandise.
The central figure among the Cherokees was the famous Chief Doublehead. Gen. Sam Dale, of Mississippi, then a Georgian Indian trader, who is authority for the following account of his death, knew Doublehead and called upon him. Sam, you are a mighty liar, was his greeting. When Dale demanded why he thus insulted him in public, a smile illuminated his grim face as he replied, You have never kept your promise to come and see me. You know you have lied. He then produced a bottle of whiskey, and invited Dale and the officers present to drink with him. When they had emptied the bottle, he rejected Dale's offer to replenish it, saying, When I am in the white man's country, I will drink your liquor, but here you must drink with Doublehead.
After the game was over a chief named Bone-polisher approached Doublehead and denounced him as a traitor for selling the land of his people. The stolid chief remaining tranquil and silent, Bone-polisher became still more angry, accompanying his abuse with menacing gestures. Then Doublehead spoke, quietly and without agitation: Go away. You have said enough. Leave me, or I shall kill you. Bone-polisher rushed at him with his tomahawk, which Doublehead received on his left arm, and drawing his pistol, shot him through the heart.
Some time after night, Doublehead, who had been drinking, came in to Hiwassee Ferry, and entered McIntosh's tavern. Among those whom he encountered there was a chief named Ridge, afterwards Major Ridge, a half-breed called Alex. Saunders, and John Rodgers, an old white man who had long resided in the nation. Rodgers began to revile him, much after the manner of Bone-polisher. Doublehead proudly rebuked him: You live by sufferance among us. I have never seen you in council nor on the war-path. You have no place among the chiefs. Be silent and interfere no more with me. The old man still persisted, and Doublehead attempted to shoot him, but his pistol, not having been charged, missed fire. The light was then extinguished, and at the same instant a pistol shot was fired. When the light was rekindled, Ridge, Saunders, and Rodgers had all disappeared, and Doublehead lay motionless on his face. The ball had shattered his lower jaw and lodged in the nape of his neck.
His friends now set out with him for the garrison, but fearing they would be overtaken, turned aside, and concealed him in the loft of Schoolmaster Black's house. Two warriors of the Bone-polisher clan traced Doublehead by his blood to his hiding place. At the same time Ridge and Saunders came galloping up, shouting the war whoop. Sam Dale and Col. James Brown, of Georgia, followed them. The wounded chief was lying on the floor, his jaw and arm terribly lacerated. Ridge and Saunders each leveled his pistol, but both missed fire. Doublehead sprang upon Ridge and would have overpowered him had not Saunders discharged his pistol and shot him through the hips. Saunders then made a rush on Doublehead with his tomahawk, but the dying chief wrenched it from him, and again leaped upon Ridge. Saunders seized another tomahawk and drove it into his brain. When he fell another Indian crushed his head with a spade. It is interesting to note that, after the tribe had been removed to the west, Major Ridge was himself executed in the same manner, for a like offense.
The murder of Chief Doublehead August 9, 1807
Cherokee Chief Doublehead is executed by The Ridge, James Vann and Alexander Saunders
It marked the end of an era in the Cherokee Nation and the rise of the republic.
Doublehead had grown powerful by giving Cherokee land to the government through the liberal bribes of Indian Agent Return J. Miegs. The tribal council had made it a crime punishable by death to cede Cherokee land to anyone. Doublehead continued to allow settlers into Cherokee land, and traded holdings with the United States.
Ridge, Vann and Sauders, possibly with the approval of the Cherokee Council, sought Doublehead. The first attempt to kill Doublehead ended when Vann, who was to perform the task, was too drunk. Other attempts followed, but finally Ridge succeeded.
Ironically, Ridge would receive the same punishment for signing the Treaty of New Echota in 1835

The Cherokee Doublehead Chiefs were also strongly linked to Canatuckahoe (Kentucky)as well as other Cherokee areas. An example, among many, is Tuckahoe himself is a Doublehead connected Cherokee. Doublehead Cave is in Kentucky, not what is now Tennessee, as well, and several Doublehead Chiefs were born and lived most of their lives, and died in what is now Kentucky. The Upper Cherokee are often left out of the current historical Cherokee record. It is time to to correct the record.ReplyDeleteReplies

How is Seqouyah (George Gist) related to Amadoya Moytoy?ReplyDeleteReplies
Some Gists were with D. Boone in his early days high on the Upper Kentucky River, near the present Virginia border, at places like Acup Creek, in Perry County, probably connected to the herbal trade in the area. Cherokee guides often showed Boone the Cherokee back country and Overhills Region and Upper Tribe areas. Doublehead Creek is in present Clay County, KY, for example. The Cherokee Kings made money from the herbal trade, among other business ventures and early on were paid lease fees by white pioneers. The Dr Dishman Combs linked Cherokee families of the Acup, KY,area,sometimes called Mill Seed Community, near Happy, seem to have Gist and Sequoyah links. martin redbird, cherokeeempire.bravehost.comDelete

A Bird Doublehead turns up as an inscription at an ancient Central American site that was "discovered" by Spanyards in the early Colonial era of Central America.

It has Doubleheads Stone and grave in a small area behind the house.Delete
One way to look at Chief(s) Doublehead is as a family group. There are various "Chief Doublehead" individuals, related by family and/or band. The top chiefs sometimes acted for each other in the chiefs name with his consent, much like an assistant chief today in Cherokee Nation. We should give the Doublehead Chiefs numbers to track them each as individuals. A good place to start is Doublehead Creek in present Clay County, KY, southeast Kentucky. Some of these folks images are painted into the Kentucky Capitol building dome. Cherokee Tribe is the official tribe of Kentucky. cherokeeempire.bravehost.comDelete

This post is an eye opener. I have read in other post that Bone polisher was to be punished for a crime of brutalness that he committed against his wife. The Cousin of Creat Priber one of the 3 of Chief Doubleheads wives. Creat Priber, Nancy ( Drum doogler)?, and Aisley of the Red paint clan.Chief Doublehead was the Marshall in town and went to take care of this at the Bone polishers resident. Then on the way back he stopped in at the bar and was murdered by the Ridge and the other guy for Selling Cherokee land illegally. Which he didn't do. The proof is in the pudding. Doublehead fought and was greatly feared for the land. Miers, The Ridge and all the other so called grand cherokee got busted as noted above. It's a fact that till today, out in Oklahoma The Cherokee still think Cheif Doublehead took the bribes. The fact is that the White man couldn't touch him, so they lied to protect the real theives like Ridge, and who else? Honor goes to Doublehead My 5th Grandpa.

Does anyone know how Chief Doublehead was related to the Nevels family in Wayne County, Ky. I have always heard that he got his name because he was born with two heads, not because of his personality. I've heard this from many older people in Wayne County.Does anyone know for sure?ReplyDeleteReplies
I do not think he is but I am not sure who his fathers side was, the two heads is because of the golden chest our family took off hernando de soto,when he came to alabama, and gave the chest to the chickasaw indians, they took it to the chief and hence all the "Double Head" names. It made our chief Double Head undefeatable so our family legend says. According to my great great grandmothers, if a person touched it, they would die. But, if you was in possission of it, you were great in battle.I am his 8th great grand son, I sit on his seat as Chief TwoChief in our family Cherokee Indian NationDelete

Chief Doublehead, along with Cherokee Chiefs Arun Redbird Brock and King Benge, led Cherokee and Catawba allies connected to the Over The Mountain Men at The Battle of Kings Mountain (NC) in a major Patriot victory in the Revolution. The chiefs later turned against the Colonials after numerous attacks at the hands of those like Isaac Shelby. Shelby, the first Governor of Kentucky, led attacks on Indians, and also later claimed to have personally killed Techumseh in Canada. Doublehead, born in present day Kentucky in the Cumberland River country, also called the Techae or Blue River, was also known as an Emperor, since he was a descendant of the Imperial line of Cherokee.ReplyDelete

Thanks, Kelly. In my recent work with tutoring young students, I've applied a wonder-based philosophy to it: Learning is inherently fun, and anything that gets in the way of it being fun needs to be changed or removed to let the learning be fun again.
IMO, the most important thing I can do for a student is to help keep alive that innate sense of wonder, and to foster a life-long love of learning. I've gotten some good feedback so far, and I continue to learn myself how to improve my tutoring methods.
Wonderist, I like the way you defined words for this discussion and especially the way you link, 'awe of terror and wonder'. I have concernes and am writing about politics, economics and religion attempting to define the current challenges facing us, not only our nation but the world. Even as current events scare the daylight out of me and leave me feeling helpless, I am able to see some options that give me a sense of wonder. I think the problems are human made and can be human solved. Especially when I observe writings of concerned people who offer alternative points of view. Confusion, disagreement, failures, challenges provide impetus to seek, and ask, and learn better ways of social and cultural development ... kind of like the evolution of culture.
Awe enhances life.
Being in Awe Can Expand Time and Enhance Well-Being
The researchers found that the effects that awe has on decision-making and well-being can be explained by awe's ability to actually change our subjective experience of time by slowing it down. Experiences of awe help to brings us into the present moment which, in turn, adjusts our perception of time, influences our decisions, and makes life feel more satisfying than it would otherwise.

Khloe Is Not A Kardashian, So Says Robert Kardashian's Widow And Ex-Wife
Asking "Which Kuntrashian can you stomach the most?" is just like asking "Would you rather eat hyena diarrhea, armpit cheese or Ke$ha?", but most hos would probably say that they can take Khloe Kuntrashian (she's armpit cheese, by the way) the most. So because of this, many believe that Khloe does not have Kardashian blood running through her veins. Pimp Mama Kris has denied this a million times over, but Robert Kardashian's ex-wife and widow claim that he told them he was NOT the father. I don't know if I should be happy or sad that Maury's team is trying to get DNA swabs from Chewbacca, Ludo from Labyrinth, Chyna and Andre the Giant's corpse for a very special Kardashian episode for sweeps.
Jan Ashley married Robert Kardashian right after his marriage to Pimp Mama Kris shriveled into nothingness, and she tells Star Magazine that he confessed to her that he knew he wasn't Khloe's biological father.
"Khloe is not his kid — he told me that after we got married. He just kind of looked at me and said [it] like it was a matter of fact. He said, 'Well, you know that Khloe's not really a Kardashian, don't you?' And I said…'OK,' and that was it."
Robert's widow, Ellen Kardashian, backs up Jan's ESCANDALOSO words. According to Ellen, Robert told her that he wasn't even dipping into Pimp Mama Kris' kunt maker at the time Khloe was conceived. Pimp Mama Kris even admitted in her book that she screwed around with a side piece named Ryan around the time Khloe was made. Jan lays it out like this:
"Khloe brought it up all the time. She looked nothing like the rest. She was tall, had a different shape, light hair, curly hair. Didn't look anything like the other three children. Robert did question the fact that Khloe was his. Any normal man would if they knew their wife had cheated on him. [But] he never would have considered a DNA test. He loved her very much."
DISCLAIMER: Ellen Kardashian filed for Chapter 7 in 2010 and lost her home to foreclosure this past October. So if you want to, you can file all of this under: Taking A Page From Pimp Mama Kris' Handbook On Shamelessly Whoring For Some Quick Coin.
It really doesn't matter at this point if Robert isn't Khloe's biological father or if she's the product of Pimp Mama Kris' wild night at a sex party in Narnia. The damage has already been done. The Karkrashian trifecta is complete and there's no going back. Besides, Robert Kardashian isn't Kim, Kourtney or Khloe's father anymore. After they drained the blood from their bodies and replaced their veins with water from the river of wailing, they became Lucifer's daughters! And by Lucifer I mean Ryan Seacrest.
And here's some pictures from last week of Khloe and Kim confusing the animals at the Dallas World Aquarium, because those two should be the ones in a cage.

A putative class action lawsuit claims that Nestlé Waters North America Inc. has been selling bottles of municipal tap water and falsely marketing it to consumers as 100% spring-sourced natural water.
Plaintiff Chicago Faucet Shoppe Inc. asserts that Nestlé has falsely represented to consumers that 5-gal. bottles of Ice Mountain water are sourced from springs and contain only naturally occurring minerals, when the jugs are actually filled with tap water. Chicago Faucet Shoppe bought the water for its offices.
The class action suit was filed Oct. 10 in the Illinois Northern District Court on behalf of consumers in Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota and Missouri who bought Ice Mountain brand water in the 5-gal. bottles promoted as 100% natural and spring-sourced. News of the lawsuit was first reported by FoodNavigator USA.
The complaint recognizes that there are many bottled water brands which do not make a spring water claim, and they are assumed to be repackaged tap water, FoodNavigator said. These sell for far less than genuine spring water.
The lawsuit seeks attorneys' fees, punitive damages and recovery from Nestlé Waters North America, which is the largest bottled-water company in the U.S. with about 40% market share.
The water giant has been sued on similar grounds before. In June 2003, it was sued for false advertising in a class action that charged its Poland Spring brand is heavily treated common ground water. The suit was settled in September 2003, with the company not admitting to the allegations, but agreeing to pay $10 million in charity donations and discounts over five years. Nestlé continues to sell the same Maine water under the Poland Spring name.

Lady Gaga: 7 things you need to know about her
Lady Gaga unveils her flying dress invention, 'Volantis,' at the launch of her new album in New York. The superstar also confirmed that she will be going to space as part of Virgin's suborbital space trek in 2015. (Nov. 11) AP
No gag order here. While promoting her new album, ARTPOP, Lady Gaga opened up about her busted hip and being hip. Seven things she shared with USA TODAY during an interview late Friday:
R&B artist R. Kelly is her close friend. On the surface, they seem like an odd couple, but Gaga and Kelly collaborated on her new single, Do What U Want. "It's not that unlikely. I've been living in Chicago, and he's from Chicago. When it comes to R&B, there's really nobody else to call," Gaga says. "The thing we have very much in common is that a lot of people write very untrue things about me, and a lot of people write very untrue things about him. Look, it was the perfect marriage in that way. It was very emotional singing the song with him. He wanted to be my friend. We're both songwriters. When I talk to him he gets it and vice versa."
GAGA: 'I'm prepared to go down with the ship'
Her hip injury was so severe, it almost required a full hip replacement. Gaga canceled her Born This Way tour this year to have hip surgery. It was a smart move, because the MRI revealed extensive damage that almost required a hip replacement. Now, she's doing great. "I just really healed two to three weeks ago. I've made some adjustments to my athleticism. I'm a dancer. I just had to rehab my body. It was very stressful coming back at the (MTV Video Music Awards). I wasn't really ready to be back. But I'm feeling better than ever."
That rotted teeth grill she wore at the YouTube Music Awards? It actually was a bracelet, and no, she doesn't care if you liked it or not. Gaga's her own person when it comes to what she wears. And no, you're never going to catch her being all casual in leggings and a tank top. "I like revolting in certain situations against what people think of me. I've never gone out in sweatpants since my career started," she says. "That's because I like what I do, and I feel a certain sense of loyalty and responsibility to my fans to be artistic all the time, because I am. Wearing sweatpants, I can do that at home. I don't always wear makeup. I don't always wear wigs."
She stands by her feud with celebrity blogger Perez Hilton. The former friends traded harsh words via Twitter after a falling out, but Gaga says things escalated when Hilton wanted to move in to her building. "It's fine to hate me afar. Everyone can hate me from afar. But the second you try to move in next door to me, I know you're getting too close, and it's not safe. Already it's stressful not feeling safe as it is. I have lots of security. I get death threats all the time. Some things bring out the New Yorker in me. If you hate somebody and you want to move next door to me, the only thing I can think of is that you're moving in because you want to blow yourself up. There's thousands and millions of apartments in New York. You don't need to move in next door to me." (Hilton did not respond to a request for comment.)
Yes, she's really going to perform in space. Not content to fill stadiums, Gaga plans to sing from outer space in 2015, aboard a Virgin Galactic spaceship. "They asked me to do it. I did not purchase my flight. They approached me about this. Everything was designed for me to sing from space, and it will be live-streamed to Earth to a concert that will be going on at ground zero."
She knows how to "function as a famous person." Gaga's still as focused, as detail-oriented, as when she started out, but she says she's better able to manage being a public figure. "I am a lot more centered now, I think, because I feel a lot more in control of my career. That's really important to me. I don't like feeling like I'm at the mercy of other people. I work harder than anybody at what I do. It's so important that you maintain a sense of gravity and a sense of your own soul. I understand how I want to function as a famous person. Fame to me is people's projections on to you of what you should become or what you should be."
She has one word to describe how she feels at the moment: "Focused."

Amazon has been rumoured to enter the smartphone game for quite some time, but one analyst suggests the fabled Amazon handset could debut within six months.
KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who is most noted for accurately forecasting Apple product launches, wrote the following in a note to clients, according to BGR:
"We predict Amazon (US) will launch its own brand smartphone in 3-6 months, using the same hardware strategy as used for its e-reader and tablet. The supply chain will start stocking up materials in Q2 2014 for production."
Kuo also reiterated rumours that have been circulating for months, saying that Amazon's phone could feature six cameras. Like most smartphones, the device will supposedly use a main camera for taking photos and a front-facing camera for video chatting and snapping selfies. Amazon's handset, however, may also come with four extra cameras to enable gesture control.
"The key feature of the smartphone, we believe, will be the six cameras," Kuo reportedly said.
This is in line with a report from TechCrunch last year, which stated Amazon will launch two phones: a cheaper model and a flagship edition that will use multiple cameras to create 3D images and enable eye tracking.
Kuo added that Amazon may integrate its own services with the device, such as its e-commerce platform, to make it stand out from the competition.
We'll have to wait for official word from Amazon to know for sure, but a recent report from The Information also suggested the online retail giant could release a smartphone within months.

Modern Palestinian Oud Music Goes Abroad
The Trio Joubran consists of three Palestinian brothers (32, 21 and 19 years old); and when one speaks to the oldest of them, the themes are quickly staked out: "No", says Samir Joubran, "I cannot recall ever having had an interview in which I spoke only about music without mentioning politics too."
Samir has already been performing internationally for several years. He recruited his brother Wissam in 2002, and the "youngster", Adnan, joined them two years later. As Trio Joubran, they are now becoming increasingly popular worldwide, garnering applause at major jazz festivals without alienating fans of Arabic music.
Politics and art
"I'm used to talking about politics", says Samir Joubran. "For us, the news is our daily bread. I wish this would change, but politics is something even my little daughter talks about. It will stay that way for as long as we are living under the occupation."
There are probably few places on earth where even music that's almost entirely instrumental can so quickly and almost automatically become a political issue. In Europe at least, though, the Trio's brilliant concerts are cool and undemonstrative, yet intensively communicative – and entirely free of politics.
A band with three bandleaders
The set-up alone is spectacular in itself. The Lebanese oud player, Rabih Abou-Khalil, likes to compare his instrument to the piano, the "boss" instrument in European classical music. If the oud, a five-stringed Arab lute, is indeed a bandleader's instrument, then the Trio Joubran is a band with three leaders – and all three of them are sons of the most famous oudmaker in Palestine.
"For an Arab audience", says Samir, "what we're doing is something absolute out of the ordinary. For us, it's a big challenge – but each of us has his own personality, and there are enough beautiful sounds to be drawn from these five strings."
The Joubrans are not restricted to standard, song-length compositions. They're prepared to let a track reach almost epic length, as in the case of "Safar", a piece on the "Randana" CD that's almost 18 minutes long. It was the first work created by the three brothers together, and it appears on their own label (also called "Randana").
Musical dialogue on the oud
"Safar" is a showcase for the brothers' wonderful talent, with written material flowing seamlessly into improvised passages. Each of the three brothers has a tangible respect for the others' musicianship and a wonderful sensitivity towards the sounds they are producing. Occasionally, the music is punctuated by pauses, while each of the brothers simply waits – a rarity in the professional music business, where silence is rarely golden.
Samit Joubran explains how the band works: "Seventy percent of the music is not written down", he says. "I want to improvise. The reason for this is that each of us is a strong personality, and in the course of improvisation, there is a great deal of dialogue between us. Our instrument is ideal for this, because the oud is the mother of the guitar."
The love of the people of Ramallah
That the Trio can make other kinds of music is amply demonstrated by the track that follows "Safak" and concludes the CD: "Ahwak" is a song from the 50s, written by Mohamed Abdel Wahab and originally sung by Abdel Halim Hafez.
These were two of the greatest Egyptian musicians of the 20th century. "I love this song", says Samir. "It used to be very well known, but it's been somewhat neglected recently. 'Ahwak' means 'I love you'; and by performing it, I want to show that the people of Ramallah still have love in them."
"Ahwak" forms a definite counterpoint to the rest of the CD. Recorded in Ramallah, it quickly becomes a kind of dance number, with Samir himself doing the singing.
This year, the Trio has performed only once in Palestine itself. Samir: "That gives me energy for a whole year. We're thinking about touring all of Palestine, not just Ramallah. Hebron, Bethlehem, Nazareth, Jerusalem – everywhere. The people there deserve to be able to hear our music. And one thing is clear: in Palestine, I don't talk about politics, but only about love."

Trey Radel, who emerged first in the six-candidate Republican primary for the congressional seat that became available when Rep. Connie Mack decided to run for U.S. Senate, is looking to consolidate support.
"I ran against great men. I was proud to stand with them in forums and debate the few issues we disagreed on," Radel said. "Now, it's time to come together."
Radel took 29.98 percent of the vote in a district that covers Collier and Lee counties, outpacing runner-up Chauncey Porter Goss (21.51 percent) as well as Paige Kreegel (17.7 percent), Cape Coral's Gary Aubuchon (15.49 percent), Byron Donalds (13.93 percent) and Joe Davidow (1.38 percent).
A total of 74,067 Republicans cast their ballots.
Kreegel and Aubuchon, state representatives in the 72nd and 74th districts, respectively, and Porter-Goss, whose father, Porter Goss, was U.S. Rep. in the 14th District and Director of the CIA, were seen as having the pedigree and the experience.
But Radel, a TV reporter and local radio talk show host, also had name recognition as well as the endorsement of Mack, who currently holds that seat.
He said he also worked very hard.
"I'm still overcome and humbled by the support. It's been an incredible experience," Radel said. "I knocked on thousands of doors and talked to thousands of people, sharing and learning."
Radel will face Democrat Jim Roach, who was unopposed in the primary, and Brandon M. Smith, no party affiliation, in the general election Nov. 6.
"We need to get our economy on track, begin the process of paying down debt and get Washington to work for the people," Radel said. "We have an election to win in November we need to involve people from all walks of life."

Ever since I can remember, I have always wanted to volunteer overseas. I decided this was the year and after much deliberation I chose to go to Samoa for six weeks. I couldn't have picked a better destination! Samoa was honestly one of the best experiences of my life, and something I will be able to cherish forever. The stunning landscapes, the culture, the people, the relaxing atmosphere – everything about it was simply amazing!
First Impressions
I arrived late at night at Faleolo airport in Apia on the 7th of June 2015. The immensity of the situation hit me as I exited the plane, as well as the stark heat – which I loved! On entry into the baggage claim, I was intrigued by the Samoan band that was playing traditional music in the background. As an Aussie girl, I love music, dancing, the beach and the sun – so I knew in just those first five minutes that I was going to love it. I was transported to my host family by a Projects Abroad guide. It took an hour to get to my accommodation and she was so kind, chatting to me about what we were driving past. Unfortunately it was 11pm at night so I couldn't see much – but that really didn't bother me. I was just in awe!
On arrival to my host family I met my host mum, my first roommate who was also from Australia, as well as two other volunteer housemates from the USA and France. Due to it being so late, I just introduced myself, unpacked a little and went to bed, chatting to my new roommate as I went. It wasn't until the next few days that it all really began.
In my first week in Samoa, I'd had my Projects Abroad induction, and was introduced to all of the other volunteers and staff. I also went out to restaurants, slid down the Pappasea sliding rocks, tried my first Samoan beer, went market shopping, experienced my first volunteer 'social' to Palolo deep marine reserve, drank a coconut, and worked my first four days at my placement – Vaimoso primary school. I also met the rest of my Samoan family – there were a lot of them – and I went on an overnight adventure with a group of volunteers to Savaii, the second island of Samoa.
Travelling on the Weekends
Most weekends I would go travelling with a group of volunteers. It was so easy to make friends with so many like-minded, amazing people, and I can honestly say that I now have friends as far away as Luxemburg and Belgium – something I wouldn't have ever imagined a few months ago.
During my time in Samoa, I went to Savaii, lalomanou, Faofao Fales and even on a solo adventure to Manono Island. I also spent some weekends at home in Apia. During our weekends away we got to meet lots of other tourists and locals. We experienced FiaFia dance and fire shows, we wove baskets, swam, and snorkelled with some amazing wildlife.
Socialising with fellow volunteers was great fun. The inaugural rugby match against Manu Samoa and the New Zealand All blacks sent Samoa into a spin! I didn't know much about rugby when I arrived in the country, but I have a new found appreciation for it now. This was the first time in history that the All Blacks had come to Samoa, and the country was thriving with tourists and excitement. There were parades and even a half-day holiday. The whole country was cheering on the teams.
Placement at Vaimoso Primary School
I also had such a fantastic time at my placement school. I was positioned at Vaimoso primary school, a government school not far from town. I walked to and from my school daily, greeting and meeting locals on my way. The Samoan people are extremely friendly and always up for a chat. At my school I ran an English programme for groups of year 4 and 5 students in the mornings. These children struggled with English literacy skills, and I really enjoyed helping them. I think I gained as much out of it as they did. After lunch I taught classes from years 6-8 and helped out in other aspects of the school.
The staff at Vaimoso primary were so friendly and helpful, and they constantly fed me. As well as teaching and assisting classes, I judged the Vaimoso Literacy Day competition, supervised Year 1 and Year 2 exams and helped children with performances and essays for the Interschool District Literacy Competition – my students gained first and second prize, making me feel proud! I helped instruct Zumba dance classes, ran a holiday school programme for the year 7 and 8 students with a fellow volunteer, and even spoke in front of all the district's teachers and the Ministry of Education during a professional development seminar.
Final Thoughts
I met so many amazing people during my time in Samoa. I tried lots of different Samoan dishes whilst I was there, from breadfruit to palusami, but my favourite was coconut jam on pancake balls.
It was the adventure of a lifetime and I can't wait to one day go back and see my Samoan family all grown up! Samoa is such an incredible place, and the culture and family values are so strong that the country has a bond that I've never seen before. Fa'afetai Samoa – you were amazing!

How to
Use the Activities
Inquiry Question
Harry S Truman's life serves as an example of civic duty. Always seeing himself as a public servant, he became a leader whose decisions made a real difference in this country and around the globe and which continue to affect our lives today. The following activities help students to explore the interaction of community and the common, as well as the great people, of America's past, present, and future.
Activity 1: The Place We Call Home
1. Each one of us has a place we consider home. Have the students discuss what "home" means to them. Ask them to draw a picture of their home and explain what makes it special to them.
Activity 2: Why Preserve Old Buildings?
It is much easier to understand and explain our past if we keep physical reminders of it. These include such individual structures such as homes, but also intact whole neighborhoods. A real sense of "place" can then be preserved for future generations to learn from and appreciate. The former President knew this when he helped to establish the Harry S Truman National Historic District, National Historic Landmark in his neighborhood.
1. Ask students if any of them have lived their entire lives in a single area. Since most will not have, ask them why it's important to learn about the neighborhood in which they presently live.

ADDISON COUNTY — Crop yields were looking good this year for Addison County farmers — by some accounts, better than they have been in many years.
Craig Miner, county Farm Service Agency executive, said that from what he saw, nearly the entire growing season spelled good luck for local farmers.
"It was an excellent season — probably one of the best in recent years," he said.
Ben Gleason, of Gleason's Grains in Bridport, agreed. He said the combination of just enough rain and more warmth than last summer meant that his crops did well.
VERGENNES — Charlotte filmmaker Philip Fass has accepted and begun what he calls an exciting challenge from the Bixby Free Memorial Library Board of Trustees.
In the next 12 months, Fass, 58, plans to complete a 60-minute DVD that will not only express what the Bixby Library has meant to the five communities it has served since 1912, but also emphasize the central role the Vergennes institution can continue to play in the decades to come.
LEICESTER/WHITING — School boards in Leicester and Whiting taking their first looks last week at proposed school budgets for the 2011-2012 school year felt the pinch from the Legislature's "Challenges for Change" effort, as well as from a potential reduction in the state's Small Schools grant.
MIDDLEBURY — The Middlebury selectboard last Tuesday unanimously OK'd a $9,720 contract with Bread Loaf Corp. to help the fire department size up its space needs and determine whether its best option is to plan for on-site expansion or a new headquarters.
The Middlebury Volunteer Fire Department maintains two stations — a primary facility on Seymour Street and a branch station in East Middlebury. The Seymour Street station can barely contain current fire apparatus and will be unable to accommodate the next generation of vehicles.

RIPTON — November is barely half over, but it's already been a very good month for Ripton residents Sophie McKibben and her dad, Bill.
Sophie last week found herself in Maine receiving an "Outstanding Youth in Philanthropy" award — a $10,000 scholarship through the Association of Fundraising Professionals of Northern New England — in recognition for her work organizing free skiing vacations for military families.
LEICESTER — The end is in sight for one of Leicester Central School's main infrastructure woes.
Last spring, the school received a $50,000 energy efficiency and conservation block grant through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (the economic stimulus law) to fund the installation of a new, energy-efficient boiler and water heater in the school. Leicester Central has put the installation contract out to bid, with the hope of doing the new installations in the spring.

Can we talk about the auto dimming mirrors!
Can we talk about the auto dimming mirrors!
I'll trade. The ones in my Prius (Model S not due for another few months) hardly dim at all.
IMO if you're relying on your side mirrors you're dangerous anyway.
Properly adjusted mirrors (using the head-wobble method) don't leave a blind spot. Then a quick head check before you actually move.
I believe the poster is asking for other Model S owners to give their opinion about the auto-dimming feature, not for non-owners to give their opinion about his driving or automobile mirrors in general.
The side mirrors on our Signature certainly don't seem too dark. They pass plenty of light and if they passed more there would just be more glare from following cars. AS another poster observed, the Prius passes more light and that is a problem -- it compromises the ability to see detail on the sides.
If your night vision is a bit weak, autodimming might be too much.
I haven't noticed the right mirror being darker than the others. I also don't find the dimming to be too strong.
But, a question: do the mirrors employ active dimming? I was under the impression there was just some kind of film that provided the dimming effect. I can see a border of brighter mirror surface around the edges of each mirror.
The are electrochromatic, so they actively dim and brighten.
If you do a head check anyway, then the head-wobble mirror check is superfluous, no?
@Getting Amped Soon
I believe my comment is well within topic.

tesla.mrspaghet... | November 19, 2012
I believe my comment is well within topic.
Afilm_Guy is asking owners about their opinion of the auto-dimming mirrors and whether they think they are too dark when they dim. You imply that he's a dangerous driver without any rationale - what's up with that? Your comment is snarky, useless and has nothing to do with the topic.
I think it is to dark. In my Lexus I could turn if off, I liked that.
Tesla should be careful removing or changing this auto dimming feature or SDT may demand a refund. Just saying.
Not too dark for me. Any vehicle with headlights on will show up just fine. If they don't have headlights on, you may see a silhouette or find it when you check your blind spot. Maybe it's hard to get used to the reduced visibility in the mirror, but it is supposed to just let you see headlights without the added glare.
I wish the whole mirror dimmed so there wasn't a rim that still has glare at just the right angles.
The rear view mirror is not dark enough for me.
Adding a little of the darkening material used on windows.
14k in 15 weeks S60 SC 8-10 times per week.
207 new, dropped to 204. Range charged 3 times and it's back to 206.
Great Car!
Mine do not get dark enough. Your lucky they must have updated the mirrors since I got mine 10 months ago. I find the rear view always to brigh at night. I do find the mirror gets quiet warm at night.
Too dark for me - agree with OP
Mine are way to bright. Opps, maybe I'm having a migraine!
Mine are perfect! Then again, I like the manual dimming tilt mirrors all my other cars have had.
I find they just barely get dark enough for me. Is this the OP's first car with auto dimming mirrors? If so he will get used to it soon and start wondering how he lived without this feature. I agree that most cars with this feature allow you to turn it off but I don't know how to do that in this car.
How to disable auto dimming:
You can cover the sensor with a piece of tape. It's located about 4 cm / 1.5" left from the center at the top edge of the mirror.
Credits go to @SocalTesla for this one.
If the mirror's too dark when someone drives behind you at night or if you're just never getting used to the feature this is the way to go.
Also, check out http://www.teslarati.com/tesla-model-s-hidden-features-tips-tricks-tidbits/ for more great tips.
Works very well in my MS. Those who think they are too dark, have you tinted your windows? I got mine tinted though the front doors I always do a shade lighter, partially for that reason (had auto-chromatic mirrors on all my cars for over a decade).
Maybe you just need to get used to not being blinded by lights from the cars behind you. I can see how it might be different if you are not used to the reduced glare. I find it much safer to not have my night vision blasted by bright lights from my rear view mirrors. Give it time and your brain will adjust to the change.
I love the auto dimming mirrors, I wish they were even a little darker sometimes.
No judgment here, but have you been checked for eye problems-- early macular degeneration or cataract would be more common causes of diminished night vision.
@jerry3 What is the Head Wobble Method of which you speak?

Dallas' Deep Ellum district has more lives than a cat.
Over the last 30 years, the scruffy commercial area just east of downtown has swung from boom to bust, from busy nightspots to vacant buildings and from trendy neighborhood to crime-ridden urban district.
Through it all the area has survived, and now it's gearing up for a new comeback with more business and new investors.
"You can feel things shifting," said Barry Annino, a veteran Deep Ellum real estate agent. "People want to be here, and the rents are great.
"There are guys ready to come in and take chances."
Indeed, one investment group — 42 Real Estate — has purchased more than a dozen Deep Ellum properties and is working to buy more.
The partnerships overseen by Dallas real estate agent Scott Rohrman and partners have bought up properties from some of Deep Ellum's longest owners, Dallas County deed records show.
Rohrman said the buyers believe the timing is good to acquire the properties. And the group has been working with city officials on plans for their properties.
The influx of new investment capital in the neighborhood and opening of new restaurants and businesses is another optimistic sign for the district.
"When it's done, we'll become like a real neighborhood, vs. this broken-down place," Annino said. "Lunchtime and the daytime traffic have improved tremendously."
Problems remain
Certainly the area still has problems. Almost a third of the retail, restaurant and club space is sitting empty. And some businesses won't be around to see a Deep Ellum comeback.
This week the 3-year-old La Grange nightclub announced it was closing its doors.
Still, the uptick in restaurant traffic in Deep Ellum is good enough that one of the neighborhood's mainstays is about to add a second location.
Pepe's & Mito's has operated at 2911 Elm St. for almost 19 years. Around Christmas, the restaurant plans to open an offshoot cafe at Main and Crowdus streets.
"Good things are happening in Deep Ellum — it's so good I'm opening a second store," said Sandy Rojas.
Rojas and her husband, Pedro, have been working on the new location for several months. Their original Mexican restaurant has a national following.
'Unique over here'
Employee expansions at nearby Baylor Medical Center, at creative firm Reel FX, plus construction of hundreds of apartments have added to the traffic in the area, she said.
"All these businesses are now coming in," Rojas said. "I love it that Deep Ellum has individually owned businesses and not chains.
"We are unique over here."
Unique was just what Nick Clark was looking for a few months ago when he was hunting a location for his shared office workspace, Common Desk.
The startup company leased a 9,000-square-foot building at 2919 Commerce.
"As soon as I started working on a business plan, Deep Ellum was the only spot that made perfect sense," said Clark, who's been in business about six weeks. "Deep Ellum comes with a creative vibe I didn't have to create.
"And I wanted a mixed-use environment like Mockingbird Station, but we couldn't afford the rent there."
Clark said Deep Ellum's old reputation as a rough and tumble party place is fading.
"We don't feel like the area is on the rebound — it's already back," he said. "There are a lot more daytime users."
Elm Street redux
More big changes are coming. Starting next year, Elm Street will be rebuilt including new sidewalks and landscaping.
Jeff Swaney, a longtime Deep Ellum business owner and property agent, said the district has quietly made real progress in recent years.
"We saw the area flourish in the '80s and into the '90s, then we saw some very poor leasing practices lead to decline," Swaney said. "The neighborhood has been on the rebound probably for five years with new business going in."
But Deep Ellum isn't yet attracting the kind of buzz it did 30 years ago.
"There are a lot of new mom-and-pop places," Swaney said. "Everybody has gotten away from the idea that we had to have Club Dada and the Green Room come back to have Deep Ellum come back."
Swaney said new businesses and investors in the area have timed their entry well.
"They are hitting it at a time where I think they can be successful," he said. "They think there is enough traffic down there."

So I was speaking with my close childhood friend, Ben the other day. He lives in Minnesota now and we don't get to speak to each other as often as we'd like. We both have families and are very busy people, but still keep in touch.
Several months ago, he mentioned that my mom sent him a letter. "She sent YOU a letter?", I responded. I'm not sure WHY I acted surprised when I asked him what the letter said. He scanned it and emailed it to me. As I read it for the first time on my computer screen, I was propelled back into the 6th grade boys' locker room (read the very 1st blog entry) as I felt a sudden rush of anger and embarrassment wash over me.
I couldn't imagine why my mother (even though she knows Ben) would feel comfortable writing him and more mortifying...suggest that Ben should speak to me more often. That I miss him. Man! I understand she means well, but come on!
That said, could my mother not have found a decent piece of paper to write ON? This one is courtesy of a realtor known as, "The hardest working man in real estate". Where does she find this stuff? Ironically, I believe my mother could be the mascot for all things prudential...
Excuse the paper. I love the picture of your boys. They are so beautiful.
Did you know Adam is selling his house? You should speak to him more often. He misses you.

The EPA recently approved Bayer CropScience's new Poncho/Votivo seed treatment for use in corn.
Poncho/Votivo combines corn seed-applied insecticide with a new living-barrier approach to nematode protection. It features a rate of 500 (.500 mg of active ingredient per kernel) of Poncho 600 seed-applied insecticide, providing growers with increased control of wireworms, black cutworms, white grubs and other early season insect pests. The 500 rate produces more plants per acre and higher yields than the industry standard 250 rate (.250 mg of active ingredient per kernel), says Poncho/Votivo corn product manager Kerry Grossweiler.
"We are very pleased to bring this product to market after conducting years of research and hundreds of trials," Grossweiler says. "We have successfully combined the No. 1 corn seed-applied insecticide with a truly innovative new approach to protect seedlings and roots from nematodes. For growers, that means improved plant vigor, fierce yields and a positive return on investment."
Poncho/Votivo includes a specific bacteria strain that colonizes corn roots upon germination and creates a biological barrier of protection that nematodes can't break through. "There are about a dozen nematode species that can cause major problems in corn," product development manager Jennifer Riggs says. "Poncho/Votivo provides protection against nematode feeding —regardless of the target nematode species."
According to Bayer, field trials show Poncho/Votivo averages a 6- to 8-bu/acre yield gain over Poncho 250. Large demonstration plots have been planned for the 2010 crop season.

Photo of the Week: Growing Coffee for Prosperity
November 01, 2013
With farming and business training, farmers like Juan Deras are earning higher incomes from coffee and helping to lift their communities out of poverty.
Juan Deras and his fellow members of the Flor del Pino cooperative own some of the best land for coffee production in Honduras, but for years they sold their coffee to local buyers at low prices. TechnoServe helped the members improve their growing practices and connect to international buyers. With their higher incomes, the farmers helped bring potable water and electricity to their community.
"Other farmers in the area say that they admire our cooperative because we are improving our lives, and we are working not only for our families but for the community, too," says Juan.
Thanks to our Board of Directors, every dollar you donate will be matched through November 30. Please make the most generous gift you can today to help even more people like Juan lift themselves and their communities out of poverty.
