We want to take our music to everyone in the world who has access to a medium such as the Internet. We believe our music speaks to all of their hearts, whether they speak English or not. Our music will speak to their hearts, and then they can be touched by the Spirit, and that can then lead to a happier life, more joy, fulfillment, resolution of problems. —Choir president Ron Jarrett
SALT LAKE CITY — The Mormon Tabernacle Choir has won an Emmy for the first time in 26 years, adding another major milestone in a remarkable year for the choir.
Yet another achievement came last week when the choir's YouTube channel celebrated its first birthday by drawing more than 5 million views in its first year. Choir leaders are excited that much of that traffic came from international audiences it can track through statistics provided by YouTube that include some surprising information.
Those developments are aligned with the choir's goals to expand its international reach, attract younger audiences and reflect well on the LDS Church.
The choir released a new infographic on Pinterest about its YouTube numbers. YouTube.com/mormontabchoir drew 5,045,535 views in its first year for 612 uploaded videos, including interviews, specials and the weekly broadcasts of "Music and the Spoken Word."
The channel also collected 42,109 "likes" and viewers from 226 countries.
"We do want to reach a huge audience," choir president Ron Jarrett said. "We want to take our music to everyone in the world who has access to a medium such as the Internet. We believe our music speaks to all of their hearts, whether they speak English or not. Our music will speak to their hearts, and then they can be touched by the Spirit, and that can then lead to a happier life, more joy, fulfillment, resolution of problems. We can be a means to bring a greater amount of joy and peace to the world, and we'll do that one song at a time."
The most popular video, by far, was "Bring Him Home," from "Les Miserables," which the choir performed with Alfie Boe. A David Archuleta song was second.
The choir hopes to use those YouTube analytical tools to better target growth.
"One thing we find is the choir is a place where people turn on (big) occasions," choir general manager Scott Barrick said. "We had a huge spike on our Facebook and YouTube pages at 9/11 (this year). Our biggest spike during the year is at Christmas, but at other holidays, too. People seem to associate the music of the choir with moments in their lives that they want to reinforce with these feelings that come through music, of peace and joy and contentment. Those are things we've learned from YouTube that we are trying to accentuate as we move forward."
Barrick said the percentage of the YouTube audience that is international has grown throughout the past year, and that international audience skews younger.
That's music to the ears of Jarrett, who relentlessly pursues his goal of reaching younger audiences. That's been done this year via marketing and distribution, such as the YouTube channel, Instagram, Pinterest and Facebook, and concerts with younger artists, like the Pioneer concert in July when YouTube darling and hiphop violinist Lindsey Stirling and singer Nathan Pacheco — both BYU alumni — joined the choir.
The regional Emmy for "Special Event Coverage (other than news or sports) — Live or Edited," was awarded to choir director Mack Wilberg and six BYU broadcasting executives for their TV broadcast of "The Mormon Tabernacle Choir Presents the Joy of Song" with crossover artist Katherine Jenkins, who also was the runner-up on the 2012 edition of "Dancing with the Stars."
It is the choir's second Emmy. The first came in 1987 for a Christmas special featuring opera singer Shirley Verrett.
"It's a wonderful pleasure for us to get another Emmy," Barrick said. "It's been awhile, even longer, since we've won a Grammy, but we continue to have both as objectives."
The choir's big 2013 has roots in 2012, when it was named the No. 1 billboard classical recording artist for 2012 and recorded its Christmas concert, "Home for the Holidays," with Alfie Boe and Tom Brokaw. That concert has just been released in DVD and CD formats. And a children's book, "Christmas from Heaven: The True Story of the Berlin Candy Bomber," is also available in stores.
2013 has also seen the choir:
— launch a new website, www.mormontabernaclechoir.org
— record a new CD in May with British bass-baritone Bryn Terfel, "Homeward Bound." A joint venture with Deutsche Grammophon, the CD was released in September
— conduct its six-city tour as well as the Stirling/Pacheco concert over the summer
— reach a new audience through two special concerts with James Taylor in September.
All that and the choir still has its 2013 Christmas concerts ahead, with soprano Deborah Voigt and British actor John Rhys-Davies ("Indiana Jones" and "Lord of the Rings").
Jarrett and Barrick already are looking ahead to 2014, when they hope to unveil an app for the choir, a new revision of the website, new recordings, a BYUtv special of the James Taylor concert and more.

OCONOMOWOC, Wis., May 9 (UPI) -- A group of Wisconsin high school students said their prom ended up being even more unforgettable than expected when they fell into a lake.
Miranda Sachtschale and Matt Timm, juniors at Kettle Moraine High School in Wales, said they and their friends went to Lac La Belle in Oconomowoc prior to the prom Saturday to take some group photos and they all gathered on a wooden pier, WISN-TV, Milwaukee, reported Wednesday.
"I heard like, one crack, and then the whole thing collapsed from under us," Timm said.
The group said they emerged from the lake and were able to make it to the prom after spending some time with blow dryers.
"We're laughing about it now and it's hilarious, and I'm sure my kids will laugh at it," junior Tom Gensler said. "It'll be remembered a long time."

The Eliminate Project is about protecting newborn and future babies from tetanus and helping them reach another birthday. To raise awareness about the importance of this task, Kiwanian Bob Marshall of the Norfolk, Nebraska, Kiwanis Club decided to use two things at his disposal: his 60th birthday and his love of music.
A member of several bands throughout his life, Bob's musical repertoire includes a variety of instruments. "I've been a music-maker for most of my life, starting with piano lessons, saxophone in school, then picking up drums, guitar and bass on my own," he says.
So it was only natural for birthday plans to turn into a jam session with as many old rock colleagues as he could find. But as the idea matured, Marshall realized the event would be more meaningful if it could benefit a worthy cause. As a pharmacist and a Walter Zeller Fellow convinced of the ease of eliminating maternal and neonatal tetanus with immunizations, he knew just the one.
"When we learned how gruesome it is to die of tetanus and how easy it is to prevent it, it was pretty easy to jump on the bandwagon. Try as I might, I can't think of anything better to spend my money on!" he jokes.
When the idea matured into a means to expose the community to The Eliminate Project, his club—a US$100,000 donor—was more than enthusiastic. Kiwanians donated nearly 50 silent auction items, ranging from a Nebraska Cornhusker office chair to woodworking projects and homemade pies. Club member Randy Dee, also a manager of the Times Square Event Center, generously donated not only the party's venue, but a dollar of the profit made on every drink purchased that night.
"We want to host this event annually, or even more often!" he says.
Advertised with flyers, radio interviews and newspaper articles, the event attracted nearly 200 attendees eager to dance, mingle and support a worthwhile cause. Though no admission was charged, the auction and monetary donations raked in nearly US$5000.
"My wife, Heidi, and I love to dance, and as active Kiwanians, we both know the importance of The Eliminate Project, so the evening was a real winner," shares club member and Vice Governor of the Nebraska-Iowa District Steve McNally.
The event was so successful that the club is already planning to host another. Everyone wishes Marshall could have birthdays more frequently. –Courtney Meyer

This is a post from well-known cosplayer and costumer, Yaya Han. Although cosplay is not usually historical costuming, the advice in the post applies to us as historical costumers and dressers. You can read more about Yaya here
"This is something I wrote last year and I think it bears repeating every once in a while.
This is a reminder and encouraging post to experienced and new cosplayers alike. And as a disclaimer off the bat - I do not see myself as an authority in cosplay. I only call myself an ambassador because I wanted to steer away from other superlative "titles' given to me by a myriad of sources over the years. I know of MANY ambassadors for cosplay, people who do a lot of good in the community and are positive influences. I strive to be more like them.
I'm speaking to you simply as a cosplayer who cares about this unique great thing a lot. And I see the community in turmoil right now. This amazing community that gave me so much happiness and wonders over 14 years. So, I want to talk about some hot topics in cosplay. Right now. Me, talking to you. In all honesty. My true opinions.
This is a hobby. An art form. A career for some. A social pastime for others. Cosplay is not a sport. There is no rule book, commandments, or memo on HOW you should cosplay.
If you want to buy a costume, go for it! Enjoy wearing it! Many cosplayers I know commission costumes from experienced costume makers and it is a wonderful relationship to witness. My friends get to make costumes for a living, and someone out there feels like they can take on the world with an awesome custom fit costume for them. It's beautiful.
If you want to make an elaborate costume and put hundreds of hours into it, go for it! Love the process and cherish the creative outlet that it will give you. Craftsmanship is the driving force behind all of my costumes, and I speak loudly about my love for craftsmanship and how it should be important to those who want to make costumes. Because caring about something pushes you to explore further, be bolder, try more things. It is a JOY to be hands on while making a costume, and I want to share that feeling with everyone.
If you want to dress like a sexy character, go for it! Cosplay is a great confidence builder and for some, a motivational tool for eating healthier and leading a more active lifestyle. You can't diss anything that can help you live a longer, healthier life.
I have dressed as some very sexy characters in the past, from Felicia to Jessica Rabbit to Power Girl to Ank-su-namun from The Mummy. Before cosplay was in the mainstream's eye, the main audience for it was other cosplayers and con-goers! Many understood that you were portraying a character that was designed specifically to be vivacious, sexy and a fantasy. The amazing thing about those female characters is that no matter how they dressed, they stood on their own, fended for themselves, and were confident, powerful women. I think the attractiveness to characters such as these is their validity as a person BEYOND just being female.
Now, cosplayers are judged at face value, often by folks who have never heard of the games, comics, or characters before, and don't know that they were designed that way.
Well, I'm here to tell you, that most sexy characters WERE designed by someone in the professional entertainment field, we are here replicating those designs.
Also, if you ever wondered why so many female cosplayers dress so provocatively, consider the notion that maybe as young girls, we grew up reading these comic book characters' stories, watching Princess Leia kill Jabba the Hutt despite being in a SLAVE outfit, and admired Jessica Rabbit's loyalty and love for her husband despite being the embodiment of male fantasy. Maybe, as young girls, we were inspired to pay tribute to these characters. Maybe we also wanted to be strong like them. It takes courage to walk out in public in a costume. It takes even more courage to walk out in a revealing costume.
Additionally, consider this fact: Revealing costumes can be more difficult to fit! The less fabric you have on, the more fitted and well-sewn it needs to me, because there is no hiding flaws!
Lastly - GUESS WHAT?! You can have craftsmanship AND sexy all within the same costume!! Some of the sexiest costumes I have seen in my life required countless hours of hard work, meticulous details and a combination of various techniques. In fact, sexy and craftsmanship should go hand in hand, and I commend all the cosplayers out there who work hard on their sexy cosplays. I'm right there with ya!
If you want to dress as a character that looks nothing like you, go for it! There is so much judgement on race, gender, weight, size, height and other things that CAN NOT BE CHANGED in cosplay - it has never made sense to me. Just like anyone should be able to collect an action figure of their favorite character, or wear a T-shirt of their favorite superhero, anyone should be able to show their love for a character by cosplaying them. People get so wrapped up in how THEIR ideal real life version of a character should look like that they forget that they are talking about REAL HUMAN BEINGS. With feelings. I cosplay as tall Caucasian characters all the time. You should cosplay whatever character you want.
Lastly, I just want to reiterate one very important reminder for all of us. Cosplay should be about friends. Surround yourselves with like-minded people who will support you in your way of cosplaying, and who will join in with as much enthusiasm as you will. I value the friendships I have acquired through cosplay very much, and I have always viewed the life-long friends I have made through cosplay as one of the biggest rewards from this pass-time.
That's what is important, guys. Support your fellow cosplayers. Support your friends. Each of you may cosplay for different reasons, and have different focus, but we're all in this together, making and dressing up as fictional characters. In the end, it is all about having fun and being creative."

I bought this bag of lotus root just before Christmas, and I have no idea how long it lasts. I'd tried buying fresh lotus root, but around here I'd only found really beat up, bruised, shriveled ones, so I reckoned I'd try this. However, I'm wondering how long it keeps!
I've posted pictures of the front & back of the bag here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/mosaica/
Any ideas most welcome :-)
I don't see a sell by date, but they look ok. You will want to blanch them briefly after you've taken them out of the bag and drained them, before you use them in stir fries, salads etc. (FWIW they seem to be packaged for the Korean market, since all the explanation parts are in Korean, but they also say 'renkon' (Japanese for lotus root) on them in Japanese on the front, have the standard U.S. nutrition label, and are made in China! International lotus roots.:))
The Big Onigiri.
- Wherever you go, there you are. -
Thank you for helping me! They really do have an international provenance ;-)
On a semi-whim (I've actually had this idea knocking about in my brain for a while) I've made a flickr group for this kind of question, called Name That Food!
I've never heard of lotus root before. what does it taste like?

Anthropological Sciences / Biology 330
ANSC: Primatology
Prerequisite: BIOL 131 or ANSC 101 and ANSC 201
Cross-Listed: BIOL 330
Credit Hours: (3)
A survey of both living and past primates as unique members of the animal kingdom. It includes discussions of general primate characteristics, taxonomy of living primates, primate behavior and primate (including human) evolution.
Note(s): Students cannot receive credit for both ANTH 330 and ANSC 330.
Detailed Description of Content of Course
Humans belong to a unique, but highly diversified Order within the animal kingdom known as Primates. The biological and behavioral features all primates share in common as well as the variability in the expression of these features are the focus of this course. Students will not only examine biological and behavioral aspects of living primates but will trace the evolutionary development of these phenomena through a detailed consideration of primate fossil material. The ultimate goal of such a broad outline of study is to give students a better understanding of what it means to be a primate. A more detailed outline of the course is as follows:
1. A review of general features which distinguish primates from other mammals in the animal kingdom.
2. A taxonomic survey of all major groups of primates (Prosimians, New World Monkeys, Old World Monkeys, Apes, and Humans) in terms of their geographic dis- tribution, ecological habitat, dietary preferences, and postural (locomotor) adaptations.
3. A detailed comparison of humans to other primates (especially apes) in terms of anatomical and behavioral
similarities and differences.
4. Behavioral studies of primarily free-ranging primates.
5. Primate origins by reviewing the fossil evidence through 65 million years of prehistory.
Detailed Description of Conduct of Course
Lectures on primates will be supplemented by slides and hands-on manipulation of comparative skeletal material demonstrating primate anatomy. Primate behavior will be assessed not only by having students read numerous research articles (primary sources) on this subject but also by viewing films illustrating aspects of primate social behavior.
Goals and Objectives of the Course
1. Students will be given a better understanding of the origin, development, and variability of primates (including humans) as unique members of the animal kingdom.
2. Students will be encouraged to engage in an anthropological approach to the study of both living and past primates by focusing on such diverse topics as primate morphology, anatomy, evolutionary origins, and behavioral similarities and differences.
3. Students will be presented a broad but detailed survey of the Order Primates.
Assessment Measures
In addition to regular in-class examinations (both objective and essay form) on lecture topics, a research paper will also be required. This paper must explore some aspect of primate anatomy, adaptation, behavior, or evolutionary development.

Please Pause
My love…
Please pause to give a kiss, a hug,
As you head out for the day;
Whether leaving to go to work, run errands,
Or just to play.
Please pause and tell the ones you love,
"I do love you so."
And take the time to show it too,
So there's no doubt that they know.
Please pause to do the little things
That only cost you your time;
Take a stroll with your mate, help your neighbor,
Watch your child at that tree he can climb.
For we know not what may lie ahead
As we travel down life's road.
Today may be the day God say's,
"My child, it's your time to go."
Please pause to give a kiss, a hug,
And strive always to be kind;
For you never know, this moment may be
The last memory you leave behind.
My love…please pause.

Brick Oven Cooking
What's so special about the brick oven? In a word: everything.
Our signature brick ovens cook at an intense heat, locking in freshness and enhancing the natural flavors of everything from our pizza and pasta to our vegetables and seafood. They reach cooking temperatures of 675 degrees and the radiant flame from below the oven floor touches 1150 degrees.
At such high temperatures, cooking in the brick oven becomes a real art; one we've been perfecting for 35 years. Each oven is slightly different, so no two dishes cook exactly the same. Our brick oven chefs have years of experience learning the nuances of their brick oven to get each dish exactly right.
Cooking in the brick oven is divided into three lanes. Dishes are moved within the lanes depending how they cook. Pizzas, for example, start in the coolest part of the oven and are rotated closer to the flame upon completion. Many pizza cooks "dome" the pizza, holding it close to the circular ceiling of the oven to caramelize the cheese and other toppings.
At Bertucci's, our brick oven chefs are up bright and early every morning to light the fires and prepare our fresh vegetables for roasting. We roast our vegetables in small batches throughout the day. Our brick oven chefs are true artists, many with decades of brick oven cooking experience. Several of our brick oven chefs have even passed their craft down to the next generation in their family, and you will often find generations working side by side at the brick oven.
Next time you are in Bertucci's, spend a moment observing our cooks work the brick oven to perfection. Taste our signature pizzas, fresh roasted vegetables, or maybe a brick oven baked lasagna and you will know why there's a brick oven at the center of every Bertucci's.

Mythbusters Put Square Wheels on an F-250
Marcus Slater
It's pretty obvious to anyone with a eyes why a circle is a better shape for a wheel than a square… But, sometimes it's fun to do things that aren't entirely rational.
The Mythbusters seek to satisfy our curiosity of what wheels would be like in a world gone mad below. They fabricate and mount their own Mythbusters brand square rims on aged F-250 and take it out for a test drive. How does it handle? Hit the link to find out.

The grave of "The Ishřj Prince" has been dated to the Iron Age, i.e. AD 250-400, and it is considered by archaeologists to be one of the most important discoveries in Denmark in recent times. The grave is important on account of the very fine Roman gifts which were buried with the prince: large gold rings, an elegant Roman wine set in bronze, as well as a large number of gaming pieces made of glass. The finest gifts in the grave are two Roman glass beakers decorated with ships and dolphins.
The Late Roman Iron Age in Denmark is a period influenced by Roman culture. This is apparent from, among other things, the costumes, weapons and other artefacts. It was quite normal for there to be gifts in a person's tomb, and from these archaeologists can determine the rank of the dead individual in society. Only the elite were provided with Roman gifts in their tombs, so there is no doubt that this was an important man who was discovered in Torslunde.
Studies of the prince's skeleton have enabled archaeologists to determine exactly how he died: a star-shaped wound from an arrowhead in the crown of the head was one of the causes. The same can also be said of two five-centimetre-long lesions in the back of the skull, caused by sharp blades. Lesions from a thrust coming from below and striking the lower left leg show that the prince may have been on horseback and was thus probably killed in combat.
The exhibition consists of a display case showing the prince and his grave gifts, together with a video, part of which illustrates the prince's dramatic death. The exhibition is the result of a collaboration with Kroppedal Museum.

The most recent. example of this tendency was the verdict of a Berlin district court which in acquitting Dr. Heinrich Hirt- sicfer, one of the outstanding Catholic politicians of the pre-Nazi era; declared that "however opinions may differ con- -nlng personalities, the accused enloy the same rights before the law as any others." Dr. Hirtsiefer was minister of public welfare In Prussia. The.court's dcci.sion, handed down by Judge Hoepke, also criticized the Nazi press for antici¬ pating a verdict of guilty. Alinost at the same time that the court was defying Hitler by freeing one of his most noted political foes. Mayor Quirin WARSAW (WNS)—All differences between Jews and non-Jews have been temporarily forgotten as every clement of the population Is being mobilized to meet the catastrophic flood of the Vistula River, the greatest disaster in Poland's history. Thousands of men are working feverishly to strengthen the dikes in or der to prevent the raging waters from in^ undating Warsaw as they have already flooded the suburbs and scores of towns and cities in Western Galicia. Prelim¬ inary estimates set the property damage at $200,000,000 and the loss of life at UOO. Dozens of hamlets inhabited al¬ most exclusively by Jews have been com¬ pletely washed away and the Jewish com¬ munity is making heroic efforts to pro¬ vide for the tens of thousands of refugees who arc pouring into Warsavi; panic- stricken,, homeless and bankrupt.

LONDON (WNS)~Employment of non-Jewish labor in Jewish agricultural and industrial undertakings in all parts of Palestine is growing at an alarming rate, figures published in the July-Aug¬ ust issue of The New Judea, oflicial organ of the World Zionist Organization, re¬ veal. It is pointed out that while the total planted area of Jewish land in Pales¬ tine increased from 43,000 dunams in 1930 to M0,00O dunams today, the number of Jewish workers employed on the land is now only between 4,000 and 5,000, or less than it was three years ago, while Arab labor in the same area increased by many thousands. The New Judea declares that there are -,70,000 dunams In Petach-Tikvah, RLshon- iLe-ZIon, Ness-ZIona, Rehoboth, Ekron, IGedera and Benyamlna on which Jewish labor is almost unknown. According to the New Judea, Jewish labor is regularly employed only on 40,000 dunams in the Sharon, Pardess-Hanna, Vadl-RIsikt, Karkur and some parts of Judea and the Shomrom. Even in the Sharon, the New Judea asserts, "some greedy orange planters there are opening the door to non-Jewish labor just because it is much cheaper." A similar situation is developing in the cities, the New Judea notes. Tel Aviv h introclucirtg-hundreds of Arab workers into its transportation and building trades, factories arid workships. In Tel Aviv arid its-suburbs there are some 1,500 Arab workers employed. In Haifa 50f) Arabs, have. replaced Jewish workers, while in Jerusalem there are Jewish quarters that ;are completely shut to Jewish workers. Of 3,000 workers employed in the porta of Jaffe and Haifa only 200 are Jews. WARNING! A few months ago the Chron¬ icle notified the Jewish people of Columbus and Central Ohio of a racketeer who was soliciting so- called subscriptions or contribu¬ tions on behalf of The Brooklyn Examiner of N. Y. Most of the Jewish newspapers thruout the country have investigated these solicitations and found them fraudulent. A solicitor is back in this city again representing the above publication. His selling point is that the money you give him will go towards a fund to aid the stricken Jews of Germany. Don't l»Q^|pial«*d! Do not con¬ tribute before you investigate. In fact, notify the office of the Chronicle at once. Prosecution will face the gentleman from Brooklyn when caught.

Ldlserson Named Head of Railway Mediation Board WASHINGTON (WNS)-Dr. Wil liam Leiserson, until recently chairman of the Petroleum Policy Labor Board, has been named head of the newly created National Railway Mediation, Board in a cable message from President Roosevelt, who is on his way to Hawaii, Born In Esthonia 51 years ago, Dr, Leiserson is widely known as a labor expert. He was the expert on unemployment for the New York Commission on Employers' Liabil- , Ity and Unemployment from lOOf) to 1911 and served as assistant research director of the United States Commission on In¬ dustrial Relations from 1014 to 1915. Dr. Leiserson has also been professor of eco¬ nomics at Toledo University and Antioch College, chief of the division of labor ad¬ ministration in the Departnient of I-abor and chairman of the labor adjustment board of the clothing industry la Roches¬ ter. JERUSALEM (WNS)—The most sensational case in recent Jewish history came to a dramatic ending when the Palestine court of appeals acquitted Abra¬ ham Stavsky, youthful Zionist Revision¬ ist and Polish citizen, of the nmrder of Dr. Chaim Arlosoroff, who was mysterl ously :shot on June 16, 1933, thus revers ing the verdict of the trial court which had sentenced Stavsky to hang. The court of appeal's decision, a complete sur prise to almost everyone connected with the case, is being hailed with complete satisfaction by every element of Pales¬ tinian Jewry because it is expected that Stavsky's vindication will do much to end the internecine struggle In Zionism. Stavsky had become the symbol for strife and violence in Jewish Palestine and in the Diaspora between Revisionists and Laborites, the latter. maintaining that Stavsky was guilty and the former hold¬ ing that he was the victim of a frame-up. The decision of the court of appeals was unexpected Jiecause during the hearing on the appeal the judges had declined to hear testimony from new witnesses and re¬ fused, to admit iti evidence important docu¬ ments presented by Horace Samuel, Stavsky's counsel. The hearing on the appeal began July IG and continued for two days. The court of appeals con¬ sisted of Chief Justice Sir Michael F. J. MacDonald, and Justices Francis Horace Baker and Julian Mignon de Freitas. On the eve of tlie opening of the appeal the court refused to. accept an affidavit signed by Abdul Medjid, an Arab convict, con¬ fessing that he had murdered Arlosoroff, who was shot while walking on the Tel Aviv seashore with his wife. Medjid had previously admitted the murder, only to repudiate his confession.. Stavsky was orte of three Revisionists who went on trial for the murder,of April 23, the others being Zvi Rosenblatt and Aba Achimeir. The latter was acquitted on May IG for lack of evidence. On June 8 the trial court found Stavsky guilty and acquitted Rosenblatt for lack of evi¬ dence. The conviction of Stavsky pre¬ cipitated a world-wide controversy, split¬ ting Jewry into two camps. Max J. Kohler, Outstanding Historian and Commimal Leader, Dies NEW YORK (WNS)~Max James Kohler. American Jewry's outstanding historian and leading expert on immigra¬ tion problems and legislation, died sud¬ denly of a heart attack in the Adirondack mountains, where he had gone to spend his vacation. He was 03 years old. A lawyer of note, Kohler had devoted his entire life to Jewish commmial activity. He was the son of the late Dr. Kaufman Kohler, for 23 years president of the , Hebrew Union College, ami a grandson of David Einhorn, a pioneer of Reform Judaism. Born in Detroit, Kohler was educated, in New York, A generation ago he. was an assistant U, S. District At¬ torney. Kohler's scholarly and autliorltativc his- . torlcal studies on various phases of Amer¬ ican Jewish history, his voluminous and convincing briefs on immigration prob¬ lems and his lucid aiid practical advice on all phases of Jewish life made him one of the commanding figures of American Jewry, hut his modesty and retiring na¬ ture kept him from the limelight. He played a major role In the negotiations that led to the abrogation of the Russo- American Commercial Treaty in 1912, and was also instrumental in having the present Roosevelt administration modify the inmiigration regulations to facilitate the admittance of German refugees. . A bibliography of Kohler's writings would fill a hiige volume. He was a painstaking and prominent historian. He wrote scores of papers for the American Jewish Historical Society, of which, he was a vice-president. He served as hon- ora ry secret ary of the National Com- mltCfee on the Celebration of the 25bth . Anniversary of the Settlement of Jews . in America, member of the executive- committee of the Union of American He-| brew Congregations, chairman of the im¬ migration committee Of the American Jewish Committee and. vice-president of the Judeans. Kohler was also identified, with the Baron de Hirsch Fund and the National Conference of Jews and. Chris¬ tians. ¦ ''¦''..¦•¦ As a lawyer and a Jewish leader he frequently appeared before Congressional committees to plead for liberal.legislation, and his work in this respect is regarded, as being responsible for the modification of some of the more rigorous provisions^ of the quota laws. He also wrote ex^ tensively bn Jewish minority rights, on which he was an International authcfrity-, Nine years ago he received an honorary degree from the Hebrew Union College. As a communal leader he never hesitated to speak his mind at the risk of unpopu¬ larity. ' Several years ago he publicly de-. nounced the extravagant claims made in behalf of Haym Salomon and opposed plans to erect a monument in his honor. Yet it was Kohler who first unearthed much of the material deahng with Salo¬ mon. Kohler appeared in many promi¬ nent legal cases, and was the attorney for the late Nathan Straus.

I bought and opened two Rancors earlier this week. Well worth the $35 each.
It's a nice piece, but it's way huge, and not from the movies, so I'm thinking I may get more selective on that kinda stuff in the future.
^ Probably by using a $5.00 off coupon.
I love this damn beast.
but I just don't have the room for an army of Rancors.

Native Americans – A Reason for Thanksgiving
Some of us wore a construction paper Pilgrim hat. Others wore a paper feather on our head. So I've known since kindergarten that Indians were part of the First Thanksgiving.
What I didn't know was how much we should be giving thanks for them.
Today, with friends in dozens of tribes, I know what amazing people Native Americans are. With their warrior spirit, their deep spiritual nature, their ability to read a heart, I've tasted their generosity, enjoyed their sense of humor, admired their values of respect and courage. And I've grieved all that was taken from them . . . loved many as sons and daughters.
And learned what few Americans ever know – how much we owe them.
Like Squanto. The man the Plymouth Rock Pilgrims called "a special instrument, sent from God."
He'd been kidnapped as a boy, then taken to England where he learned both English and the Christian faith. With the help of a benevolent captain, he finally made it back home to Massachusetts. After that first awful Plymouth winter when half the Pilgrims died, he appeared one day to a party of Pilgrims.
To their utter amazement, he spoke their language and understood their faith. This "instrument sent from God" taught them how to fish, to fertilize and plant corn, to catch eels with their bare hands, to store food. And he became a bridge to his people. In short, he probably saved our forefathers' lives.
But Squanto was only the beginning. Oneida Indians helped Washington and his army survive at Valley Forge. Native warriors and scouts fought – and died – for the American cause. In the Revolutionary War and in every war America's fought since then. Percentage-wise, more than any other ethnic group in the nation.
In 1987, the U. S. Senate officially recognized that much of our democracy was actually modeled after the representative government of the Iroquois Confederacy. Some of their chiefs were even invited to the Continental Congress where the Declaration of Independence was ultimately signed.
In 2000, a new dollar was minted. The Sacagawea dollar. In honor of the incredible Indian young woman who provided incalculable help to the Lewis and Clark Expedition. When the size of our new country doubled in a day with the Louisiana Purchase, the expedition blazed the trail to the West. With a Shoshone teenager, baby on her back, guiding them, interpreting for them, negotiating for horses to cross the mountains, insuring a peaceful rather than hostile response from the tribes along the way. Is it any wonder that a lake, a mountain, a glacier, schools, even ships are named for her?
Yes, we are deeply indebted to the original Americans. Native Americans.
And for those of us who have been spiritually rescued by a brown-skinned Savior named Jesus, we have an even greater debt. To be sure Native Americans have the same chance to know Jesus that someone gave us.
That mandate is in the very DNA of America's beginnings. The first governor of Plymouth Colony, William Bradford, revealed what was in the hearts of those Pilgrims. "They cherished a great hope and inward zeal of laying good foundations . . . for the propagation and advance of the Gospel of the kingdom of Christ in the remote parts of the world." They wanted the people of this New World to know what Jesus did for the whole world.
The first missionary in America, John Eliot, came to reach Native Americans. The first Bible translation in America was for Indian people. The first missionary society in history was formed to help America's original people hear the Good News about Jesus.
But now, nearly four centuries later, only about 4% of Native Americans know Jesus. America's first mission field has become America's great mission failure. And our final mission frontier.
The grief of all that's been lost has fallen like an avalanche on this generation of young Native Americans. You can see it in suicide rates that are three to six times greater than the rest of America's young people. And alcohol, drug and sexual abuse far beyond anyone else's.
For me, those aren't just statistics. They are precious Native young people we know. We've loved. We've buried.
But out of this landscape of hopelessness, I've seen the face of hope for Native America. And it's not a white face. It's Native young people who once were the addicted, the suicidal, the violent. Who now go to reservation after reservation to spread the hope they've found.
That brown-skinned Savior – Jesus – who was from a tribe, from a land others had taken, who loved nature, lived poor and homeless, who died a violent death – sounds like a Native American.
As I've traveled with these On Eagles' Wings teams God has raised up, I've been an eyewitness to spiritual history. Thousands of Native Americans opening their lives to the Chief of all chiefs. Introduced to this Jesus by young Native warriors who are fighting for their people.
Standing with them, supporting them, praying for them has given me what many more of my Christian brothers and sisters need – a way to complete the circle. To help bring life to a people who helped give life to my people long ago.
For the coming of Jesus that first Christmas carried with it a promise for them and for us.
"The rising sun will come to us from heaven to shine on those living in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the path of peace." (Luke 1:78, 79)
God in heaven, may this be that time for the people You put here first.

The quarter of my tree that has proven easiest to follow through on paper trail is from my maternal grandmother, Margaret Jane Henderson (1899-1982), born in Amble. Perhaps this is because she was the one who knew most about her own ancestors so she gave me lots of good clues when I had to prepare a family tree at school when I was eleven.
In the composite picture of my 4 grandparents on the right hand panel of the blog she is at the bottom left.
Here is a snippet showing the first few generations. It is the only section of my tree where I can get to 4th great grandparents with no gaps, and as you can see from the little black arrows I can go even further on 9 lines.
If any of these couples belong to you to then please drop me a line as that means we are cousins.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (Sept. 8, 2012) – The ETSU volleyball team wrapped up the Hampton Inn Bama Bash with a pair of setbacks on Saturday evening as the Bucs fell to Lamar, 3-1 (23-25, 16-25, 25-10, 15-25), while being swept by the Crimson Tide (25-18, 25-20, 25-15) inside Foster Auditorium.
Prior to the tournament, ETSU entered play a perfect 5-0 on the neutral court, but after dropping three of the four matches in Tuscaloosa, the Bucs' overall record dipped to 8-5 on the campaign.
ETSU vs. Lamar Recap
Despite Megan Devine's (Kingsport, Tenn.) 15-kill, 11-dig effort, the Bucs couldn't rebound from a heartbreaking first set loss as Lamar went on to defeat the Blue and Gold in four on Saturday in Tuscaloosa.
Devine recorded her eighth double-double of the season, while Ivey Rice (Johnson City, Tenn.) added 12 kills, seven digs, and two service aces in the match. Sophomore middle blocker Meredith Hardy (Kingsport, Tenn.) hit .471 after finishing with eight kills on 17 swings.
The Bucs looked to be in control early on in the match as ETSU rallied from a three-point deficit to take a five-point lead, 16-11, courtesy of an 8-0 run midway through the set. Rice and Hardy ignited the surge as they combined for six kills – and despite the Cardinals pulling within two (19-17) – the Blue and Gold still looked to be in the driver's seat when a service ace from Kayla Williams (El Paso, Texas) made it a 22-17 score in favor of ETSU. However, following Lamar's final timeout of the set, the Cardinals scored five unanswered points courtesy of strong serving by Sierra Whittaker and pulled even at 22. Williams stopped the run when she recorded a kill on the next play, but Lamar finished the set with three straight points and took the wind out of the Buccaneer sails with the 25-23 victory. Devine had seven kills in the first set, while hitting .538 (7-13), but it was Lamar's .462 team attack percentage (14-2-26) which helped propel the Cardinals to the two-point win.
The second set was tight midway through as both teams tallied eight ties and two lead changes, but with things knotted at 13-all, Lamar finished the frame on a 12-3 run to take a 2-0 lead in the match. ETSU contributed to the Cardinal run by posting five errors, but it was a quick 6-0 spurt used by Lamar to take momentum when the set was tied at 13. Like Whittaker did in the opening stanza, Megan Schwartz followed suit in this set as she served during the run and compiled two service aces. After hitting .314 in the first set, ETSU finished with a .083 attack percentage in the second as the Bucs recorded nine kills on 36 attempts along with six errors.
ETSU answered in the third as the Bucs didn't record one attack error and hit .464 (13-0-28) en route to a 25-10 win. With the Blue and Gold leading 8-6 early on in the set, the Bucs broke things open with an 8-3 run and Lamar called a timeout when Devine's kill put ETSU up, 16-9. The stoppage of play never ended the Bucs' momentum as ETSU scored nine of the final 10 points to win the set by 15. Freshman Khadijah Wiley (Columbus, Ga.) played a big factor in the stanza as she had four of her six kills in the third set. In addition, the Bucs also didn't allow the Cardinals to record a block, while ETSU finished with three.
However, the Blue and Gold couldn't keep the positive energy flowing in the fourth as Lamar never trailed in the set and won, 25-15. A stretch of four straight errors (one service and three attack) following Rice's kill to pull within one doomed the Bucs, as the Cardinals extended their lead to five, 10-5, forcing ETSU to burn a timeout. Coming out of the break, Wiley stopped the run with a kill, but the Bucs were never able to get any closer than the four-point deficit.
Whittaker led Lamar (8-6) with 16 kills, while also adding seven digs and four service aces. Cortney Moore also finished with 15 kills on 25 swings and only committed two attack errors.
