Embedded in almost every culture and society are memories which make up an essential part of that society's traditions and worldview. These are passed on to the children early in life by their parents and community, and reinforced by the educational system throughout the children's formative years.
In many instances this is a positive means of fostering a cohesiveness that the society needs in order to maintain its unique identity. However, in some cases ancestral memory crystallises into a skewed perception of reality, enhancing a sense of isolation from the larger world through a perceived victimisation which can fester and become the source of potential future violence. Sometimes this pervasive sense of injustice harkens back to ancient battles fought and lost, or to longer running conditions of oppression by more powerful forces, expressing itself in a mixture of victimhood, unique and unparalleled suffering, and of a specialness that sets the members of that group apart from the larger humanity.
Today's world is witness to the dangers of this preservation and perpetuation of grievance in the form of tribal conflicts, ethnic wars and other unresolved, deep-seated conflicts based on mistrust and hatred. What is needed is a form of psychological rehabilitation for those who hold on to a sense of victimization, as well as for those cultures holding onto a sense of unquestioned dominance, through the instilling of a new world view based on the commonality of the one humanity and the nature of rebirth, which is fundamentally and most importantly a group experience.
The ageless wisdom perspective is that history is the depiction of returning groups of souls, brought together cyclically by an affinity of astrological and ray factors. On the subconscious level, this group affinity was studied in depth by Joseph Campbell whose probing of the mythological traditions of different cultures revealed the underlying common ground that is preserved in the shared myths and lore even of widely varying societies. On a more scientific level, this common ground is also being borne out. The effects of migration and the intermingling of races, which has been documented from earliest human history, have been accelerated over the past century. Through world wars which brought the invasion of "foreign elements" and caused the displacement of vast populations, as well as the contacts made possible by increased travel and global communications, any illusions about "racial purity" are rapidly falling away. New knowledge about DNA support this, validating the admixture of different races and ethnicities found in many individuals even though they may "self-identify" with one particular group or race.
A new mode of living hovers over humanity and is ready to materialise when selfishness is defeated, right human relations become the vision, and when the ideal of this new world is freed from all nationalism and group separativeness. It will be a world, based upon the recognition of equal educational opportunities for all peoples, races and nations, and upon the fundamental realisation that "God hath made of one blood all the peoples upon the earth." We could envision it as a world in which racial distinctions and national identities will be recognised as enriching the whole and as contributing to the significance of humanity. Such distinctions and nationalities will be preserved and cultured, not in a separative isolation, but in the realisation that the many aspects of human expression and differentiation produce one noble whole, and that all the parts of this whole are interdependent. According to Alice Bailey, "All will comprehend their relation to each other in one progressive, synthetic, human endeavour, and the enterprise of united living will produce an interior work which will flower forth in the production of a beauty and a richness which will distinguish humanity as a whole. In this all will share, with wisdom and a planned efficiency, offering to the planetary life and to each other that which they have to contribute. This will be made possible because the whole of mankind will be recognised as the essential unit and as being of greater spiritual importance than the part." (Externalisation of the Hierarchy pp.241-2)
With this understanding, a space is made possible for dominant cultures to acknowledge injustices commited so that forgiveness and acceptance of the past can take root. An ancient rule of the spiritual path decrees, "Let there be no recollection and yet let memory rule." When the emphasis of educational systems and of parental and communal values is placed on world history and on the contribution that all groups, all cultures, races and nations can make to the enrichment of the whole, the focus will shift from preserving the sense of past glory and/or injustice to the building of a future world, a world in which the value of each individual and group contribution is recognised as indispensable to the whole.

I've always found Jiddu Krishnamurti's work uplifting and free of cant. There are many, many books available. He spoke explicitly about being free from belief, yet made meditation central to his life.
[quote author="TomChicago"]I've always found Jiddu Krishnamurti's work uplifting and free of cant. There are many, many books available. He spoke explicitly about being free from belief, yet made meditation central to his life.
Thanks Tom! Definitely sounds like a good angle for me. I'll have a look.
This isn't a book, but a recent (short) writing, from a board I found. What do you think?
Divine Love emptied itself so it could penetrate the prison of our world. It came "to set the captive free, to give sight to the blind and hearing to the deaf".
How often we feel we are lacking love, or that we are not loved enough. That is we have lost our capacity to love. Love is not a commodity we can pass around. There is no subject or object relationship in love. Love is not dependant on two, three or a multitude. Love not does live in a divided world, of this and that, male and female. Love is the ending of all divisions, barriers. It is escape from the prison of self.
That is why God became man, so we could escape from the prison of self! So God became man, not to teach us love, or even to demonstrate love. Love cannot be taught, ot learnt, or even practised.
Love is the ending of self. It is the death of self. It is baptism, both water and fire. That baptism is total death, it is the second death, It is that Lake, that void, that emptiness, where all things in this world must go. Above all the beast of self the ego, and it's false prophet the carnal mind, and the false image it has made of God!
The moment you are consummed, when all the walls of self have totally collapsed. Jericho the city of the known the civilised city of religion, the secure then lies in ruins. Fear does not remain, only the freedom of the Land of milk and honey.The unknown yes, but it is FREE.
For too long we have wandered a desparate life in the security of the wilderness. There is no more secure prison than a wilderness. The security of solitary confinement, in the wilderness of our senses, that combat daily the howling wind of our wants, the sand that caters for our tactile reality, the harshness, the grinding friction that makes self so alive.
Jericho is the city that sits on the borderland. A city of seduction, yet it can give you the scarlet thread of escape. This fear, this need to protect self, yet this very fear that fears a world it does not know, is the very fear that established the known world it feels so comfortable with, such is it's irony. The walls of the city of mind, are a fortress to be destroyed, by that scarlet thread the mind of Christ. This thread of divine thought, destroys all the vain speculations of Chritianity's dogma.s and beliefs.
The True City is Jerusalem above, the free, our Mother. here there are no structures of division, neither male or female. No structures inherent in thought, memory and self, can survive here. there are no separate structures or dwellings here. Nor is even this here a location in space and time.
Love is the energy and expression of this City of Love.The energy of wholeness cannot be used, divided, or squandered. It is all of US, the All in All of all. Here all qusetions cease to arise, all answers fall away. It is the Silence of Love that shines so radiantly in this City. It can only be entered through the Gateway of Silence. They who enter it's gates have wholly dissappeared, they have left a world of individuality, of fragmentation. It is totaly empty of all separate forms, of names, places and streets, dwellings. It is utterly void of all things of this world, for it has no need of streets, of places of dwelling or work, as there are no separate individuals, neither male or female.
"Behold the Tabernacle of God is among men, and He shall dwell among them…...and they shall see His Face, and His name shall be upon them." Despite the apparent separation in "them" and "they" that is only a hangover from the past reading of these scriptures outside of the spirit of the word.
There is a tremendous energy of Love in this City, "the glory of God, has illumined it, and the lamp is the Lamb." There is enormous creativity flowing from this City, to all mankind, because it has no restrictions. The self as the centre of activity, has gone. Not lost but consumed by Divine Love. It is the benediction of this supreme Love, which has come to us in human form, is not out to transform the world around us, not the politicians, the business leaders, or the religious leaders, BUT YOU. The discovery within the virginal womb of our own existence, the Christ child. Yes virginal as it is not in others, but in YOU that the real story of God's Love is born and grows until it is All in All.

There is a series of small books written by Cheri Huber, which can be found on http://www.keepitsimple.org
These little books, simply written, sparked my interest in Zen about 12 years ago, and started me on the path. I have studied much about Zen since then, but I always come back to these wonderful books.

How Can We Start A Conversation?
We have two sides yelling at each other rather than talking to and with each other, it would seem. Partisan politics seem angrier and more polarized than ever.
Worse, both "sides" seem to live in entirely different realities altogether. If you're on one "side," two million people descended on Washington just one week ago, and if you're on the other you barely noticed when "the 60,000" people showed up in D.C. -an insignificant blip on the radar.
We live in such different realities because we don't trust each other. We don't trust each other because we suspect the motives on the other side. If the liberty faction in this country wants to make a difference it is going to have to address and refute the notion that we are angry birthers, racist rednecks, and paranoid survivalists.
Let's have a brainstorming session right here, right now on this comment thread. What can we do to foster trust, open the lines of communication, and get people on both sides of the aisle to really consider what we have to say?

This conflict is not "sides" or "trust" or "aisles". This is not about two college sports teams wearing different color jerseys.ReplyDelete
There will be lots of "words" but little "meaning" in the "conversation" until it is framed in terms of a battle between those who believe in "negative rights" and those who champion "positive rights".
The conversation might become meaninful after the broader philosophic war is understood as a fundamental conflict between people who want to be left free to produce and trade among themselves vs those who feel they are owed something by "others".
Short of that, it will remain a political "pissing contest".

Hans, like Daryl- I'm in total agreement that we need to bring the debate to the philosophical level and get people thinking about what we are as human beings and what role government plays in a civil human society.ReplyDelete
So unless anyone else has any objections or additions (which are most welcome and encouraged- this is a brainstorming session!), we can view that is the ultimate strategy.
What then, can we do on a tactical level to implement that strategy? How do we get people to consider these questions when they think you're just a partisan, right-wing hack?
- AnonymousSeptember 19, 2009 at 3:16 PM
You present a difficult challenge.ReplyDelete
I worked hard in the 1980's to establish the Libertarian party as a viable third party in North Carolina. We did not succeed in delivery of a message of Liberty that was compelling enough to displace the "sheeple" from their two-party mindset.
Last winter I built a PowerPoint slide show as a visual aid to place the political factions (from communists to anarcho-capitalists) relative to the Articles of Confederation and the US Constitution. These are on a backdrop of "0%" government through "100%" government. Again, very little engagement from average folks when I use it to explain why bipartisan cooperation and compromise always moves left and is detrimental to Liberty.
Now I'm working within a group of conservative activists, mostly "religious right" (and I'm not religious), who choose to invest their energy in political protest and Constitutional Town Hall meetings on current topics (healthcare, cap and trade, etc.). They are very successful in engagement and debate.
This group, and many others I observe, have difficulty in alignment with other potential allies in the war against the progressives.
Example: the Ron Paul folks hate Glenn Beck for "stealing the message. The religious folks distance themselves from the athiests. Neither of these want to associate with the Alex Jones followers.
Our first step toward success must be a well written vision of an "end-state" (pun intended) that each of our potential allies can embrace - despite their specific differences.
For me, the governmental end-state would be somewhere between the weak Federal government of the Articles of Confederation and the encroaching Nationalism established by our Constitution.
We have to simultaneously sell a philosophy of Individualism, once so dominant in our culture, that will displace the "fear of abandonment" or whatever psychosis drives weak people to embrace collectivism.
What say you about "tactics" as framing the discussion around the the appropriate role of government in context of a philosophy of individualsm (with or without reference to Rand)?

The whole point of this is for me to harvest all the brilliant thoughts from your brains!ReplyDelete
In all seriousness though, I am hesitant to throw my ideas out there at first so as not to influence the progression of thoughts. I don't want to miss out on any good ideas that wouldn't have occurred to me.
I'll definitely put in my two cents by tomorrow afternoon, I just want to give anyone else a chance to speak up first.
For instance, your idea of a desirable "end-state" that a broad coalition can agree to is excellent.
Touching on that matter is an important part of this too- the diverse and sometimes conflicting elements of the movement at large.
So in short- you first. Tactics?
- AnonymousSeptember 20, 2009 at 10:10 AM
Not sure I like your metaphor: my mind is a natural resource for you to "harvest". (chortle) Perhaps I'll "trade" some ideas with you toward our mutual self interest.ReplyDelete
For a start: become vocal about forcing our National government back "into the box" of the Constitution. Teach the limitation of government by enforcement of the "enumerated powers" and "Ninth / Tenth Amendments to all within our sphere of influence. Employ Glenn Beck's three directives: (1) boldly question everything about our current government, (2) cling to the truth, and (3) speak without fear.
Next: identify and promote candidates to the US House of Representatives who support a strict constructionist view of the Constitution and reduce our national government by control and reduction of the national budget. Toward this end participate in the candidate selection activities of "Get Out Of Our House" (http://goooh.com/home.aspx) and "Independence Caucus" (http://www.ourcaucus.com/).
Finally: begin a dialog toward the reformation of our Constitution to remove compromises and ambiguities. For an example of where to begin here, I refer you to Edward Cline at Rule of Reason (http://ruleofreason.blogspot.com/2009/09/perilous-ambiguities-in-constitution.htm).
Be cautious of attempts to form a "constitutional convention" as this would be potentially dangerous to Liberty. Progressives have advocated the replacement of US government with a "new world order". A con-con could give them an opportunity to replace our current Constitution with something far worse.
We should also go back and update our Declaration of Independence to address pending secession from an increasingly fascist National government. The substantive change here would be replacement of the phrase "pursuit of happiness" with the original common law "right to property" and the re-establishment of allodial title (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allodial_title).
Enough for now… your turn.

A conversation requires engagement by more than one sentient entity.ReplyDelete
Game over.
Raleigh, NC
Sorry for my late reply. I've been holding out for a while to see if anyone else has anything to offer, but alas!ReplyDelete
As for your list of tactics: Lol, right! No "harvesting" -I promise. Thanks for your participation in a mutually voluntary exchange of ideas for mutual benefit.
I think you are on the right track with a lot of those tactics. Identifying and promoting the candidacies of Constitutionalists, as you suggest, is a major part of the battle. It will help return credibility to those who advocate for limited government rather than simply pay it lip service.
As for the tactics I espouse- they mostly involve meeting "social democrats" on their own terms and finding areas of mutual agreement.
For instance, they are opposed in principle to policies which favor the wealthy at the expense of the poor. Why then the support for all of Obama's major initiatives, which are unambiguous examples of corporate welfare and special interest legislation?
If we can help them to see the inconsistency, we can move them in the direction of opposing policies that threaten liberty while also helping them to understand a thing or two about liberty itself.
By doing it this way, we remove any preconceived notions and unjustified suspicion by helping them to see it in terms of their own framework and its focus on "social justice" or "social equality."
- AnonymousSeptember 22, 2009 at 7:43 AM
I applaud your courage to 'meet them on their own terms'.ReplyDelete
However, you introduce a logical contradiction in your attempt to explain or sell Liberty with an appeal to the progressive belief in social justice or social equality.
Proceed with extreme caution...
Raleigh, NC
Agreed! Caution and clarity are paramount.ReplyDelete
At the same time, I would say that rather than introducing a contradiction, I would be pointing out to social democrats an internal contradiction of their own.
Hopefully in the process of resolving it, we "on the right" can help them to see and understand the philosophy of liberty. Another tactic- on that note- that we need to use is to introduce many people "on the right" to the philosophy of liberty.

A team of firefighters and Cassano took on New York's Finest and Commissioner Ray Kelly in an annual baseball game. The NYPD ended up beating the Fire Department 3-0 in the 12th annual meeting. The departments play every year to raise money for charities, including the New York Fire and Police Widow's and Children's Benefit Fund.
The night before at Citi Field, Cassano joined some of the Fire Department's team for a round of batting practice. The commissioner started off slowly, bunting before he took full swings in an attempt to regain the stroke he honed playing sandlot baseball on Staten Island as a youth.
In February, Cassano invited members of the New York Mets to the Fire Department Academy on Randall's Island for some instruction on how to fight a fire. The players were fitted with firefighting gear and proceeded to go into a simulated inferno to put out a blaze.

Columnist Mike Parker urges drivers to engage in better school bus safety.
Let�s begin with a quiz.
What stands between 9.5 to 11 feet tall, is 8 feet wide, and measures roughly 40 feet long?
What is bright yellow, has flashing red and amber lights, an extending arm that says, �STOP,� and a crossing arm?
The answer to both questions is simple � a school bus.
Yet, on Wednesday, Dec. 5, a car hit an 8-year-old crossing the street to meet his bus in Graham, N.C. The boy, a student at Haw River Elementary, survived even though he flipped all the way over the car: hood, roof and trunk. The kid jumped up and began talking almost as soon as he had hit the pavement, officers said.
The school bus had been stopped, the stop arm extended, with lights flashing, reports said.
Another accident took place on Dec. 5 when a crash involving an auto and a school bus took place in Washington. None of the students on the bus were hurt, but paramedics took the driver to the hospital, according to reports.
A day later, in Winston-Salem, a pick-up truck crashed into a school bus heading to Northwest Middle School. The driver hit his brakes, but his truck spun, and the truck bed struck the side of the bus.
The bus was stopped, stop-arm extended and lights flashing.
On Thursday, Dec. 13, a bus from C.C. Wright Elementary School in Wilkesboro, stopped in the eastbound lane � lights flashing, stop sign out, crossing arm down. A 5-year-old girl stepped off and began to cross the road toward home. An oncoming car hit her. She landed on the shoulder of the road with multiple fractures and possible internal injuries.
On Wednesday, Dec. 19, just before 7 a.m., a car struck high school student in Fuquay-Varina as he crossed the Judd Parkway to get on his bus. The bus�s amber lights were flashing to signal it was stopping, police said. They charged the 31-year-old man driving the car with failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident. The 17-year-old student was taken to WakeMed Hospital, but his injuries were not life-threatening.
At almost the same time, near Kernersville, on the day before school let out for Christmas, a school bus stopped at 6:46 a.m. The bus driver had turned the flashing lights on and extended the stop-arm.
An 11-year-old boy was crossing Old Hollow Road. He had missed the bus earlier, but the route the bus took meant the bus had to turn around and pass the boy�s home again. Coming by a second time, the bus stopped to let the youngster on.
A Jeep SUV heading in the other direction hit the sixth-grader. His mother, who had been getting ready to drive him to school, heard the impact. His mom, a nurse, ran to the road and tried to revive her child. She said in a news report she tried to breathe into him twice but could not get an airway.
He died later that morning at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center.
In almost every case, reports show the driver who collided with the bus said the same thing:
�I didn�t see the bus.�
The driver did not see 76 square feet of yellow and flashing lights? The driver did not see an extended arm with a huge �STOP� written in white on a red background. What could account for such blindness? In the case of the little dead 11-year-old, a state trooper suggested that the sun was perhaps in the driver�s eyes.
I have a different postulation: These drivers allowed themselves to be distracted. I wonder how many cell phone records would show these drivers were receiving or sending texts just moments prior to � or during � the accident.
I have grandchildren who climb aboard buses every day.
Please do not drive distracted.
The life you spare may belong to one of my grandkids.

Inventory #26-14/06-1. Tumacacori is the first mission built in the Arizona territory. This image was captured during winter when the mesquite had no leaves, leaving all of the building to show through the tree. I also have this image in Black and White. Both are available from the artist in various sizes and in various formats.
A photographer since the age of 8 when I received my first camera as a gift from my grandmother, I learned the art of photography by studying such current great artists as George Lepp, Dewitt Jones and Art Wolfe. My inspiration is God's beautiful creation, and I attempt to record it faithfully, shooting landscapes, flowers, animals, and anything that captures my fancy. I shot film until 2012 when I purchased my first pro digital camera. Now I do both, and do all of the creation in the camera before the snap. If the image isn't good enough to print as taken, it is discarded instead of being "improved" through Photoshop. I have my own darkroom and love making my own prints from negatives. One of my favorite techniques is to hand paint...

RATIONALE: Measuring how text-message affects treatment compliance in women with breast cancer may help doctors plan the best treatment.
PURPOSE: This randomized trial studies how well text-message works in reducing early discontinuation of aromatase inhibitor therapy in patients with early-stage breast cancer who underwent breast surgery.
|Condition or disease
|Breast Cancer
|Behavioral: Text message reminder
|Not Applicable
- To determine the efficacy of a reminder message, sent by text message to mobile phones twice weekly, to improve adherence to adjuvant aromatase inhibitor (AI) therapy as determined by urinary AI levels in women with early-stage hormone-sensitive breast cancer versus usual care.
- To compare the effect of a reminder message sent twice weekly to mobile phones as compared to usual care to improve adherence to adjuvant AI therapy according to self-report.
- To explore the efficacy of the text message intervention for reducing early discontinuation as compared to usual care at 12, 24, and 36 months of adjuvant AI therapy in subgroups of breast cancer patients as defined by age group, stage, year of therapy, education, race/ethnicity, teaching hospital versus community hospital, AI-related side effects (as determined by serial questionnaires), insurance status, and prescription co-pay status.
- To explore the reasons for early discontinuation of AI therapy in those who do discontinue in the intervention and control group by querying quality of life as assessed by the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Endocrine Subscales (FACT-ES) and symptoms and other issues related to hormonal therapy at each follow-up visit, using the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI-SF), and at annual visits the Beliefs about Medicine Questionnaire (BQM) and the Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire for Medication (TSQM).
- To conduct a sensitivity analysis assessing time to last evidence of adherence.
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to length of time on aromatase inhibitor (AI) (< 12 months vs 12-24 months), and type of AI (anastrozole vs letrozole vs exemestane). Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 intervention arms.
- Arm I: Patients undergo a text message education checklist involving confirmation of cellular telephone capability to receive text messages, how to retrieve and read messages, including a confirmation evaluation, at baseline and at any time a patient obtains a new cellular telephone. Patients then receive a text message twice a week at 8 o'clock in the morning (for each time zone) for up to 3 years.
- Arm II: Patients receive standard follow-up care. Patients undergo urine sample collection at baseline and periodically during study for aromatase inhibitor level analysis and future translational studies.
Patients complete the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Endocrine Subscales (FACT-ES), the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI-SF), Beliefs about Medicine Questionnaire (BQM), and the Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire for Medication (TSQM) questionnaires at baseline and periodically during study. Patients in arm I also complete the Cell Phone and Text Messaging Use Questionnaire at baseline and periodically during study.
In both arms, patients are followed up every 3 months for up to 3 years from registration.

Water demand in the Colorado River Basin will greatly outstrip supply in coming decades as a result of drought, climate change and population growth, according to a broad-ranging federal study.
It projects that by 2060, river supplies will fall short of demand by about 3.2 million acre-feet — more than five times the amount of water annually consumed by Los Angeles.
"This study should serve as a call to action," U.S. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said Wednesday as he released a report that predicted a drier future for the seven states that depend on the Colorado for irrigation and drinking supplies. "We can plan for this together."
The analysis lists a range of proposed solutions, including some that Interior officials immediately dismissed as politically or technically infeasible. Among them: building a pipeline to import water from the Missouri or Mississippi rivers and towing icebergs to Southern California.

It will look like the Titanic in every way except one - it won't be at the bottom of the Atlantic.
Speaking at a news conference in New York this week, Australian mining tycoon Clive Palmer announced his plan to launch a full scale copy of the ill fated Titanic and sail her across the Atlantic. To do so would be a tribute to those who built the original ship in Belfast he said.
'We will complete the journey. We will sail into New York on the ship they designed,' Palmer said aboard the Intrepid aircraft carrier that is now a floating museum in the city.
According to The Guardian, Palmer refused to be drawn on whether his new boat would be 'unsinkable' the fateful and entirely inaccurate term that the backers of the original Titanic famously used.
'Anything will sink if you put a hole in it,' Palmer admitted, adding that due to global warming the risks of icebergs has diminished considerably. 'There are not so many icebergs in the North Atlantic these days,' he said.
Markku Kanerva, the main designer of the new ship, struck a more cautious note. 'I can assure you, from the safety point of view, it will be absolutely the most safe cruise ship in the world when it is launched,' he said.
Titanic II, as they are calling it, is an almost exact to scale copy of the original ship, which sank on her maiden voyage from Southampton to New York in 1912 after hitting an iceberg. That means its famous silhouette will be all but indistinguishable from the original ship, complete with the four rear-slanted funnels.
Titanic II is scheduled to launch in 2016 and will follow almost the same route from Europe to America. Before it's even launched the maiden voyage has caught the imagination of tens of thousands. Already 40,000 applications have been submitted to be part of an attempt to rewrite the past with a happier ending.
Journalists in New York were shown a dramatic video presentation of the Titanic II, which featured guests aboard the doppelgänger ship dressed in high Edwardian splendor (Palmer said that guests aboard the new ship would have the option of wearing period costume).
Attentive to the sensitivities of the offspring of Titanic survivors, Palmer invited a descendant of a Titanic survivor to endorse the project.
Helen Benziger is a granddaughter of Molly Brown, a socialite who became famous for persuading a lifeboat to turn around and search for survivors. She heartily backed the new venture. 'Bringing this ship back? I don't know the words,' she said. 'It is a chance to go back in time.'
Titanic II will reportedly have a crew of 900 looking after some 2,435 passengers. Just like the original Titanic the new craft will boast a Turkish Baths, a smoking room, a grand staircase and a gymnasium.
It is even split into three different classes, from steerage to first class. Palmer said the guests would be segregated by class just like on the original Titanic, though he claimed he wanted to make the journey in steerage himself because – referencing James Cameron's disaster movie Titanic – that was where the fun people would be travelling. 'I will be in third class. I will enjoy it,' he claimed.
Unlike the original, Titanic II will also reportedly feature a modern hospital, a helicopter landing pad, full air-conditioning and access to high-speed internet. Also, unlike the first ship, it has more than enough lifeboats and evacuation equipment for all passengers and crew should the unthinkable happen and history repeat itself.
In another major departure the Titanic II is being built, not in the Belfast shipyards but in the Jinling shipyard in China.
Meanwhile Palmer said that there was huge demand for tickets on the Titanic II's maiden voyage. More than a dozen eager customers have offered to pay up to a million dollars to snag a first class cabin, Palmer said.
Palmer was reluctant to reveal the details of the cost of building the ship, but he admitted he has sunk part of his own fortune into it.
'I've got enough money to pay for it,' he said when asked if he needed to borrow to raise funds. 'Cost is not what it is all about.'

Lost States. Read on for more about the lost state of Nickajack.
The epicenter of this anti-secession sentiment was Winston County, Alabama. On July 4th, 1861, 2,500 people gathered there to declare their neutrality. The "Free State of Winston" was born.
Winston soon became a haven for anti-war types—sort of a Berkeley for the Civil War era.
Of course, the Confederates weren't too happy about this, and regularly staged raids into Winston County to gather up unwilling conscripts. Winston's draft-dodgers didn't flee to the North, they just hid—and Winston County had lots of valleys and hollows to hide in. Some men got caught and ended up fighting for the Confederacy; others joined the Union Army; and some just kept hiding. For all we know, they may still be squirreling themselves away in the backwoods of Winston County. Winston wasn't alone. People of the surrounding counties had much the same sentiment. And all of eastern Tennessee voted against secession—as did the people of northwest Georgia.
A plan was formulated to connect these disaffected southerners and create a neutral state—called Nickajack. No official map of Nickajack was ever made... my map is an approximation. For more, get Lost States.

The Football Association has come under fire and been accused of being "institutionally racist" after the Metropolitan Police dropped its investigation into the affair. The accusations against the FA have come from Peter Herbert, chair of the Society of Black Lawyers (SBL), who is disappointed neither the governing body nor Chelsea reported the claims against Clattenburg to the police.
Professional Footballers' Association chairman Carlisle said: "He [Peter Herbert] made his report to the police off the back of information he received from the Daily Mail and I have greater faith in Chelsea and the FA acting accordingly with their first-hand evidence and witnesses, and the case being dealt with correctly - as it should be in the current climate - rather than with a third or fourth party observing from the outside."
He added: "I wouldn't want to comment on what is going on without the full facts and evidence and I think it is ill-advised for Mr Herbert to do so and make accusations of collusions and cover-ups without us having drawn to any conclusion in this yet. I think it is unwelcome."
Chelsea allege that referee Clattenburg used inappropriate language towards their midfielder John Obi Mikel during the Barclays Premier League game against Manchester United at Stamford Bridge on October 28.
It is understood the term allegedly used by the 37-year-old official used could be interpreted as racist. The FA are expected to announce the findings of their investigation in the coming days.
But Herbert said in a statement: "It would appear that there is a cosy little agreement between Chelsea FC and the FA not to report these matters to the Metropolitan Police but to have them dealt with solely by the FA."
When questioned about the subject by Sky Sports News, Herbert said of the FA: "Institutionally racist? Of course it is. They don't even implement what the Stephen Lawrence inquiry (MacPherson Report) recommendations were about how to report a racial incident, whether the victim or any other person believes it is."
FA chairman David Bernstein issued a statement hitting back at Herbert's claims.
He said: "These ill-informed and unhelpful remarks are at odds with the progressive and responsible approach being followed by the game with the support of Government to deal with these serious issues. The FA will continue working to strengthen processes to eradicate all forms of discrimination in football."

Ambulances rushed one teacher and 14 students Thursday afternoon from Camp Avenue School in North Merrick to Nassau University Medical Center in East Meadow due to possible carbon monoxide poisoning. All 15 were evaluated at the hospital and released, according to NUMC spokeswoman Shelly Lotenberg.
North Merrick Superintendent David Feller said some of the children in the sixth-grade class of teacher Katherine Pascarella complained of nausea. He said the school nurse evaluated the children and school officials called 911 as a precaution.
"It looks as if all the children are fine," Feller said. "Really we called 911 as a precaution. We wanted to make sure that the children, if they needed any medical attention, received it right away. We also sent out an emergency telephone message to all of our parents to let them know what we were doing."
The school building was temporarily evacuated, Feller said. North Merrick Fire Department members checked the school for carbon monoxide and found none, according to Feller and James Rogers, the department's first assistant chief. School officials then permitted children and staff to re-enter the building, Feller said.
There were at least six ambulances, six police cars, two fire trucks, one fire chief's car and one Nassau County Hazardous Materials vehicle outside Camp Avenue School at about 2:30 p.m. In addition to the North Merrick Fire Department and the Nassau County Police Department, the Merrick Fire Department, North Bellmore Fire Department, Bellmore Fire Department, Freeport Fire Department and Bellmore-Merrick Emergency Medical Services responded to the scene.
A cluster of parents stood by the side of the building, waiting to see their children. Dozens of emergency responders descended on the front of Camp Avenue School, including a few who carried a child with an oxygen mask over his face on a stretcher down the front steps of the school. Police blocked off traffic at the intersection of Merrick Avenue and Camp Avenue and the intersection of Merrick Avenue and Little Whaleneck Avenue.

Cops Say Don't Travel When Advised Not To
Local law enforcement officials encourage motorists to stay off roadways during no travel advisories and to travel safely during travel alerts. Law enforcement agencies responded to numerous accidents Monday during blizzard-like conditions.
Bryan Niewind, captain for the North Dakota Highway Patrol southeast region, said the NDHP and North Dakota Department of Transportation has a three-prong approach when it comes to notifying the public of dangerous conditions and they don't take travel advisories lightly.
Monday, a no travel advisory was issued in the Valley City and surrounding areas due to blowing snow causing near zero visibility. The advisory was issued at the same time Interstate 94 was closed from Valley City to Jamestown due to a traffic incident.
"Yesterday (Monday), we probably had 15 crashes and 40 to 50 vehicles in the ditch, so then we had to respond to them in no visibility conditions," Niewind said, adding that when motorists do travel during no travel advisories, "number one they're putting themselves in danger, then if they do get into a crash, they put those who have to respond in danger."
Niewind said when motorists crash or enter the ditch, the NDHP and other responders help individuals by getting them to safety and often "get a wrecker to come out and remove the cars if they present a travel hazard."
"It does become a hazard, because on a wrecker, no matter how many lights are on there, (during limited visibility), you're not going to see them until they're right there."
Barnes County Sheriff Randy McClaflin said, "Anytime there's an accident, not only do the people involved get hurt, but there's a possibility that the responders, ambulance crew, fire department and law enforcement get hurt too. That's why it's important to stay off the roads (during no travel advisories) for your own safety and for everyone else's."
The Barnes County Sheriff's Department often assists the NDHP with accidents, including those that occurred Monday.
"We worked together, helped each other with traffic control," McClaflin said. "You just need as many lights out there as you can get."
Valley City Police Chief Fred Thompson said, "If (law enforcement) says, 'stay off the roadway,' it's probably in your best interest to do so.
Certainly in those types of situations, we're busy with all kinds of emergencies that are happening because of the weather, so anyone that is out there driving around could easily become part of the problem instead of the solution."
A travel advisory, Niewind said, means motorists can still travel but "give yourself enough time to get to where you need to go." A no travel advisory means that motorists should not be traveling due to
unsafe conditions, including limited visibility and drifting snow.
"When we issue (a no travel advisory), the DOT is probably in the process of pulling their plows, so roadways are going to continue to deteriorate after they pull plows," Niewind said.
The third step the NDDOT and NDHP make during inclement weather is closing roads. Like Monday, roadways can be closed due to a traffic crash or incident or when roads become so deteriorated that they become impassable because of the weather conditions.
The agencies release information to the media constantly during inclement weather and poor travel conditions.
McClaflin said the county issues travel advisories when necessary but does not block roads.
"We can advise no travel, but we don't have the means to go out and block the roads," he said. "We just advise no travel in the county, and people have to make their own decisions from there."
The sheriff's department bases travel alerts on visibility as well as the ice, snow and wind. "Visibility is the big thing," the sheriff said. "If you can't see, you're going to go into the ditch."
Thompson said he asked Valley City residents not to travel Monday as roads became slick.
"We want to keep the roads clear so the plows can do their work. (Drivers) will appreciate it in the morning when they get up and the roads are plowed," he said.

Lohse, Brewers beat Cardinals 6-3
Submitted: 08/20/2013
- Kyle Lohse beat the Cardinals for the first time this season and Sean Halton knocked in a career-high three runs to help the Milwaukee Brewers beat St. Louis 6-3 Tuesday night. Lohse (9-8) beat the Cardinals in his fourth try this season and improved to 3-5 in nine outings overall against his former team. Lohse left after six innings with the Brewers leading 6-3. He struck out four, walked two and allowed six hits and three runs, two coming on Yadier Molina's two-run homer in the fourth. Molina doubled and scored in the second on Matt Adams' single. After John Axford and Brandon Kintzler each pitched a scoreless inning, and Jim Henderson pitched the ninth for his 19th save in 22 chances. Lance Lynn (13-7) got roughed up in the Brewers' five-run fourth, highlighted by Halton's two-run single with the bases loaded.

Euro2012 has come and gone. That sigh of relief is the sound of Deb reclaiming the TV remote and banning me from watching any more sport for the rest of the summer.
Spain have confirmed themselves as one of the great teams in history by winning yet again.
It has been said that they are boring. As far as I can see, the only boring thing about them is their predictability in not letting anyone else win.
By that measure, England are pretty boring as well although, if you wanted to be a bit more positive, you'd say consistent. How much of a lottery can penalties be when you lose all the time ?
I'm not even going to pretend that the above ramble connects in any way to the subject of today's wander through the wacky world of ANSI SQL…although you may notice that I've taken inspiration from recent events for some of the examples.
When Oracle first came out, there was no ANSI standard SQL. There weren't any other relational database on the market.
As a result, there are various programming constructs that are still a bit non-standard.
Yes, Oracle has introduced the ANSI standard equivalents over time and insisted that both the proprietary and ANSI syntax work in exactly the same way. This is true. For the most part.
I have already noted the advantage of ANSI join syntax when using more than one outer join.
Here, however, I'm going to turn my attention to a useful little feature of the CASE statement. Continue reading

virt-viewer (lightweight graphical display for libvirt VMs)
The "Virtual Machine Viewer" application (virt-viewer for short)
is a lightweight interface for interacting with the graphical
display of a libvirt guest OS. It is intended as a replacement for
the traditional vncviewer client, since the latter does not support
SSL/TLS encryption of x509 certificate authentication.
This software requires gtk-vnc, and optionally, spice. If built
without libvirt (>= 0.9.7), this package will only contain the
remote-viewer client, a simple VNC/SPICE viewer.

CRESTVIEW � Eighth-graders Abbey Young and Marissa Flaherty, both 13, say they're ready to take the courses necessary to get into college.
CRESTVIEW � Eighth-graders Abbey Young and Marissa Flaherty, both 13, say they're ready to take the courses necessary to get into college.
That means aiming high, according to The College Board's Bryan Barnes, guest speaker of Tuesday's higher education preparedness seminar at Crestview High School. College-bound students should take advanced placement courses, he said.
"Put yourself in a challenging position," Barnes said. "You should put yourself in the highest level (course) without being overwhelmed."
High school students are 61 percent more likely to be accepted into college by enrolling in at least two AP high school courses, he said.
CHS assistant principal Dexter Day believes it, based on his daughter's college interview.
"One of the first things they asked her is what college-level courses have you taken during high school," he said.
Abbey, Marissa and their parents were among 162 attendees of the Okaloosa County School District's seminar. Several of CHS's AP instructors and students were available to answer questions following the presentation.
The information left an impression, the girls said.
"Knowing that people are there for you and want you to be successful in life � it makes me feel a lot better," Abbey said. "It makes me feel like I should go to college and be successful."
Marissa said she is up to the task of taking several AP courses. She even got a preview of what to expect.
"I actually got to meet my AP biology teacher for next year," she said.

The Jeremy Bentham Cabinet
University College, London
In his will of 1832, Jeremy Bentham directed his friend Dr Southwood Smith to take charge of his body and have his skeleton "put together in such a manner as that the whole figure may be seated in a chair usually occupied by me when living, in the attitude in which I am sitting when engaged in thought in the course of time employed in writing." The skeleton, padded out with straw and cloth and clad in his own clothes, with a wax head, was placed in a cabinet and later given to University College. It was first housed in the anatomical museum there, and eventually put on display in the South Cloisters. At first, Bentham's mummified head was kept at his feet, but it was later removed for safekeeping. On one occasion it was kidnapped by King's College students; a small sum was paid to charity to secure its return.

AFB Names Kathleen Mary Huebner, Ph.D. and George Kerscher, Ph.D. 2012 Migel Medal Recipients
New York (December 6, 2011)—The American Foundation for the Blind (AFB) today announced the 2012 winners of the Migel Medals, the highest honor in the blindness field. The 2012 recipients are George Kerscher, Ph.D. and Kathleen Mary Huebner, Ph.D.
"It is an honor to present these medals to George and Kathleen for their outstanding achievements in the blindness and low vision field," said Carl R. Augusto, AFB president and CEO. "In dedicating their professional lives to ensuring that people with vision loss can live healthy and independent lives, the 2012 Migel Medal awardees are truly worthy of this special recognition."
The AFB Migel Medal was established in 1937 by the late M.C. Migel, AFB's first chairman, to honor professionals and volunteers whose dedication and achievements improve the lives of people who are blind or visually impaired.
About the Awardees
Kathleen Mary Huebner, Ph.D. has not only united the blindness professional training field at the leadership level, but has invited every major national organization of and for the blind to work together to ensure the success of up-and-coming professionals in the blindness field.
Dr. Huebner most recently served as Associate Dean and Professor of the College of Education and Rehabilitation, and Co-Director, National Center for Leadership in Visual Impairment, Salus University, Elkins Park, Pennsylvania. Presently she serves as Professor and Director of the National Consortium for Leadership in Sensory Disabilities, for the College of Education and Rehabilitation at Salus University. Along with her numerous publications and presentations, Dr. Huebner continues to teach at the in-service and pre-service levels.
Paramount in Dr. Huebner's accomplishments was the creation of the National Center for Leadership in Visual Impairment and National Consortium for Leadership in Sensory Disabilities, both funded by the U. S. Department of Education, Office of Special Education Programs. These programs have and continue to increase the number of doctoral candidates and directly addressed the need for more professionals and leaders in the field of blindness and visual impairment. Dr. Huebner's creativity and political prowess in bringing together all universities offering doctoral study in blindness and visual impairment and deaf-blindness programs has allowed for better national coordination, enrichment activities and contacts for our future leaders.
George Kerscher, Ph.D. is an internationally recognized accessibility expert. He believes properly designed information systems can make all information accessible to all people and is working to push evolving technologies in this direction.
Most significantly, Dr. Kerscher is the "driver" of efforts to standardize accessible digital books. His work contributed greatly to the establishment of the DAISY (Digital Accessible Information System) standards, which has been adopted worldwide as the standard for accessible books.
Dr. Kerscher has been dedicated to providing equal access to information throughout his career. He established Computerized Books for the Blind in the 1980s; was recruited to direct the research program of Recording for the Blind & Dyslexic (RFB&D), subsequently merging his company with RFB&D (now Learning Ally); and is currently both Secretary General of the DAISY Consortium and President of the International Digital Publishing Forum.
The Migel Medals will be presented to the recipients at the 2012 AFB National Leadership Conference at St. Petersburg Beach, Florida, in early May.
About AFB
The American Foundation for the Blind (AFB) is a national nonprofit that expands possibilities for people with vision loss. AFB's priorities include broadening access to technology; elevating the quality of information and tools for the professionals who serve people with vision loss; and promoting independent and healthy living for people with vision loss by providing them and their families with relevant and timely resources. Headquartered in New York, AFB is proud to house the Helen Keller Archives and honor the more than 40 years that Helen Keller worked tirelessly with AFB.

Baltimore, MD 21201
Finding aid created by Katherine Cowan with funding from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, October 1999
Isaac Coriell (d. 1882) was a contractor, and Alvin Coriell (d. 1904) was a lumber merchant. Alvin married Mary Lawrence Coriell, and one of their sons was Dr. Louis Duncan Coriell (1878-1953), a dentist. In the 1860s, Isaac and Alvin both lived at 631 W. Lombard St.
Lewis M. Bower was a butcher listed at the same address as the Coriells in 1865. He married Mary Ellen Coriell in 1862, and they later moved to a home at 494 Saratoga St., while Bower did business at 40 Centre St. and at the Lexington and Hanover Markets. After Lewis died in ca. 1882, Mary Ellen Coriell Bower moved to 49 N. Poppleton St., and worked as a dressmaker.
Katherine Coriell (1875-1936) married George E. Hardy (1868-1931), George E. Hardy, Jr. (d. 1980) was their son, and their daughters were Katherine, Mary, and Clare. At different times, the family lived in the Mt. Vernon area and in Roland Park. The elder George E. Hardy was a prominent dentist and medical professor who came to Baltimore from Lunenberg Co., Va. at age 20, then graduated from the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery (1888) and from the College of Physicians and Surgeons (1889). He soon became a clinical instructor at the dental college, and was later appointed professor of physicology, which post he held until 1923.
George E. Hardy, Jr. also became a dentist, and practiced for 44 years, mainly at the Medical Arts Building in Baltimore. He had attended City College, graduated from the Johns Hopkins University in 1923, and from dental school in 1926. He married Elizabeth Scarlett.

Hi there. I wonder if you would consider playing a Twilight 2013 game that has fallen by the wayside.
We're a group of mature gamers that enjoy PnP gaming. A few of us had played the twilight 2000 game when it was out quite a few years ago. Last year I had found T2013 had been produced, and I put together a group to try it out.
We were all having a pretty good time, but 1 guy went to an all summer job and two others were having scheduling issues. Now that summer is over and worse weather is approaching, im considering picking up where we left off if the right people can be brought to bare.
I try to field 5 or 6 players, knowing that one will not show up each game. For a solid 4 or 5 player game. That's how it was working anyways before it fell apart
We play at a local hobby shop, Wings Wheels Waves. In downtown Massillon.
