Brand new front upper control arm bushing. It is made of high quality CNC machined alumunim and high quality polyurethane bushings. It is direct bolt on OEM replacement. These polyurethane bushings are for quicker response and a more positive feel when compared to other manufacturers' bushings. Tearing and unseating problems normally associated with other fixed rubber bushings are eliminated by allowing the arm to rotate freely about the bushings. Fewer grooves within the inner diameter as well as special, radiused backsides help them last longer and avoid tearing and unseating. It can be used most type front upper control arm like Skunk2 front upper arm, Megan front upper arm, Ebay type front upper arm and stock front upper arm.
Instruction is not included. Professional installation is highly recommended!
Item exactly the same as picture shown.

At this year's G-Star gaming expo in South Korea, the country's Nintendo branch rolled out a nice looking booth. Its first G-Star booth. Let's check it out.
These photos, courtesy of Japanese site Game Watch Impress, are a great reminder of how far Nintendo of Korea has come. It was only a few years ago that a seemingly dodgy distribution company handled all of Nintendo's games in Korea.
Since then, the Japanese game maker has set up an official branch. And that branch has a nice G-Star booth with great red neckties. Progress!

Welcome to the Asia Stocks live blog, a running account of what the region's share markets are doing, along with other news. Though Hong Kong, Shanghai and the other Chinese markets are all closed for the Dragon Boat Festival, the country may still play an important role today as Asia reacts to stronger-than-expected Chinese data and new policy moves from Beijing. (Pictured above: A drawing of zongzi, rice dumplings that are the traditional food for the Dragon Boat holiday.)

- China over the weekend: Good data, more easing
- by Mike Kitchen
- Add a Comment
Chinese markets, both on the mainland and in Hong Kong, are closed today for the Dragon Boat Festival, but investors will have plenty to chew over when trading reopens after some strong manufacturing data and plans to ease the reserve requirements for some banks.
First the data: The government version of China's manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index, released Sunday, showed stronger-than-expected growth in activity.
The PMI's headline number rose to 50.8, up from April's 50.4 and above the 50.6 median forecast from a Dow Jones Newswires survey of economists. Still, the result remained not that far above the 50 line which separates growth from contraction.
"The upside surprise was led by the new-orders index, which rose to a six-month high, reflecting the government's continued effort since mid-March to boost investment and construction activities," wrote analysts at Barclays, though they added that "the recovery remains at its early stage and is not broad based."
Bank of America-Merrill Lynch took a similar view that the numbers were modestly positive, although they cited a pre-data consensus of 50.7, making the result slightly less of a surprise.
"Markets will respond positively to the improved PMI reading, even it's pretty much expected," they wrote, reiterating their GDP growth forecast for the current quarter at 7.5%, up from 7.4% in January-March.
When the markets reopen tomorrow, we will also get a look at the final reading for HSBC's version of the China manufacturing PMI, with a previously released preliminary edition printing at 49.7, up from 48.1 in April.
And then the policy moves: Late Friday, the State Council (China's cabinet) said it would, among other things, (1) reduce some of the corporate-tax burden and public fees paid by corporations, and (2) ease credit access for small business and reduce the required reserve requirements for certain lenders.
Reacting to the announcements, J.P. Morgan says the tax moves are a step "in the right direction, as weak corporate profit is a critical issue, and also affects income growth (and hence stable consumption growth)."
However it sees the monetary and credit-easing plans as modest and representing "fine-tuning" rather than a major policy shift.
"This is consistent with our view that monetary policy will not be eased substantially," the J.P. Morgan analysts write. "The two most important indicators for monetary policy stance are policy rates and credit growth, which we expect to remain unchanged for the rest of the year."

- Jumping Japan!

As the week begins, we find Tokyo showing off its latest stock rally, with the Nikkei Average quoted 1.5% higher in the early minutes, trailed not far behind by a 1.2% advance for the broader Topix.
The yen is a factor in the strong showing, with the dollar rising back to near the ¥102 level (currently buying ¥101.95 vs. ¥101.64 at Tokyo's Friday close.) Dow Jones Newswires says improved risk appetite — in part because of the strong China data over the weekend — is helping spur the gains by driving yen-funded carry trades. Heavy dollar demand from Japanese importers is also a factor, the news agency says.
As you would expect, the major exporters are among the top blue-chip gainers, with Sony up 2.5%, Toshiba and Sumitomo Electric up 2.6% each, Murata Manufacturing up 4.5%, and TDK up 2.3%.
Among the auto makers, Honda's up 1.2%, Mazda is 1.6% higher, and Mitsubishi Motors is up 1.5%, though Toyota Motor is up a more modest 0.6% as the Nikkei newspaper reports it plans nearly $4.9 billion in capital investment in Japan during the current fiscal year — the most since the 2008 financial meltdown.
On the downside, Dai-Ichi Life Insurance is falling 3.7%, though off its opening low, following a Nikkei news report it's in talks to buy U.S. peer Protective Life for $4.9 billion (coincidentally, the same amount as the Toyota investment plan.) A subsequent Wall Street Journal report quoted Dai-Ichi Life as saying it is looking into a U.S. acquisition but had made no decision as of yet.

- Australia swings higher, with Karoon Gas on fire
- by Mike Kitchen
- Add a Comment
Australia stocks have overcome an early dip into negative territory, with the S&P/ASX 200 now 0.2% higher. (It ended Friday's session with a 0.5% loss.)
The upward movement comes despite some weakness in the crucial mining sector, after the market beat 4% out of the iron-ore price on Friday. Understandably, BHP Billiton is down 1.6%, Rio Tinto is down 0.8%, and both Fortescue Metals and Atlas Iron are down 1.5% each.
Somehow, though, Mt. Gibson Iron is up 1.4%, while Whitehaven Coal is up 1% after Bell Potter called the stock a "classic contrarian buy" (according to Dow Jones Newswires).
Among the financials, banks are mostly higher, with ANZ and CBA each rising 0.6%, while NAB improves by 0.8%, and Westpac gains 0.5%.
The biggest blue-chip mover today, however, is Karoon Gas, zooming almost 44% higher after it said it is selling its interest in Australia's offshore Browse Basin natural-gas project to Origin Energy for as much as $800 million ($600 million up front, with additional performance-based payments possible). Shares of Origin are currently down 3.1%.
Meanwhile, stock in Virgin Australia is down 2.4%, while early losses for Qantas have melted away with the shares now trading flat. The sector's weakness appears connected to flight cancellations in Darwin over the weekend due to a volcanic eruption in Indonesia.

Good news for anyone who's looking to pick up the HTC 8X on AT&T. Amazon Wireless has the Windows Phone 8 handset listed for just a single penny, that's just $0.01 when taken out with an eligible contract. Consumers will have to either extend their contract or add a new line to their AT&T account to be able to purchase the HTC 8X, but it's a superb deal with the festive holidays soon approaching.
We've continuously praised the HTC 8X and while it doesn't share some of the highlighted features of the Lumia 920, it's a lightweight Windows Phone that packs a punch. Be sure to check out our HTC 8X review for the full rundown on our thoughts. The handset listed at Amazon is the blue 8GB variant.

A burgeoning rivalry between area parochial schools will continue Sept. 6 when Whittier Christian's football team visits Cantwell-Sacred Heart in nonleague play.
The Heralds and Cardinals have met for the past three seasons, with two of the games blowouts. Whittier Christian gained over 500 yards in last season's 49-6 victory, while Cantwell-Sacred Heart was a 45-21 winner in 2011. The closest contest was a 35-28 Cardinal victory in 2011.
"This has become a neat little rivalry," said Cantwell-Sacred Heart coach Kim Taylor, whose team went 3-7 a year ago and missed the playoffs.
The Cardinals will have to replace their leading passer (Timothy Walsh, 1,705 yards), leading rusher (Jared Gonzales, 1,393 yards) and leading receiver (Albert Roman, 558 yards) from last season, all of whom graduated. This season, strong-armed junior Matt Valencia will take over at quarterback and 6-foot-1 junior Jean Lue Dauphiney will replace Gonzales in the backfield. Junior Jesse Torres and 6-4, 250-pound sophomore Kyle Morales will anchor the offensive line, and 6-1 senior Matt Morales returns at linebacker.
A year ago, Cantwell-Sacred Heart lost its first six games but rallied to win three of its last four in the Del Rey League before missing the postseason.
Whittier Christian is coming off an 8-4 campaign that saw it reach the second round of the CIF-SS Northwest Division. Quarterback Ryan Esslinger threw for over 2,700 yards, completed nearly 69 percent of his passes (259 for 376) and tossed 28 touchdown passes in an impressive junior season. At 6-1 and 190 pounds, he's received recruiting interest from Air Force and New Mexico, among others.
"He had a phenomenal junior year," said Whittier Christian coach Sergio Gradilla. "He's gotten bigger, faster and stronger. We're expecting even more this year, and he's expecting even more this year."
Junior receiver Noah Evans was an All-CIF performer last season, with 74 receptions for 653 yards and seven TDs. At 6-3 and 215 pounds, he gives Esslinger a big, strong target.
"He's really hard to bring down," said Gradilla.
One question mark for the Heralds will be their offensive line, which is very young.
Gradilla expects Cantwell-Sacred Heart to field a better team this season, but he's more concerned about how his squad performs, not the tendencies of the other team.
"It doesn't matter who we play, it matters how we play," he said. "We're focused on us."

Very good movie
The movie "Margin Call" depicts the events that immediately preceded the Financial Crisis in 2008 within a nameless Investment Bank. What I like especially about the movie is the fact that it doesn't try to explain the technical causes of the Financial Crisis but the psychological causes - human failures, which are the real cause for the Crisis: greed, egotism, ignorance. Many scenes in this movie deal with very little dialogue, instead the body language and the unique atmosphere speaks for itself. The ensemble is just brilliant, especially Kevin Spacey and Jeremy Irons.
The movie works solely from inside the nameless firm – apart from minor steps outside. It only portraits the people working inside this company - the "normal world" is completely left out. The effect is a very clever one: The life of these bankers seems totally severed from the outside world, they have no real connection with normal people and seem to – speaking exaggeratingly – lack an understanding of real human values, that there could be more behind life than just maximizing and making money. They are completely left behind in their own world, which somehow got out of control. Even when the imminent truth reveals and the consequences are becoming more clearer, it always feels like they are cut off; there is a scene in a taxi with Quinto and Badgley that underlines this.
But one can also witness the cold-blooded atmosphere in the system itself, where every person could easily be mistaken as a number. A key figure of the film, Eric Dale, who gets sacked in the beginning, is confronted with two managers in a scene like from "Up In The Air". Either are these women robots or have never experienced something like social warmth. One widely held position is that eventually bankers themselves didn't understand their own system and products with Derivatives and Futures, etc. anymore. Almost hilarious, but sadly true is the fact that many people in these companies seem to have no understanding of Economics and just got into their position due to influence or money. When they are sitting in their conference room and discuss the incident, it feels somewhat grotesque.
Although this movie works almost completely without music, the tension is so immense - thanks to the brilliant actors - that one is forced to focus

Nobody watched Ryan O'Neal's reality show on the OWN network ... NOBODY ... not even Oprah Winfrey ... this according to Ryan O'Neal.
The 70-year-old Hollywood star -- who starred with his famous daughter on "Ryan and Tatum: The O'Neals" -- was out in L.A. yesterday when we asked how he felt about O's admission that she wasn't ready to launch her network.
O'Neal replied, "I wish we had known that ... she should have told us."
When we asked if he was worried that the extremely low-rated reality show would tarnish his reputation .... he simply shot back, "No because nobody saw it ... I don't know if Oprah saw it."
We're guessing there won't be a Season 2.

"No is the second shortest word in the English language ... but one of the hardest to say."– Raymond Arroyo
Whether it is in getting to grips with the basic skills of reading or writing at Primary School, or in analysing the themes behind Chaucer's Middle English poetry, we can provide a professional English Tutor who can help you.
The benefits of Primary, GCSE, IGCSE and A level English tuition:
1. Your English Tutor has the opportunity to focus on the specific subjects and areas that your child may be struggling with. At school, a teacher can only give limited individual attention to each student, as there is limited classroom time available and the requirement for the teacher to meet the needs of the whole teaching group.
2. There are fewer distractions in a home setting, with little noise or distractions from classmates, which can often impact on your child's concentration and performance.
3. Your English Tutor will quickly gauge the current achievement, future potential and learning style of your child and will be able to adapt their teaching to this to bring the greatest benefit.
4. Your English Tutor can provide academic challenge for your child, if they do not find this at their school. This can enthuse and invigorate learning and enjoyment for a particular subject, which can infect other areas of their school life.
5. Your English Tutor can offer academic support to your child, if they have missed out on some of their learning, whether through illness, absence, a lack of understanding at school ... or a lack of effort. A short, direct and intensive course of lessons can have a profound impact on your child's performance and confidence.
6. Your English Tutor can help develop your child's confidence in a subject. The more confident a child feels with their schoolwork, the more they are able to develop and progress their skills and knowledge.
7. Your English Tutor can help your child develop the right exam technique, so that they are able to perform to their full potential in an exam situation. Often children to need a lot of practice doing trial exam papers, with a tutor alongside helping them to be precise and concise, to spot the traps that are set, to organise their timings, ...
8. If your child is shy then often they will not ask questions in the classroom. In a one-on-one teaching, your child will feel more able to ask questions when they are unsure of a concept.
9. If your child is struggling with homework from school, the tutor can provide support to help them with this. If your child is not receiving enough homework from school to consolidate their learning, the tutor can provide this.
10. Regular lessons with a English tutor will help a disorganised child begin to focus on their work, with the responsibility that they will have to be ready for the next lesson. Once momentum builds, your child will begin to feel less anxious and more enjoyment, as they begin to sense that they are making progress.

It is a lot more fun working with farmers when they feel they have a chance to make a profit going into the year. We recently attended the Rice Outlook Conference in Orlando. I love the meeting because I get to see a lot of farmers early in the year and I do not have any real responsibilities. I can just go and be like everyone else.
If you have never attended, I would encourage you to try it. Most people bring their families, and I never see anyone there who does not appear to be having fun.
Farmer mood at the recent conference was upbeat and most of the presentations regarding rice prices were optimistic. The optimism was tempered somewhat by forecasts of higher input costs.
With the increase in wheat acres and the optimistic outlook in corn and soybeans, rice will have to buy acres. Hopefully this will happen and our acres will be stable.
While you have to grow what is most profitable for you, I just like rice — always have. Most true rice farmers also have a love for the crop, but it must be profitable.
Hopefully, the LibertyLink contamination issue is behind us for the most part. It was interesting during the presentation on the status of this issue at the conference, several commented on the need for biotechnology to move forward. This was a change from last year.
While the industry did what it had to do to purge the system of the contamination issue, I believe a bigger challenge is to find ways to move technology forward. It cannot move forward without customer acceptance.
It will obviously be a slow process, but somehow some new technology development (including GMO) must begin to take place. Hopefully this new year will see more optimism in this area.
The grower meeting season is here. I encourage you to begin the new year by attending as many as possible. In education as in technology — if we are not going forward we are going backward.
The part of my university job I miss most is speaking at grower meetings. Weed control technology was moving forward so quickly most of my career I always had new stuff to talk about. That is why it concerns me to see technology development at an apparent standstill now.
There will be new ideas to pick up at the meetings though. Heck, I have to beat the bushes now in an effort to stay current.
The Conservations Systems Cotton and Rice Conference is back in Tunica, Miss., this month. It is a great meeting for getting the latest information — a lot of it presented by farmers. I hope to see you there.
My challenge for the new year is to not get complacent about drift control and drift issues. Last year was much better than the previous couple of years. Everyone involved is to be commended.
However, after I had a relatively easy early growing season, I had a flurry of late season drift calls. I am concerned that a year of adverse weather conditions could put us right back where we were with glyphosate drift. A lot of effort was put forth by the Glyphosate Task Force last winter.
I generally do not like regulations. However, I was disappointed to see the recommendations from the Task Force on education watered down to basically lip service. I would challenge the powers that be to put in place a well-organized and well-funded effort on drift control education.
A lot of people do not realize the number of calls that I and my university counterparts get all winter from farmers and others still trying to resolve drift issues that occurred the past season. While overall we did better last year, drift is a huge issue on an individual farmer basis.

Ollie I have a few ideas.
What about adding a page of equipment reviews. For instance I see a sweet deal on a used or new kite. I could look up reviews of the kite by the regulars and get a good idea if i want to buy it. Yes i have read your posting on the Best kites, but i am talking about a dedicated page. here is an example of what i am talking about albeit a different sport. http://www.mtbr.com/reviews/
> what about a photo caption contest?
>what about being able to remove something from the buy/sell classifieds after it is sold. I'm thinking something similar to craigslist.???
>I'd like to see some beginner stuff. Like rigging examples, pully bar or chicken loop?, shackles, kiting handling tips. Does this make sense at all?
>This is kinda dumb so shooting me down won't hurt my feelings but what about "session journal" where you could keep a log of times you go out and conditions what gear you used. Maybe people you saw. Then come the end of the season we can say Damn Ollie got 130 days in with 200 sessions for those days. Maybe have the option to make it public or private. I don't know just an idea.
ok that is all i have for now.

The Secoroc 250 is manufactured in a state-of-the-art factory using only premium materials. It has been extensively tested with excellent results on some of the toughest mining markets in the world. Weighing in at only 35 kg, makes the Secoroc 250 an excellent power to weight ratio drill with low vibration. The market leading design makes it easy to service and repair, and interchangeable with parts from existing rock drills.
Read more.
The Secoroc 7655 rock drill is an economical, reliable and durable all-round rock drill which suits most drilling applications. The D-version of the 7655 is a robust and reliable CE certified rock drill. It requires less working air pressure and has lower air consumption than the 7655. This makes it suitable for work-sites with low airline pressure or low compressor capacity. Due to the fact that this drill is not as powerful as the YT27/ YT29, it has become very appreciated in softer rock conditions.
While efficient and with a low energy consumption, the Secoroc YT27 is durable, reliable and suitable for all applications and all kinds of rock. This rock drill has become the operator's choice in small scale mining operations, and today it's the preferred model in the most important mining markets in South Africa.
The Secoroc YT29A rock drill is the most rugged, powerful and highly efficient rock drill in the range. It provides improved productivity and drill steel economy and can be used on all rock formations and in various applications. It's available in two versions. The YT29A is our standard model and the YT29AE is equipped with an anti-vibration handle and a larger silencer. Both rock drills are CE certified.
The Secoroc stoper rock drill, YSP45, is of robust design for tough working conditions. It's high impact frequency makes it perfect for production drilling, driving of raises and bolting applications. The stoper is available with both hex 22 mm and hex 25 mm chuck bushing. It can also be set up for collarless drill rods as well as with retainer (YSP45K) if needed.

FERGUSON, Iowa - The Iowa Department of Natural Resources will relax the fishing regulations at Green Castle Lake beginning Aug. 3 to allow anglers to more freely harvest game fish before the lake is renovated. The fishery in the 17-acre lake has changed dramatically since there was an increase in the common carp population causing poor water quality. What had been an outstanding crappie, bass, and catfish fishery has suffered the near complete loss of quality fishing. Fisheries staff from the Iowa DNR is currently rescuing as many game fish as possible and transplanting them to other area public lakes. The water level has been lowered approximately 16 feet prior the fishery being renovated later this year. The lake will be restocked again in 2014. Quality fishing should return in 2016. Anglers with a valid fishing license will be allowed to harvest any size or number of largemouth bass, channel catfish, and all other fish species from Green Castle. Any number of fishing poles, jugs or nets will be allowed. Anglers must remain in sight of these lines at all times, and follow all other fishing regulations and area rules. Trot lines will be allowed (name and address must be attached), however lines may not be set across entire water body. Dynamite, poison, electric shocking devices or any stupefying substances will not be allowed. It is illegal to sell fish or stock captured fish into public waters. Liberalized fishing regulations for Green Castle Lake will remain in effect until November 01. Green Castle Lake is part of Green Castle Recreation Area that is run by the Marshall County Conservation Board and offers hiking trails, shelters for gatherings, trumpeter swan and American bison exhibits and more. The park will remain open while the renovation is underway.

Oh, Mother!
So, one day last year found me sitting on my classroom stool waiting for conversations to stop, papers to stop rustling, and 3-ring binders to stop their incessant clicking. I finally lobbed my discussion bomb. I direct students, "Tell me about a time your mother embarrassed you." Instantly every hand in the room goes up including my own.
Parental embarrassment of any kind seems to be the great equalizer in a very diverse group of people including my young students. For the next several minutes I'm regaled with tales of mothers who like to show baby pictures (especially the naked type) to friends and family, mom's who go out in public with curlers in their hair, and mom's who laugh or talk too loud. In my own case my mother was notorious for taking up with virtual strangers in waiting rooms and grocery store lines, and in the course of five minutes she would be telling them all sorts of personal and private things about my sister and I while we looked on in horrified fashion.
I'm a huge embarrassment to my own children at times. I even know what it is I do to elicit the eyerolling and the exasperated exclamations of "Oh, Mother!", but I can't help myself. Perhaps it all stems from some type of hormone that is present during pregnancy and never goes away. At any rate it would seem that if there are children mothers who embarrass them are never far away.
Now I don't merely bring up embarrassing mother stories just for the heck of it. I usually do it as an introduction to a read aloud I use in my classroom by Jean Fritz titled George Washington's Mother. It is a wonderfully researched tale of Mary Ball Washington and some of her interactions with her famous son especially those of the embarrassing kind. Students instantly connect to our first president as they realize they have something in common.
Recently I posted a painting for my wordless image at History Is Elementary by Jean Ferris titled Call of the Sea (1920). The subjects in the painting are George Washington at the age of 14 and Mary Ball Washington. He is looking out the window as he receives his mother's decision that he cannot join the British Royal Navy. As I've proven many times here, here, and here bring up George Washington and you are sure to have a debate of some kind regarding fact and fiction, national legend versus verified history, and a view of history as it was presented in the 18th century versus 19th and 20th century presentations.
In his biography of George Washington titled Patriarch by Richard Norton Smith he makes a very valid point regarding Mary Ball Washington. Eighteenth century writers sanctified [her while more] modern writers have depicted her as Medea in a mob cap, grasping, possessive, envious to a fault. Willard Sterne Randall states in his biography titled George Washington: A Life [men like Parson Mason Weems and Rev. Jared Sparks] grafted and pruned facts to form a Washington myth [and] we owe them for the early deification of Mary Ball Washinton.
After looking over local lore, various scholarly biographies, and the letters of George Washington I would have to state Mary Ball Washington was not our typical idea of what a mother is or does. It does appear from the evidence that George Washington's relationship with his mother was very formal and at times strained. I have no doubt that Mary Ball Washington could be a star in the Maternal Embarrassment Hall of Fame.
It is no secret that Mary Ball Washington was the second wife of Augustine Washington. He married her at 22 at a time most of her neighbors had written her off as a spinster. Randall wonders, Could it have been something so strong and indepependent about her that every suitor seemed to back away? Luckily for our nation Augustine Washington did not. Randall also mentions Mary Ball Washington's step-grand daughter (the wife of Robert E. Lee) passed down the family tradition that Mrs. Washington required from those about her a prompt and literal obedience somewhat resembling that demanded by a proper military subordination.
Always of a mind that past events can be evidentiary in future actions I find it interesting that during Mary Ball Washington's pregnancy with her son George a fierce thunderstorm arose during dinner and a guest was killed at the dinnertable from a strike of lightening. Margaret C. Conkling in her book Memoirs of the Mother and Wife of Washington (1850) advises the force of the strike was so strong the knife and fork of the dinner guest was fused to her hand, and Mary Ball Washington felt the jolt of energy surge through her body as well. Throughout her pregancy she worried about the safety of her child. Could this be why she held such a firm hold on George and later felt so neglected and alone during his adult years?
Let us also not forget that Mary Ball Washington suddenly found herself a widow with several young children and as Jean Fritz's book tells my students she suddenly felt poor. While not as aristocratic, as socially prominent, or as wealthy as families such as the Fairfax family, Mary Ball Washington was by no means destitute, but her security was suddenly very compromised by the death of her husband. Augustine Washington's sons, Lawrence and Augustine, Jr. (Jack) inherited the bulk of the estate. Mary Ball Washington was promised an income for a period of five years from Ferry Farm prior to the property transferring to George Washington when he came of age, but she continuously worried about money.
Some historians have surmised that Lawrence Washington and his father in law, Lord Fairfax, took young George under their wings regarding his education in order to get him away from a very firm mother who did not want George to ever leave her side. Those same historians like to state that Augustine Washington enjoyed his job surveying the countryside mainly because it took him away from his wife for long periods of time.
The painting I used in my wordless post centers around an event that occurred on September 8, 1746 when George Washington met with his benefactor, Lord Fairfax, to receive two letters from Lawrence Washington. One letter was for George and the other was a letter for Mrs. Washington asking her to allow her son to join the British Royal Navy. My students learn from my read aloud using George Washington's Mother that young George's mother did exactly what any mother would do. She stalled for time hoping the ship would leave without her son, and she also wrote her bother, Joseph Ball, who had returned to Britain some years earlier. When she finally did hear from her brother he advised her that her since her son was a middle son and had no further prospects of inheriting additional property he would be better off keeping his Virginia contacts, taking over Ferry Farm at the prescribed time, and try to make it as a planter. Joseph Ball advised his sister that without the proper patronage and contact the Royal Navy would be a very unkind place for young George to be saying that the Royal Navy could cut him and staple him and use him like a Negro, or rather, life a dog.. After reading her brother's letter that was the end of any hopes George Washington had for naval career. Joseph Ball's letter is quoted in the seventh volume of Douglas Southall Freeman's biography of George Washington (Scribners, 1948-1957). Of course, we now know that George Washington did very well as a soldier, used his planter contacts, and upon the death of Lawrence Washington inherited Mount Vernon as well, but young Washington did not know this at the time and his mother's decision was very upsetting to him.
Of course, that wasn't the end of events that caused George Washington great embarrassment where his mother was concerned.
In 1755 while at Fort Cumberland in the Ohio wilderness a message from his mother arrived via a family friend who had been enlisted to deliver it. Mary Ball Washington requested her son find her a "Dutchman" meaning an indentured servant to help her run the farm. She also requested her son send her some butter.
So while the future Father of our County was off nearly getting killed in the Ohio Wilderness he had to write his mother we are quite out of that part of the country where either are to be had. There are few and no inhabitants where we now lie encamped and butter cannot be had here to supply the wants of the camp…. From the papers of George Washington you can see the letter here.
In an article titled Washington and His Mother by Frederick Bernays Weiner published in the American Historical Review (1991, 26, vol. 3) an episode is recounted where Mary Ball Washington petitioned the Virginia House of Delegates (formally the House of Burgesses) for a state pension. She also indicated she needed to have her taxes lowered and claimed she was destitute. Benjamin Harrison, speaker of the House of Delegates, promptly sent a message to General Washington advising him of his mother's petition.
I don't think it would be an exaggeration to state George Washington was shocked and surprised. Weiner states he was outraged and promptly answered Harrison's message explaining he regularly sent money to his mother and whence her distress arise therefore, I know not, never having received any complaint of inattention or neglect.
It also didn't help that throughout the Revolution Mary Ball Washington was a staunch loyalist. Randall states only George Washington's stature protected her from being driven out of the community by resentful neighbors.
Randall mentions there is no evidence George Washington wrote his mother at all during the Revolution but he did see to it that she had received an annuity and all her living expenses were paid by Lund, his farm manager. Eventually George Washington bought his mother a home in Fredericksburg where she lived until her death.
At one point in 1787 Mary Ball Washington actually requested to live at Mt. Vernon but Randall contends George Washington refused and references a February 15th letter he wrote in response….you would not be able to enjoy that calmness and serenity of mind which in my opinion you ought now to prefer to every other consideration.
In another letter to Richard Conway, George Washington correctly predicts his stopover in Fredericksburg in the Spring of 1789 would be the last time he would see his mother alive. Randall refers to Washington relating his reason for the visit as [an effort] to discharge the last act of personal duty I may ever have it in my power to pay my mother.
Randall also relates a local legend that when Washington arrived Mary Ball Washington continued to work in a flowerbed while the soon-to-be-inaugurated President attempted to engage her in conversation.
After reading the read aloud to students by Jean Fritz we discuss possible reasons for Mary Ball Washington's actions throughout George's life and students begin to see that in her own way she probably cared for her son and was proud of him. Later I ask students to remember their own embarrassment story about their own mother, and I ask them to write an essay regarding why their mother acts the way she does at times. It's always very interesting to see how students begin to understand and justify their mother's actions.

Thank you for your very well-researched treatise on Mary Ball Washington. It has led me to do more research; I shall use this post for my student tours to elict more discussion.
I also empathsized with children whose parents have embarrassed them; it struck a deep chord!
Alas! I suspect that the private correspondence between Gen. Washington and his wife, Martha, would have given us more insight. I still wonder at the relationship between Mary Ball and Martha! (Martha did not have a high personal opinion of Thomas Jefferson, for instance.)
Also, I was under the impression that Augustine Washington, Jr. was known as, 'Austin', where did you find him referred to as, 'Jack',?
BTW, have you checked out my Wordless Wednesday? (Yes! I've posted something!)
- EHT said...
Well, it's about time you posted...just kidding. :) I believe it was in the Randall biography. I'll check my notes if I still have them.

great strategy to authenticate "King" George.
wondering how the kids reacted to the readings. I found handouts of a few paragraphs with some pictures (students love pictures in what they're reading), to be pretty effective in getting them to read, as opposed to copies of pages from books.
i'm also wondering if there have been any studies on presidents mothers and whether any similarities could be found... ie. What makes a leader?

The code for the poll is from Blogger. I just fill out a form and it magically appears. Very easy to do but it is limited to those bloggers using the Blogger platform.

Indians rip Phillies thanks to 7 HRs
Cleveland, OH – The Cleveland Indians put on a power display, belting five two-run homers and going yard seven times overall in a 14-2 romp of the Philadelphia Phillies in the opener of a two-game Interleague series at the launching pad known as Progressive Field.
Ryan Raburn recorded a two-homer game for the second day in a row for the Indians, who have totaled 33 runs while winning three straight games. Six of Cleveland's seven home runs came with two outs.
"Sometimes you're gonna have nights like these and other nights we're gonna be on the other end. We just got to go out there, have fun, play hard and hopefully that night falls our way," Raburn said.
Cleveland starter Zach McAllister (2-3) allowed home runs to Delmon Young and Chase Utley and only three other hits in a season-best seven innings.
The Indians quickly jumped on Philadelphia starter Roy Halladay (2-3), who appeared to have turned the corner with three consecutive strong assignments. Tuesday's outing, however, resembled the struggles he endured in his first two starts of the season as he was tagged for eight runs on nine hits -- both season highs -- in 3 2/3 innings.
Halladay gave up a pair of two-out, two-run homers to Carlos Santana and Mark Reynolds in the first inning.
The Indians scored four more runs in both the fourth and fifth innings to go up 12-1.
Halladay was removed after a two-out single by Asdrubal Cabrera plated a pair in the fourth. Lonnie Chisenhall had followed Reynolds' leadoff single with a drive over the right-field wall.
Halladay had gone 2-0 with a 1.71 ERA over his last three starts after giving up a combined 12 runs in losses to the Atlanta Braves and New York Mets.
The barrage continued in the fifth against Chad Durbin as Raburn and Michael Brantley each clubbed two-run homers off the Philadelphia reliever.
Raburn and Drew Stubbs hit back-to-back shots off Raul Valdes in the seventh.
"I don't know how you stop them. Everything they hit was hard," said Philadelphia manager Charlie Manuel.
A bright spot for the Phillies was Young, who went 2-for-3 in his season debut. The free-agent signee, who missed the team's first 26 games while recovering from right ankle surgery, homered in his first at-bat in the second.
Utley went deep in the sixth.
Game Notes
Raburn became the first Indians player to have back-to-back multi-homer games since Travis Hafner accomplished the feat on July 19-20, 2004 ... The Phillies were coming off a three-game sweep of the Mets in New York ... Philadelphia first baseman Ryan Howard went 1-for-4 to extend his hitting streak to 11 games ... To make room for Young on the 25-man roster, the Phillies designated outfielder Ezequiel Carrera for assignment ... Cleveland right fielder/first baseman Nick Swisher was out of the lineup with a sore left shoulder ... The Phillies swept a three-game set June 22-24, 2010 at Citizens Bank Park the last time these teams met ... Philadelphia still leads the all-time series, 6-4.

Ben Carver needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 115 designs submitted by 22 freelance designers.
im a dj based in St. louis MO. and im looking for a logo for promotion purposes.as a kid i was a skateboarder and love that whole culture. i grew up listening to a wide variety of music but mostly rap and rock. rap and rock are big influences on what i spin. i started with turntables in college and concentrated on scratching mostly but now have evolved into focusing mainly on mixing. i spin electro and house at a higher end club in downtown st. louis every friday. alot of which are some type of electro or house remix of a rap or rock song. all of the songs i play are highly danceable and full of emotion and energy. i play songs with great melodies and basslines.and i love great music. the songs i play have elements of everything from salsa to rock to hip hop to classical to pop but all are electro or house remixes . some of my influences are outkast, daft punk, nine inch nails, discotech, deadmau5, dire straights, dj p, bad boy bill, tiesto, mix master mike,
basically i am targeting people who go to clubs to watch dj's spin
i really have no specific idea in my head. i would like to let the designers read about me and my influences and use their creativity to come up with something impressive. the only thing i would suggest is something dramatic because the music i play is dramatic and full of emotion. just looking for something clean and powerful. i hope this helps, good luck

It is hard to open the door for a visit when you speak with people who want your family and house that you are to watch over even though they tell you that they don't but seem to be casing the place and making plans in or about your house and your family that they don't tell you about. It is furthermore difficult when you speak with those you tell you they seek to be your guests and agree to things and then present agreements that differ from the original agreements. If one wants to believe that he is not welcome because he is a pole, or the Patriarch of Moscow is not Christian or engaged in unchristian behavior in any sense of the word because he considers the actions of Rome to be aggressive and tells the bishop of Rome and company that they are not welcome to visit then you are free to think as you will. However disagreements between Christians are not uncommon as we can read in a letter written by Saint Gregory the theologian to Saint Basil that one of the posters here brings to our attention; "Do leave off speaking of me as an ill-educated and uncouth and unfriendly man, not even worthy to live." Please note Saint Gregory did not suggest that Saint Basil was unchristian in any sense of the word, that seems to exceed the realm of what he had in mind. Be further advised I'm sure I've said or done worse, hence you would be implying that I and maybe others that have done worse are unchristian or behaved in a unchristian way in any sense of the word as well. I think your conclusion might be worth reconsidering for it was rendered with confidence, but certainly not unchristian from my perspective, for there may be Christians who are capable of telling someone they are not welcome or evaluating other peoples behavior. I'm guilty of that as well. I once threw someone I loved out of my house and was verbally very abusive because I was mad. As a matter of fact, I have seen an entire family thrown out of a house by a group of Christians. As such by your logic I'm unchristian as well or I behaved in an unchristian way on that occasion and many more. Nevertheless, God permits me to go to Church and pray and worship and pay attention. Actually when I think about it, even when I was a very young child and very innocent in comparison to my latter years, I often behaved in ways that fell well short of the aforemention standard that you have articulated. I have even seen a group of Christians try to throw out of his house a very innocent Bishop. It appears that it can be a struggle to be a Christian and always live up to the standard of behavior that is determined or presented for consideration. There are many incidents that all of us could mention in recent times as well as much earlier times. I recall that Saint Nicholas the bishop of Myra at the first Ecumenical Council at Nicaea slapped a Bishop from Alexandria by the name of Arius, Saint Nicholas was deemed not worthy to be a Bishop any longer after the incident. Suffice it say several Orthodox Church Fathers shortly there after shared a common dream in which Christ and the Theotokas reinstated him as a bishop.I believe that Patriarch Alexy is a Christian even though he told someone that they're not welcome to visit him, how could I say otherwise with some knowledge of my sinful life?It raises an issue with me as well, it appears that both of us who are Christians are aware of it.In Christ,Matthew Panchisin
ALSO, it is quite obvious that the Blue Army and the Vatican were using the Icon with the agenda "for the conversion of Russia"! Quite shanefully, I might add!
(4) For a full account of the Blue Army betrayal of their custodianship, see my article Handing Over the Symbolic Icon of Our Lady of Kazan: A Confirmation of a Great Crisis in the Church,The Remnant, January 31, 2001.
Is this satisfactory? Undoubtedly, it will not be for you, but for me, it is quite satisfactory that it shows the shameless exploitation of the Icon by the Roman Catholic fanatics whose desire to "convert Russia" to Papism comes from demonic apparitions at Fatima; the Papacy, by going along with this and not immediately returning the stolen property of the Russian Orthodox Church, show their involvement. Or perhaps you do not believe that stolen goods should be restored to their rightful owners, and that excuses like, "They bought it with their own money" allow those who recieve stolen objects to keep them? If so, you disagree with the laws of the United States. Now, perhaps, you may also object to this being pointed out; I know nor care not. Now, is that all you DEMAND of me? Or must I to jump to your demands with every future post? Well, this WILL be the last time, believe me.

I found the article in question on-line. If A Sombra is claiming to be the author of the piece cited which may be found here: http://www.traditioninaction.org/polemics/F_01_Kazan2_ConfirmsCrisis.htmthen the vehemence against the RCC is surprising considering the some of the other very "Traditionalist" articles that I found by that author. And I'm not sure how such strong Trad. RC sentiments go along with this person's own post of a few months ago in which was stated:
Most amazing to me is that by claiming authorship of the article in question, A Sombra claims to possess a doctorate, for the author published the article as a Ph.D. and is consistently referred to as Dr. so-and-so.

Lena Headey — Crush of the Day
What do you think it was like hitting on women in barbarian times? Our best hypothesis would be something to the effect of John Slattery's reconfiguring of the National Anthem on '30 Rock.' It was probably much easier, considering there was no such thing as Facebook, texting or even bathing. By the time word got around to her that you were a player, you were probably dead from disease, battle or old age (30ish). If you need to know how to conduct yourself in the above situation (like if the world as we know it reverts back to Roman Times), just ask Lena Headey how to treat a woman. She has considerable expertise in this area of history considering she starred in '300,' and is currently playing Queen Cersei Lannister on the hit TV-series 'Game of Thrones.'
Headey, an English native, first garnered attention with roles in Disney's 'The Jungle Book,' 'The Brothers Grimm,' and the TV show 'Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.' Her role in 'Terminator,' might also make her an expert at getting hit on by cyborgs…if they weren't trying to kill her.
Needless to say, Headey is hot whether you be man, barbarian or cyborg.

Assumption Greek Orthodox Church
East Moline, Illinois
Special Services and Blessings
At the center of the life of the Church is the Holy Eucharist, which is the principal celebration of our faith and the means through which we participate in the very life of the Holy Trinity. The major Sacraments are closely related to the Eucharist and they bear witness to the continuing presence of Christ in the lives of His people.
Besides the Eucharist and the major Sacraments, the Orthodox Church has a number of Special Services and Blessings which are associated with the needs, events, and tasks of human life. In celebrating these various Services and Blessings, the Church is constantly bearing witness to the presence and action of God in our lives. Our God is one who loves us, cares for us, and is near to us. The liturgical Services and Blessings also serve to remind us that all of life is important, and that the many events and gifts of life can be directed toward God and receive their fulfillment in Him.
The Special Services are often referred to as Non-sacramental Services in the sense that they are events of community worship which are not usually counted among the major Sacraments. However, they clearly have a sacramental quality in the sense that they reveal the presence of the Holy Trinity. Many of these Services, such as the Funeral, the Blessing of Water, and the Entrance into Monastic Life, just to name a few, are very significant to the life of the Church. The various Blessings are brief ceremonies which are occasional and do not necessarily involve directly the entire parish community.
The Church blesses individuals, events such as trips, and objects such as icons, churches, flowers, fields, animals, and food. In so doing, the Church is not only expressing our thanks giving, but also affirming that no gift, event, or human responsibility is secular or detached from God. For the Orthodox Christian, all good things have God as their origin and goal. Nothing is outside of God's love and concern.
The Orthodox Funeral consists of three Services. First, there is a Vigil Service after death, which is usually conducted at the time of the wake. This service is called the Trisagion Service. The Church prays to Christ "to give rest with the Saints to the soul of Your servant where there is neither pain, grief, nor sighing but life everlasting." While the Church prays for the soul of the deceased, great respect is paid to the body. Orthodoxy believes the body of the Christian is sacred since it was the Temple of the Holy Spirit.
The body will share also in the final restoration of all creation. The Funeral Service is continued at the Church, where the body is brought on the day of burial. Ideally, the Divine Liturgy is celebrated. After the Funeral Service, the congregation offers its Farewell to the deceased. The Trisaghion Service is repeated at the graveside.
The Orthodox Church remembers the departed in the prayers of every Divine Liturgy. Besides this, there is a Memorial Service in which the Church also remembers the dead. According to tradition, the Memorial Service is offered on the third, ninth, and fortieth day after a death, as well as on the yearly anniversary of the death. In addition to these times, the Memorial Service is always offered for all the faithful departed on four "Saturdays of the souls." These are: the two Saturdays preceding Great Lent; the first Saturday of Great Lent; and, the Saturday before Pentecost. In the United States the Service is also offered on Memorial Day. When the Memorial Service is offered, it is customary for the family of the deceased to bring a dish of boiled wheat to the Church. The boiled wheat is placed on a table in the center of the nave during the Service. The wheat, known as kollyva, is a symbol of the Resurrection. When speaking of the Resurrection, our Lord said: "Unless the grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone, but if it dies it bears much fruit." (John 12:24)
The Great Blessing of Water is held on the eve of the Feast of the Epiphany and on the day itself, following the Divine Liturgy. The Blessing not only remembers the event of Our Lord's baptism and the revelation of the Holy Trinity but also expresses Orthodoxy's belief that creation is sanctified through Christ. The Blessing affirms that humanity and the created world, of which we are a part, were created to be filled with the sanctifying presence of God. After the solemn blessing, the Holy Water is distributed to the faithful and is used to bless homes during the Epiphany season. When the faithful drink the "Epiphany Water," we are reminded of our own baptism. When the Church blesses an individual, or object, or event with the water, we are affirming that those baptized, their surroundings, and their responsibilities are sanctified through Christ and brought into the Kingdom of the Father through the Spirit.
In addition to the Great Blessing of Water, there is a Lesser Blessing of Water service which can take place at anytime. Usually, it is celebrated when a home is blessed, on the first day of the month, the beginning of the school year, and beginning of new responsibilities.
"By singing praise to your maternity, we exalt you as a spiritual temple, Theotokos. For the One Who dwelt within your womb, the Lord who holds all things in his hands, sanctified you, glorified you, and taught all to sing to you ... "
The most beautiful and poetic service of the Orthodox Church in honor of Mary, the Theotokos, is the Akathist Hymn. The word akathist means without sitting. The congregation stands throughout the Service out of respect for Mary and her unique role in our salvation in Christ. The Akathist Hymn is chanted in four parts during the first four Fridays of Great Lent. On the fifth Friday, the entire Service is chanted.
"O never failing protectress of Christians and their ever-present intercessor before the Creator; despise not the petitions or sinners who have recourse to you, by your goodness extend your help to us to call upon you with confidence. Has O Theotokos, to intercede for us, O who have always protected those who honor you."
There are two forms of the Service of Supplication: the Greater and the Lesser. It is Lesser Service of Supplication which is briefer and the one most frequently offered. Both forms of the Service are offered during first fourteen days of August which precedes the Feast of the Dormition of the Theotokos celebrated on August 15th.

Search Jim Cramer's "Mad Money" trading recommendations using our exclusive "Mad Money" Stock Screener.A version of this program aired May 1, 2012.
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Individual investors can not only invest like the pros, they can beat them, too, Jim Cramer told "Mad Money" viewers as he dedicated the entire show to detailing the methods to his madness. Cramer said it doesn't take a lot of effort to invest one's own money, just a few hours a week for research, the "homework," as he so often calls it. But the results from that research will bear far more fruit than blindly dumping money into an index fund or, worse, a bond fund in a time of historically low interest rates. Where can investors find their research? Fortunately, it's practically everywhere, said Cramer, on sites like CNBC.com, TheStreet.com, Yahoo! Finance and others, as well as on the Web sites of every publicly traded company. When starting out, Cramer recommended using the 52-week high list. The new highs list shows stocks with true momentum, said Cramer, especially in a bad market. But that does not mean that investors should just blindly chase every stock on that list. Instead, research will still need to be done to separate the truly great stocks from the ones that are just lucky. After researching the new high list and picking out the true winners, Cramer said the next step is determining when to buy them. He said a pullback of at least 5% is usually a good entry point, especially when that pullback is caused by general market weakness. You should only buy stocks that have pulled back from the new high list if you're confident they'll make a comeback, he continued. Cramer said he always advises adding to a position on weakness, then trimming those positions into strength. A broad, market-wide sell off provides an excellent entry point for the former, he concluded.

Although the Panama Canal officially opened during the Woodrow Wilson administration in 1914, the digging had begun in 1879, under guidance of the French government. When the company directing the efforts went bankrupt ten years later, the path remained incomplete until American President Theodore Roosevelt signed a treaty with Panama to resume the work. But until yellow fever, the major health problem in this tropical climate, was eradicated by W. C. Gorgas in 1904, the progress was slow and the fatality rate was high. Finally, ten years later, in 1914, the Panama Canal, the path between the two great oceans, opened to ships.
