Since each copy of Peter Lillback's book George Washington's Sacred Fire is about the same size as a Kenmore refrigerator, I haven't read the entire thing. What I have read has left me unimpressed, particularly the section on Washington's relationship with the Bible.
It seems to me that this material contains very basic errors in interpretation. Lillback reads far too much into the evidence he cites. To borrow a couple of terms from Biblical studies, what we have in Lillback's book is not exegesis of Washington's writings, but eisegesis. Whereas the exegete finds the meaning in the text and interprets it, eisegesis is reading one's own viewpoint into the text. Lillback's book bristles with excerpts from Washington's writings, but he finds meanings in those excerpts that aren't really there.
To take an example, Lillback flatly states that "George Washington believed in the biblical doctrine of original sin." Now, when we're talking about the doctrine of original sin, we're talking about something more than a belief that humans are fallible or even thoroughly evil. The doctrine is not just a belief about human nature, but a theological explanation of why humans are they way they are.
"Original sin" refers to the corruption of humanity resulting from the Fall of Man in Eden. Various theologians have formulated the concept in different ways. Some argue that humans are totally depraved as a result of primordial sin, while others that the Fall merely gave humans a propensity to sin. Some believe that mankind inherited Adam's guilt as well as his sinful nature, while others hold that his descendants merely inherited his tendency to do evil. But in all these cases, the doctrine of original sin involves an explanation of human nature that relies somehow on the primordial transgression in the Garden of Eden. To believe that mankind is flawed or evil is neither specifically Christian nor religious. A belief in original sin is not merely a belief in human depravity, but a belief about the reason for it.
Lillback makes a convincing case that Washington had a low view of human nature, which of course is hardly new information. He cites a number of excerpts from Washington's own writings, one of them from a letter sent to Lund Washington on December 17, 1778 in which the general said, "I see so many instances of the rascallity of Mankind, that I am almost out of conceit of my own species; and am convinced that the only way to make men honest, is to prevent their being otherwise, by tying them firmly to the accomplishmt. of their contracts."
It's worth noting that Washington's concern here is as much practical as metaphysical. Taken by itself, the statement comes across as an almost dogmatic formulation about human depravity. In reality, Washington's main point here is not about human nature, but his irritation at people who try to weasel their way out of a deal. Here's the statement embedded within its surrounding text. I apologize for the length of the excerpt, but there is simply no other way to appreciate the sentence's role in the letter:
I observe what you say in your Letter of the 2d. Instt. respecting specting [sic] the measurement of Marshalls land. I have already, in a letter about the last of November, given you full directions on this head, and in the one from Elizabethtown desired you to fix the quantity at 500 Acres, to save trouble; but to get it lower if you can, as, from Memory, I think the number of Acres less than that; but could tell almost to a certainty if I could have recourse to my Papers; however, I again repeat, that I had rather fix it at that quantity than let the matter lie open, or run the hazard of disputing with him about bounds. In short, than to delay a moment; for as I have mentioned to you in some former letters, I shall not be in the least surprized to hear that he has hit upon some expedient (if in consequence of his Sale he has not made purchases wch. he may be equally desirous of fulfiling) to get off his bargain with you; for when he comes to find that a barrel of Corn which usually sold for 10/ well now fetch £ 5 and so with respect to other Articles, he will soon discover that the great (nominal) price which he got for his land, is, in fact, nothing, comparitively speaking; for by the simple rule of preportion, he ought to have got £ 20 at least; as I would, in the best times of money, have given him 50/. or more for his land by the Acre. but this under the rose. We need not open his, or the eyes of others to these matters, if they do not already see them. This leads me to say, that I am afraid Jack Custis, in spite of all the admonition and advice I gave him against selling faster than he bought, is making a ruinous hand of his Estate; and if he has not closed his bargains beyond the possibility of a caval, I shall not be much surprized to hear of his having trouble with the Alexanders; notwithstanding your opinion of Bobs disposition to fulfil engagements. Jack will have made a delightful hand of it, should the money continue to depreciate as it has lately done, having Sold his own land in a manner for a Song, and be flung in his purchases of the Alexanders. If this should be the case, it will be only adding to the many proofs we dayly see of the folly of leaving bargains unbound by solemn covenants. I see so many instances of the rascallity of Mankind, that I am almost out of conceit of my own species; and am convinced that the only way to make men honest, is to prevent their being otherwise, by tying them firmly to the accomplishmt. of their contracts.
Washington's aim here was not to issue a decree about human depravity, but to remind his recipient how important it was to lock down business transactions with solid agreements.
Still, whatever the context, Washington is undeniably expressing an extremely pessimistic appraisal of human nature. What he is not doing is appealing to the doctrine of original sin in order to account for it. He doesn't mention a primordial Fall or inherited depravity. He simply states that you can't trust people, and that when you're doing business with them you have to take that fact into account.
Lillback also quotes a lengthy report submitted to a committee of Congress in 1778. Here Washington argues (as he argued often during the war) that it is necessary to create incentives to convince men to commit to lengthy terms of service in the army, since expecting them to do so without reward is naive: "It is vain to exclaim against the depravity of human nature on this account; the fact is so, the experience of every age and nation has proved it and we must in a great measure, change the constitution of man, before we can make it otherwise. No institution, not built on the presumptive truth of these maxims can succeed."
At first glance, this quote is a little more tantalizing. Washington even uses the term "depravity," with all its connotations of Calvinist anthropology. But once again, this statement that human nature is deeply flawed does not invoke any specifically Christian explanations for why it is flawed. Nowhere does Washington connect his belief in human corruption to the original act of sin in the Garden of Eden. He merely states that the corruption exists.
Finally, Lillback cites a letter from December 1782: "The most hardened villain, altho' he Sins without remorse, wishes to cloak his iniquity, if possible, under specious appearances; but when character is no more, he bids defiance to the opinions of Mankind, and is under no other restraint than that of the Law, and the punishments it inflicts."
In other words, a man will try to hide his wrongdoing to preserve his reputation, but when that's no longer a factor, "when character is no more," the only thing that will make him think twice is "the Law, and the punishments it inflicts." All this is textbook thinking for a Revolutionary officer. You can find similar sentiments about the importance of reputation in the letters of countless eighteenth-century aspiring gentlemen.
Once again, there is nothing in the passage that specifically relates to the doctrine of original sin. What we have is another observation about human nature with no reference to a primordial Fall or a specifically inherited propensity for evil.
In short, I think that in his attempt to paint Washington as a believer in original sin, Lillback is leaning on a very thin reed. He convincingly and correctly demonstrates that Washington believed in human depravity—but we've known this about him for quite some time. Lillback never ties these remarks to the specific theological assumptions that the doctrine of original sin demands. By this measure, anyone who placed little stock in mankind could theoretically qualify as a believer in original sin, whether he believed in the Edenic Fall or not. A disillusionment with mankind is an important corollary of a belief in original sin, but they're not the same thing.
Of course, we can find numerous instances in Washington's writings where there are clear and unmistakable references to Biblical passages. In a future installment we'll have a look at the way Lillback handles these references.

If Saturday's line-up marked a return to form after Friday's shortcomings, Sunday was something else. It always is. It's not known as Rock Day for no reason. We don't like rock at DiS though. So here's some indie and 'dance' reviews.
Mastodon: a
bit disappointing
Just kidding. With their ultra-math drumming and duelling bulldozer riffs, Mastodon play edgy and obscure metal at it's finest but seem to miss the cue here. Far from their exhilarating best, it's difficult to determine whether it's the new material or the sunshine that's fucking this shit up.
It's too early for Shitdisco, really. Their set is darker and more consciously 'neu-rave' than in February but for better or worse they still impress. Faris Rotter towers like a giant crow over Aphex Twin just to the left of me as the friendliest Glaswegians of the weekend whip out the cowbell for 'Disco Blood'.
Killswitch Engage
feel the 'burn
Dodging DiS' Canadian indie-pop hipsters Metric in the Radio 1 Tent in favour of Killswitch Engage's sodomising operatic hardcore was a debatable move. Getting belt-whipped by a passing stranger was far from the highlight of watching arguably the greatest metalcore band around from ripping the Main Stage a new arsehole. Staggeringly good and completely American. Fantastic stuff.
The On Offs play their tight, harmony-based lad-rock has the occasional twist to the standard time signatures, highlighting the Northampton trio's above-average musical abilities, but it's hard to shake the feeling that they should really just be playing in your local.
It should be illegal for a band to have as much energy as Switches. Both in their songs and their stage presence, they have an adrenaline rush that is matched by few, and it helps makes their music, high-octane pop-rock bringing to mind The Rakes, Weezer and Hot Hot Heat in different places, all the more enticing
Spank Rock are next, but I can only connect with their porno-hop fleetingly through the fug and their sampling of a track from a Magners ad repulses me. 'Rick Rubin' goes a long way to making things better, but there's nothing here that excites. The crowd is later helped along by two of grime's best acts: Sway and Lady Sovereign, the latter putting on a stunning display.
Despite her rowdy rude-girl tendencies, Sov is pleasant as well as supremely confident. All goes excellently until a polystyrene tray sailing overhead deposits tepid, congealed curry on yours truly mid-set. The smell is worse than vomit, so there's little else to do but go and get changed.
Location, Location, Location... context is such a powerful thing when it comes to live shows but so's a fucking great mind-squelching riff thrown in the air and ripped apart like Les Savy Fav lions let loose in a playground. Forward Russia in Leeds is like strawberries with cream. There are circle pits and fanboy passing out fits. Seriously special and a cock in the eye to the corporate machine.
Just when you were beginning to lose faith in mankind; it seems they find their shit detector just in time. Quite a crowd forms as The Lodger take to the stage, only for sixty percent of it to flee as the first twenty seconds of bland caterwauling pub-rock hits you like a rancid £4 burger to the face.
|GLC can't hide
With rumours of this being Hope Of The States' last ever show I go see them for the first time and discover hiding behind the sheen of overproduced singles a fantastic live ripping up of counterculture and which is instead big proper post-rock inspired pop songs etched with strings. Later Sam shouts in DiS' general direction that Broken Social Scene are the second most under-rated band in the world and part of me later realises he's maybe right about HOTS being the first.
Eight chavs in florescent yellow bibs chatting crude lyrics over backing tracks of other peoples songs isn't everyone's cup of Welsh brew. Goldie Lookin' Chain have one of the most animated crowds witnessed all weekend and I wish I was in Goldie Looking Chain. Being in Bullet For My Valentine is just as coveted. After emerging as one of the biggest British metal bands around at the moment, lots of people want to drink their Welshness. There's a massive crowd watching – all waiting for Slayer.
As Emily Haines breathily brings 'Anthems for a Seventeen Year Old Girl' to an end, grown men with big bear/beer guts are in tears, texting lost lovers and breathing in deep sighs through their nose. And then they raise their arms in the air and lose control so much so they dance as the trumpets of 'Shoreline' rise into the top of the rock circus tent. Broken Social Scene create the perfect festival spectacle and set to get lost in.
At least Mr Araya
changed out of
his Spongebob
Squarepants shirt
Good Shoes are probably the perfect band to entice pop-fans into rock music. They have the look, spiky, inoffensive vocals, and tunes that are catchy with minimal actual songwriting. If Razorlight are a little too intricate for you then Good Shoes could fit like a glove.
If Razorlight aren't your cup of tea then maybe one might tempt sir into a slice of (motherfucking) Slayer? What is there to say about these 45 minutes? There are several thousand people in attendance purely for this set. It's fucking Slayer. That's the end of the story. For many, it's time to go home.
Call me a cynic, but it's hard not to be suspicious of a band when they look this pretty. The acid test? Close your eyes and ask yourself whether it sounds as good. In the case of Dead Disco's upcoming single, 'Automatic', the answer's a resounding sexy-pop yes. Now open your eyes again, and enjoy. Not like that.
|Dead Disco: down boys
The very arrival of Vib Gyor on the Topman Stage provokes a mass ruckus in the front row, but this isn't fight music. Instead, it's an ambitious, epic three-guitar assault from a Leeds quintet who've been spoken about in hushed tones for years. Think Radiohead, think Flaming Lips, think... bloody good.
When I return, it is with the intention of going to see The Klaxons, but several thousand other people have much the same idea. The Carling Tent struggles and ultimately fails to hold the hordes and the way that Klaxons blare their death-ray neu-rave compels my loyalty even to that genre name. Glowsticks fly and splatter neon goo across chests and faces, the circle is a swirling mass of colour and sweat-built dancing pits, black holes that work with infectious bobbing basslines and searing static to suck and steer you in. Blowing my suspicions of being a 'one-song band' out of orbit, they are the firework at the end of a slowburning weekend.
Shortly after their departure, Steve Lamacq is stood alongside me, nodding in approval before mentioning how My Chemical Romance have the smallest Main Stage Sunday audience he's ever seen, and that most are just there to bottle them off. You have to feel sorry for Slayer, being billed beneath them.
Kooks: too many
spoil the broth
As the sun sets today The Kooks' performance could be much more accurately dissected could we get anywhere near the bastard tent. As with many of the bands that skyrocket to success with a first album they basically play the lot, with the four singles virtually inaudible over the incessant crowd. Not ideal.
Lamacq also says I'm not allowed to slag off Larrikin Love, but it turns out I had no reason to anyway. Despite playing to a smaller crowd than the preceding Klaxons, Larrikin Love create a do-si-do frenzy, bringing with them a horde of violins, spoons and singers. Even 'Downing St. Kindling', which, on record, preaches revolution with all the conviction of a Blair campaign promise, is bought to life. If only they could capture the vibe on record instead of sounding like a ska-pop tribute to The Libertines, I wouldn't find them so irritatingly shit.
If Larrikin Love's set was weak songs played brilliantly, the opposite applies to Soulwax's Niteversions set. Though the concept of playing a live rendition of the club version of an electronica album sounds interesting, the reality proves not quite so appealing as wave upon wave of hypnotic, tuneless, ceaseless beats pierce the air. A lack of variety doesn't stop the crowds enjoying every second, but I can't shake the feeling a normal Soulwax set would've beaten it.
Eddie Vedder:
grunge legend
The same could be said for the Dewaele brothers' headline set. Normally full of fast and furious alternative mash-ups, much of 2ManyDJs' hour on the decks is spent mixing club anthems together in the more conventional sense. You can't help but feel slightly teased.
A tease is not what Pearl Jam are about. This is the closing set of Reading Festival and it turns out to be the best of the weekend. Playing an even more perfect mixture of old and new than Muse did the night before, the experienced American create the legendary festival atmosphere that everyone loves. It's that feeling where your hairs really do stand up, because you can feel it and you're amazed that it's happening, and you're almost close to crying because it's all just getting too much. You're witnessing something really special. This is history.
Pulling away from microphone, self-censoring himself during 'Jeremy', Eddie Vedder forgets for a moment that this is the UK and he really can swear in front of 80,000 people but it's fine because everyone's already singing the words. It's something to behold. It only happens once a year.
There is an mutual appreciation here that no other band has found all weekend. This is what this festival is all about and it's a shame that we had to wait so long for it.

By Angela Woodward
Fall semester has just begun at Ohio University, but OHIO is already gearing up for November's International Education Week celebration, which this year will include a competition that will award the winning team an overseas trip to participate in a global health experience.
The Ohio University Global Health Case Competition is a unique opportunity for OHIO graduate and undergraduate students to research global health issues and develop innovative solutions to some of today's global health challenges. Students will work in teams, and members of the winning team will be awarded sponsored travel to participate in an overseas global health activity in which they will implement their solution in collaboration with students and partners from the host country.
This is the first time Ohio University is holding this type of competition, which is being sponsored by OHIO's Global Health Initiative, a partnership of the College of Health Sciences and Professions and the Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine, in collaboration with the Center for International Studies.
According to Tania Basta, the Global Health Case Competition is designed to promote awareness of 21st-century global health issues, to introduce students to the diverse factors that affect decision-making, and to encourage students from different academic disciplines to collaborate on finding solutions to global health challenges. Basta is an associate professor in OHIO's Department of Social and Public Health and is a faculty co-chair of the Global Health Case Competition Committee along with Calvin James, an associate professor in and chair of the Department of Biomedical Sciences at the Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine.
"We hope that this experience will change students' perspectives about other health professionals as well as enhance their understanding of the importance of interdisciplinary work," said Basta. "We also hope that it increases their interest in global health issues and will facilitate travel abroad either as a result of winning the case competition or on a future study abroad trip."
The Global Health Case Competition will be held in November with case study presentations and the announcement of the winning team planned for OHIO's International Education Week celebration, Nov. 15-20.
The competition is open to undergraduate and graduate students from all areas of study and from all of OHIO's six campuses. Student participants must be enrolled full time for fall semester, and post-doctoral fellows are not eligible to participate.
Students participating in the Global Health Case Competition will work in four-person teams. In the spirit of collaboration, each team must include students from at least two of OHIO's colleges and must draw from at least four different academic disciplines.
"Students should participate in this competition because it will help them understand different perspectives," said Basta. "For example, a nursing student may be working with a health communication student and a psychology student. It may be very eye-opening for these students to learn that they are all working toward the same health outcomes, just from different paths and perspectives."
A Global Health Case Competition kickoff event will be held from noon to 1:30 p.m. Oct. 3 in Grover W123 and will provide an opportunity to meet the competition organizers as well as to speak with other students interested in forming a team.
All students interested in participating in the competition must register individually by Oct. 20. Registration will be done online at http://www.ohio.edu/globalhealth/educational-opportunities/international-programs/GHcasecompetition.cfm.
There will be three options for registration:
The deadline for teams to register is Oct. 27.
Teams will receive the competition rules and guidelines as well as details about the specific global health case by Nov. 6. They will then have two weeks to develop a presentation outlining their solutions to the case based on the research they conducted using various resources.
Teams will present their solutions on Nov. 20 during Competition Day and will be judged by a panel of OHIO faculty members. Teams will be judged on creativity, innovation, cultural appropriateness, clarity, quantitative and qualitative analysis, implementation strategies, and delivery. All of a team's members must be present at the competition.
The winning team will receive sponsored travel overseas, during which they will implement their solution to the global health case. The overseas trip will be held in May or June 2015, and upon their return the winning team will be expected to present their results and share their experiences at various Ohio University events.
When asked what she hopes students participating in this competition as well as members of the OHIO community take away from this experience, Basta said, "We live in a global society, and we will be interacting more and more on a global level. We cannot just work in our own little bubble with people in our own field. We must think and work globally with individuals from a variety of disciplines in order to truly facilitate appropriate responses to global health needs."
The Global Health Case Competition is just one component of Ohio University's International Education Week festivities. Co-sponsored by the U.S. Department of State and Department of Education, International Education Week was established 15 years ago as an opportunity to celebrate the benefits of international education and exchange worldwide.
At Ohio University, International Education Week is funded by the Senior International Management Team and includes many of the University's colleges and departments, as well as its regional campuses.
For more information on the Global Health Case Competition, visit http://www.ohio.edu/globalhealth/educational-opportunities/international-programs/GHcasecompetition.cfm.
Ohio University's Global Health Initiative is a partnership between the College of Health Sciences and Professions and the Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine, in collaboration with the Center for International Studies.
The Global Health Initiative began two years ago and seeks to engage OHIO faculty and students in multi-disciplinary global health education, research and outreach. Its goals are to build awareness of global health issues, to prepare OHIO students to work with diverse and underserved populations, and to foster an understanding of the connections among health policy, sociocultural, political and environmental factors.
The Global Health Initiative offers a number of global health programs and educational opportunities that involve students, faculty and staff in research, education and outreach activities abroad and in immigrant communities in the United States. For example, this past summer OHIO faculty and students participated in health-related study abroad experiences offered through the Global Health Initiative in Botswana, Ecuador and England.
In addition, the Global Health Initiative launched its Undergraduate Global Health Certificate Program this past spring. The program is designed to expose OHIO students in all fields of study to health on a more global level. The 19-credit-hour program also includes a two-week capstone/field experience.
A graduate-level Global Health Certificate is tentatively scheduled to be available in 2015.
For more information on the Global Health Initiative, visit http://www.ohio.edu/globalhealth/.
For more information on the Global Health Certificate, visit http://www.ohio.edu/globalhealth/educational-opportunities/degree-programs/certificate.cfm.
The International Education Week Committee invites faculty to incorporate International Education Week (IEW) into their curriculum. Speakers and panels during IEW will cover issues impacting our world, many of them timeless, cloaked in emotion and the cause of bitter divisions. The IEW Committee encourages faculty to review its list of speakers and resources and weave the topics into their courses. IEW events and speakers are listed at http://www.ohio.edu/iew/index.cfm.
Faculty can introduce topics, and IEW will provide a forum for further exploration. Several themes identified include war and peace, global health, food security/insecurity, violence, crisis mitigation, advocacy, tolerance, the Middle East conflict, and African motherhood.
This year's IEW Committee identified several resources that students can read, watch and discuss before Ohio University's IEW keynote speaker, Izzeldin Abuelaish, presents on Nov. 19. His experiences and his reaction to tragedy can launch course discussions and assignments. Those resources and others identified by the IEW Committee are listed at http://www.ohio.edu/iew/resources.cfm.

A fugitive sex offender from Canada who fled south of the border after removing his electronic monitoring bracelet will not face charges in the sexual assault of a teenage boy in Seattle.
The Seattle Times reports prosecutors there say they don't have enough evidence to support the charges against Michael Sean Stanley.
Seattle police arrested Stanley on Oct. 22 after a series of calls about noise in a west Seattle alley.
Stanley was accused of threatening someone who asked him to be quiet, but after his arrest, he was also accused of luring a 16-year-old boy to an alley, giving him alcohol and sexually assaulting him.
He is currently serving a sentence for harassment and resisting arrest, but the newspaper reports that he is scheduled to be released next week.
U.S. officials allowed Stanley, who is a U.S. citizen, into the country after determining he was not the subject of an extraditable arrest warrant.
The prosecutor's office in Seattle announced its decision on Friday.
"Attempts to prove the case through forensic science were unsuccessful," Dan Donohoe, a spokesman for Prosecutor Dan Satterberg, told the Seattle Times.
"There were multiple inconsistencies … there was insufficient evidence to prove a forcible sexual assault occurred."
Stanley has a criminal record in Canada that dates back to 1987. He last received a 32-month prison term for assault and forcible confinement involving two mentally challenged boys.
Parole board records say he lured the boys into a washroom, blew crack smoke in their faces and then sexually assaulted them.
Parole records also detail the sexual assault of an elderly woman and charges he exposed himself to kids.
Police in Edmonton said they warned their U.S. counterparts in October that Stanley might try to cross the border after finding his electronic-monitoring bracelet had been cut off in Lloydminster, on the Alberta-Saskatchewan boundary.
Alberta Justice said it would not seek Stanley's extradition to Canada because the breach of recognizance, mischief and driving charges he faced north of the border didn't "warrant engaging the extradition process."

Yup, that be their names; I remember "Cry" especially. They managed to pull off morphing before the computer technology for it was available.
That is one of my favourite pop videos of all time. I think I spotted 'Trevor Horn' near the end...he's an English pop music record producer, songwriter and musician who was involved with 'Yes', 'The Art of Noise' and 'The Buggles'.

So, after 2 months of living in the middle of nowhere, the end is in sight! i recaptured enough lizards to make a fasible sample, altough not as many as I would have liked. This is pretty impressive considering that I think I've recaptured more than most people woud have expected, particularly considering that the weather got so horrible and hot and humid that the lizards were only really trappable between 6am and aroun 8:30, so I spent a lot of days getting up at 5 and rushing off to the rocks that were already hot and steaming. I'm sure the humidity is good for me, sweating out al the toxins and so on! All in all it was pretty unpleasant and I felt like I wasn't going to make it to the end here without deregistering quietly and moving to sweden or something.
I've also been collecting insects, which hasn't been going too well as I'm trying to catch the things that i've seen the lizards eat, but all those insects are really really tiny, and hard to catch, and to get enough to do a real chemical analsis when I get back, I'm going to need millions.
Watching the lizards has been a whole bundle of fun too... they're really skittish and its hard to get into a position where I can actually see them well enough to identify individuals. on top of that they move superfast so I can't stay in one spot to watch them, and they generally run around for a minute or two and then vanish into a crevice, only emerging afer a few hours.
Then on thursday it started clouding over. By the evening it was freezing cold.By morning it was still freezing and rainy and we had no power. Ingrid decided to go to nelspruit to have unch with a friend. An hour after she left we had a downpour like I've never seen before. The power came back on in the early afternoon and there was no sign of Ingrid. I did all my work in a hurry so that if the power went out again it would be ok. She got back after dark, all the power in Nelspruit was out, so there was a gridlock around every intersection.
It rained for two more days, torrential rain that made me wonder if the Lowveld gets a monsoon season. We even had purple sky at one stage! It was quite scary! And, contrary to our normal experience the power stayed on! I was quite happy about thata, although also glad that I'd made the trek to Kaapmuiden a few days before to get ive to pack around my samples in the freezer in case it went off again. Kaapmuiden is a tiny tiny town around a train station. When I say tiny I mean it makes Kamieskrron look like a thriving metropolis! It's quite scary too, all sort of ding and dodgy, complete with random dogs running around. I can't even say around the streets because there aren't any. It's a train station, about 10 houses, a bottle store and a general store and that's it.
Yesterday was better and I went out bug-hunting, and today is freezing and clouody, so i'm not too sure if it'll clear up enugh to go out today. But I cna't be lazy because I need to get everything done before I GO HOME! i'm so glad I'll be able to sleep in my own bed, see my family and friends and animals again!
Of course the fact that I'm looking forward to it means that I'll get home, be exhausted and grumpy, and then fight with everybody I care about. fun times!

nearly there!
So, after 2 months of living in the middle of nowhere, the end is in sight! i recaptured enough lizards to make a fasible sample, altough not as many as I would have liked. This is pretty impressive considering that I think I've recaptured more than most people woud have expected, particularly considering that the weather got so horrible and hot and humid that the lizards were only really trappable between 6am and aroun 8:30, so I spent a lot of days getting up at 5 and rushing off to the rocks that were already hot and steaming. I'm sure the humidity is good for me, sweating out al the toxins and so on! All in all it was pretty unpleasant and I felt like I wasn't going to make it to the end here without deregistering quietly and moving to sweden or something.

Tuesday, November 13, 2007
Since I got here, almost 2 months ago, every evening/late afternoon I've taken a walk. It varies, from rather ambitions exploring and finding all kinds of new outcrops and plants and running ito kudu ALL the time, to days that have been hard work and i'm feeing a bit down so I'll walk to one of the outcrops, lie on my back and stare up at the beautiful blue sky until it starts getting dark when I'll walk back. I always hate going back, into the brightly lit house. I take a torch with me, but rarely use it, unless I left a bit later than usual and then get a bit more ambitious than I'd intended. There are a lot of big loose rocks on the roads and paths here, and it can be really dangerous to walk in the dark, particularly with my track record for injury!
For a few weeks I would walk along a really narrow path, through grass that is as tall as me, to a flat bit of road that isn't too rocky, where i would run for a bit. That was fine, but when I got really badly sunburnt and sunstroke it had to stop because moving too much hurt. I'm still relishing the ability to sleep on my back, twist to grab something, bend over...
Lately I've been pretty lazy in my walks. Its been raining a lot, and I got frustrated, but never walked far. When it doesn't rain it gets so blisteringly hot (and humid) that I get home from the field and collapse, having had at least 2 1/2 litres of water in the four hours that I was out and still being thirsty.
Today was a bad day. It was raining when i woke up, so i went back to sleep. an hour later the sun was coming out, so I dashed off, set up traps and it because so hot that nothing moved, and I caught a few lizards for the Masters student, but nothing for me, which was exhausting and frustrating! I came home, did some work with the lizards that I have here and slept until I had to work on the lizard (yes, just one) that I caught yesterday. After helping the masters student (who officially doesn't lift a finger to help me, and it really annoys me) with the lizards I had caught for her, I went for a walk.
There is a tiny little outcrop a few hundred metres from the house, where there is a tiny population of lizards, with one male who I hae never been able to catch. I figured I'd go there, its a fitting place for frustration. In the first few weeks when I was really upset with the other student I would go down there and call Lara for smpathy and advice. I got there in under a minute and then looked up at the road. The first time I went walking was during the first week that I was here. I walked long the road, took a little path and got totally lost in a clump of trees, but managed to find my way back because the lights in the house were on.
I realised that i hadn't taken a proper walk in ages, so I followed the road around the small loop, which goes past the closest outcrop and then back to the house. it's a hilly walk, but not long, probably around 2km or so. I've done the worst parts carrying equipment before and survived. So I walked the loop, stopping only to take a large roll of rusty barbed wire out of the road (I have to dodge it when I'm driving to the farthest outcrop every day and it gets quite hair-raising!). By the time I got back it was almost dark. the frogs were out in full force and it was deafening, but not unpleasant. the moon is a crescent, and looks bigger here than it is at home. I could almost imagine the little kid from the dreamworks logo sitting in it and fishing!
So that was my day!

The little things in life
I'm sorry I haven't posted in a while! I was planning on using this as a record of my first field season, but it just hasn't happened. Firstly, everything here is always hectic, and secondly... life in the field is tremendously dramatic and exciting when you're there, but in actual fact, when I try to explain what's been going on, I always realise how incredible boring it is. Here's my basic schedule:
06h30: wake up, get dressed, eat breakfast, pack equipment for the field
07h30: leave for the field
07h40 - 08h00: walk from car to field site, taking two trips because of all the equipment
08h00 - 12h00: trap lizards, getting sunburnt, exhausted and often injured in the process ( I consider a day that I don't bleed as a day wasted)
13h00: leave field site, get back to the house and process samples. If possible take a nap on he dodgy futon couch thing (photos will be added as soon as I get home to faster connection speed!
14h00: start other work - either processing lizards - which can take hours, or else walking around the farm for a few hours with traps, trying to get extra lizards.
17h00: start finishing up the previous days lizards, do readings on the other student's lizards
23h00: bed
That's it, 7 days a week! if it rains, I'll use the opportunity to catch up on sleep, get my work done slightly earlier and take walks for fun instead of for work. Nothing too exciting to write about! Occasionally something will happen - like I'll be bleeding more profusely than usual, or the time I got sunstroke and was unable to sleep for 3 days because I was too burnt to lie down in any workable posiion. Or the power failure the other night, which had a nasty effect on our food which i only realised 2 days ago, after cooking with some of said food and becoming violently ill for two days. There was also the day I pioneered a new lizard-trapping strategy, of hiding in bushes and then jumping out to scare lizards onto traps. it worked very well until I realsied that sme of the farmers from next door had just driven past, and found me tumbling out of bushes to be mildly amusing!
I can't really think of anything else interesting.
Its coming close to the end of this season's work. I'm a bit stressed, I have a lot to do in the next 3 weeks, and am not nearly where I need to be. We lost 6 of the last 8 days to rain, which also doesn't really help too much! I can't wait to get home and see everyone again, but I'm also dreading all of this being over. Its kind of nice, being in charge of my own schedule, knowing that if I don't work hard enough I have to answer to myself. I've also grown to like the farm, its really beautiful, especially at aroun 5 or so in the afternoon, when I take a walk, and its all quiet and cool, and still. I really love the fact that if I can't sleep, I can also go for a walk, without worrying about anything more than disturbing a sleepy kudu along the way. It took the farmers next door 5 weeks to realise that we were here, we're so isolted. It'll be hard to go home to the noise and the rush of joburg, where there are people everywhere and traffic and the noise which gave me such a headace when I went home for a couple of days a little while ago. The idea of having to switch my priorities from catching lizards to having a social calendar and christmas shopping and having people around all the time... I miss the people back home lke crazy, but I'm not sure I can handle going home just yet!

Celebrating illustration, design, cartoon and comic art of the mid-20th century.

Bob Peak: Breaking into the Top Tier
The bizarre contradiction to Peak's lack of presence during that period is that when you do find him, he is invariably illustrating for some of the most high profile of ad accounts, like this Pall Mall ad below.
In his article in Illustration magazine #6, Thomas Peak, the artist's son, writes about his father's frustration at not breaking into the top tier of the illustration business:
Dad wanted to ... produce more expressive work. He was often told, "There's no market for your flamboyant work. You're going to have to pull in your horns."
To appreciate the obstacles Peak faced, take a look at the Mal Murley illustration below, far more typical of the popular illustration style of the time, and the style one finds on almost all Pall Mall ads from the mid-50's. The art director who hired Peak for that one ad above was going out on a limb.
Tom Peak writes, "Bob made an effort to conform to this standard, and was able to receive a few early assignments."
The Coke ad below might be an example of that effort. Again, its an astonishingly high profile client for a relatively unknown illustrator - one who didn't have the presence at the time of, say, Al Parker or Coby Whitmore, in America's major magazines. That Peak received such assignments at all is a little surprising and speaks to both his determination and the skill and connections of the Fredman-Chaite Studio salesmen.
The same year (the same month, in fact, the same week) that Bob Peak's Pall Mall ad appeared in The Saturday Evening Post, Jack Potter, who was producing a series of ads for Coca Cola, had the piece below on the back cover of The Saturday Evening Post. It was 1957 and both young artists had made the journey from Art Center School in California to New York City, Potter arriving just a year or two ahead of Peak.
Dan Zalkus, a former student of Jack Potter's who later became his close friend wrote to me that, "Potter mentioned Bob Peak but only a few times. If memory serves they went to school together. Peak was very focused on being commercial and getting as much work as he could. If what I heard was correct Peak struggled at first and then came to NY to visit Potter in order to see what he was up too. After that Peak started getting more work."
And in his article, Tom Peak writes that during this same period Peak was "dissatisfied with his work, however, he made the decision that he would have to be true to himself, or he may as well give up and move back to California."
Was there something about that meeting with Jack Potter that fomented Peak's resolve to succeed, and on his own terms?
Whatever the case, it was during this period when "Bob proceeded to burn all of the illustrations he had made to that point, and vowed from that moment on to only do the kind of work that he wanted to do, spending the next six weeks perfecting his style."
"An art director and a salesman at [Fredman] Chaite Studios took notice of Bob's paintings and appreciated what he was trying to do with his work. The salesman took a stack of Bob's sketches over to Martin Stevens, a friend and art director at Old Hickory Bourbon."
"At that time, the company was looking for an illustrator to create images for their new ad campaign. After that initial meeting, Bob received an assignment to create some concept drawings for Old Hickory."
The client was also considering the reknowned French artist René Bouché but "In approaching the assignment, Bob created an unusual picture depicting men with hook noses and big ears, holding their hands up in front of their faces. It was a departure from the images of beautiful people often seen in commercial illustration at that time. As it turned out, his unconventional style appealed to the people at Old Hickory, and he was chosen over Bouché for the final job."
"Using the bourbon campaign as a springboard, it was only a matter of months before Bob found his illustrations on the back covers of Look and Life magazines, and he went from making virtually nothing a week to making over $40,000 a year. In quick succession, Bob Peak had established himself as a name in the commercial art world."
The Old Hickory campaign happened in 1958 and 1959. During the mid-50's Bob Peak had been ready to take on the world. Now, with a new decade fast approaching, it seemed the world was at last ready to take on Bob Peak.

I didn't see this post before I made my comment on your earlier Peak one.
What year is the Peak coke ad from? I'm curious because I know in 1957 Potter did a series of them.
- Anonymous12:02 PM
Sorry about that. Didn't mean to make my post above anonymous. I hit the send button too soon.
Hi Dan;ReplyDelete
I tried to locate some info about the Coke ad online. I was only able to find a reference to Bob Peak Coke ads at Plan 59 (see my sidebar for the link), showing two other examples of Peak Coke ads, both dated 1957.
Maybe Plan 59 can give you an exact date on the scans they have...ReplyDelete
Charlie Allen contributed the piece I used, which he clipped back in the day for his own files - and of course he would not have been concerned with making sure a date was attached. Sorry I can't be of more help. L:-(
- Anonymous2:35 PM
Thanks for this! And, thanks for not pulling in your horns. I know Peak was also the envy of young hands, too. Me.ReplyDelete
I still have several of his print (TV Guide, Tme, McCall's) pieces in my morgue. His West Side Story, My Fair Lady and Camelot posters we're a kick in my conventional little head... wow, wow, wow.
Regarding the Coke series, Coca-Cola decided to switch artists mid-stream, canceling the balance of Peak's illustrations and turning the campaign over to a young artist in Detroit named Bernie Fuchs. That switch took place shortly before Fuchs moved to NY in 1959.ReplyDelete
Looking at the rapid turnover in artists (from Potter to Peak to Fuchs in just a few years) you can really see Madison Avenue beginning to ramp up for the crazy '60s, flailing around for the very newest style. It seems like Madison Avenue hyperventilated throughout most of the '60s.
Peak was extremely upset about being displaced by Fuchs, and came roaring back a few years later with a series of fantastic, turbo-charged ads for 7up.
Thanks for filling in those blanks, David... I just saw some of those 7-Up ads for the first time since beginning the research for this week's series and 'turbo-charged' is an apt description!ReplyDelete
I don't recall the Coke ad by Peak, but when I was an illustration student, I specifically recall the Old Hickory ad depicting the guy with the red and white ski sweater. I loved the composition and confident drawing of the figures... and still do. It is my guess after looking in my clip files, that Jack Potter was the first to come up with those gorgeous color combinations that we see in that Coke ad by him... in fact all his Coke ads. After seeing Potter's Coke ad series, I began noticing Peak using fuchsia, oranges and purples together, similar to Potter's color schemes. After 1960, Peak's talent exploded like a runaway locomotive heading downhill. He could make a simple situation dramatic, exciting and with the flair of a world renown rock star! He seemed to be determined to outdo himself on each new assignment, once he began his roll.ReplyDelete
I was less enthusiastic about his later psychedelic period, and then his airbrush work... never the less, he had a very impressive career, and was a great inspiration to myself, and other illustrators.

Dissipate said:Was I really supposed to hit a soft 18 vs. a dealer up of 3? Obviously, my double down option went away since I had already hit once.
BlackJack_Ed said:The proper way to play a two-card soft 18 against a 3 is to double. We all agree with that, correct?
If you can't double (because your soft 18 consists of three cards, or maybe because the rules don't allow soft doubling) then at least hit it. Don't stand.
A soft 18 against a dealer upcard of a 3 is such an advantageous situation, that you want to get as much money on the table as possible. It is so advantageous for you, that doubling, and taking just ONE more card, is the correct play. But if you can't double, then at least do the next best thing and STILL take another card.
Put it another way... if taking another card and doubling your bet is best, surely taking another card (but not doubling) can't be wrong! What's important here is to take another card.
In a multi-deck game (and probably even a single deck game) it is insignificant if your soft 18 consists of two or three cards. You must still hit it. Yes, double if you can, triple if you can, heck, quadruple if they will allow it... but you must hit it nontheless.

Tough economic times are forcing the Neuse Riverkeeper Foundation to cut positions and restructure its focus.
Tough economic times are forcing the Neuse Riverkeeper Foundation to cut positions and restructure its focus.
Former Executive Director George Matthis worked his last day in the organization�s Raleigh office last Wednesday after directing the financially stressed environmental nonprofit for just over a year.
He said his departure marked �the end of a frustrating and complex year or so of trying to manage a struggling organization that has the potential to do great things for the Neuse River and those that work, live and play along her banks.
�Unfortunately I will not be along for the ride,� Matthis continued. �I wish the foundation success and hope it will survive its current financial crisis to again be an organization that can be looked upon as a champion for the river.�
Foundation President Jim Starr of New Bern confirmed that Matthis was no longer with the organization.
�We have no immediate plans to replace George as executive director,� he said. �We are looking at our options, and you can expect an announcement in about a month.�
Starr said the foundation will keep one staff member in Raleigh and will maintain its New Bern office with support staff and volunteers manning it.
New Bern-based Lower Riverkeeper Mitch Blake of Chocowinity has been tapped to chart the largely volunteer organization�s course going forward in the short term.
Starr said, �Our direction is completely unchanged. I think we�ll be able to get everything done we planned to do this year. We will continue our advocacy plans going to protect the river and grow our education program, especially for kids.�
Blake said Saturday, �We are a 30-year-old organization, and some of the grant funding for programs we operate is long gone and we never shut down the program. With budget cuts, we are forced to look at the programs and phase some out.�
Matthis said financial problems already were apparent when he retired from the N.C. Department of Natural Resources and moved into the foundation�s Raleigh office, but he had hoped the foundation board could re-energize fundraising efforts.
�Even though my spirit was dampened frequently in past months, my passion for protection of the environment never waned and is as strong today as it was when I became executive director in January of 2012,� Matthis said. �Regardless of the future of this foundation, I will continue as an advocate and protector of the Neuse River and the environment of North Carolina.�
Blake said, �We�re working on a collaborative effort with the N.C. Division of Water Quality and others� including the Division of Fisheries Management and private groups focused on wetlands restoration.
�Everybody�s budget has been cut,� he said. �We�re working with them on a goal to get all the science-based community with a piece of knowledge about the river to come together to the table and make up the shortfall.�
Blake said they hope to strengthen the focus on water quality in the feeder creeks, �start looking from the top down in the upper reaches of the tributaries to try and find out the problems producing pollution and fish kills as soon as we can.�
�RiverWatch will be restructured and redirected to serve the basin better,� he said. �We are going to form a Trent River initiative to look at water quality up the Trent, a major stem that hasn�t had a lot of focus.�
The goal will be to educate all of the user groups of the river, which requires that they integrate the foundation�s two databases of volunteers, Blake said. That is underway now.
The Upper Riverkeeper position has been vacant for some time. Program Coordinator Matthew Starr could be formally assigned to that role if the foundation board, headed by Jim Starr (no relation) of New Bern so determines.

Donald Trump is hitting back at the former defense secretary who called him "beyond repair" when it comes to national security.
Robert Gates served under presidents of both parties. He wrote in the Wall Street Journal on Saturday that Trump is "stubbornly uninformed" about the world.
Trump first swiped back on Twitter, then went further at an evening rally in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
U.S. & World
The Republican nominee suggests that Gates "probably has a problem we don't know about" and claims that he would be "so much better at what he's doing" than Gates.
Trump also called the former secretary of defense "a nasty guy" and "an absolute clown." And he said, "I don't like critics."
Earlier Saturday, Trump addressed the Remembrance Project in Houston. That's an organization founded to advocate for tougher immigration laws in honor of those killed by people in the country illegally. Trump says he is "shining a national spotlight" on Americans killed by immigrants living in the United States illegally.
The Republican nominee says "not one more American life should be given up in the name of open borders."
Trump told the group most "politicians ignore your cries, but I never will."
The Republican nominee has appeared with the group before and has made its cause part of his platform. But his position on immigration has shifted repeatedly in recent weeks.

Palin Comparrison: An Examplary Lesson In Class
"The men and women who serve in our battlefields may be Democrats and
Republicans and Independents, but they have fought together and bled
together and some died together under the same proud flag. They have
not served a Red America or a Blue America – they have served the
United States of America."
— Barack Obama, August 28, 2008
We here at RSBS realize
that we have spent a great amount of time this season in what some
simple-minded individuals might consider exacerbating the divide
between hard working baseball-loving Americans. But let me just clear
the air and say that what they see as divisive, we see as unifying. We do what we have to because we can, we will and most of all: we care. When we see injustices, when we endure the pains of partisanship, hear the cries of the people, we have little choice but to report the truth and expound cautionary messages.
And sometimes we might just piss you off.
Well, not today, folks.
After last night's call for unifying hope among color and party lines, I have nothing in my heart but love. Apparently, I wasn't the only one:
as you already know: I'm no idiot. It is painfully clear that John
McCain's "congratulations on a job well done, Senator" was as smarmy
and spurious as it was preplanned beyond anality. But I'm feeling
splendid today. I'm feeling patriotic. I'm feeling swept up in an
emotional wind of change. I'm ready to reach across the aisle and be
nice to someone for no other reason than to be nice to someone. And
just for today, I want to believe that McCain's gesture was at least
rooted in good will.
So, here's my crack at it:
Dear Cub Fans:
have a really great team this year. I'm not just saying that. You
do. Your team has the best record in baseball (at the time of this
publication) and they have what it takes to go a long way on both sides
of the field. The Cubs' pitching is great. Cubs' hitting is timely.
Your team has a wise and great leader in Lou. I know I give you a hard
time for the banality of your collective souls, for being obnoxious, for your whining and crying all the time; but hey, I just want to tell you job well done on supporting your team for actually playing well. That's so good of you.
Dear McCain Campaign:
You did a really cool thing in choosing Sarah Palin as your Vice Presidential nominee.
Job well done. I'm not even going to mention that your whole campaign
platform against Senator Obama revolves around his alleged
'inexperience' in politics. And on that note, I won't bring up the
fact that she has next to no high profile 'experience' in
leadership. And believe me, I'm not going to waste time calling this
move what it probably is: a meager attempt to shift focus from the
strong warning shot of change resonating throughout this great land.
Yes, Senator McCain. You really are a maverick. You are awesome.
Dear Yankees Fans:
your team isn't so hot this year. So what. Jason Giambi's fashion
statement is pretty cool. Sure, it will never match the infamy of Giambi-on-Juice, but hey, at least it reminds us of one of the greatest Yankees to ever wear the pinstripes, right? Okay, so the Giambi mustache won't be a classic; but it will be remembered.
And in a season that has a million reasons why you'd want to forget it,
at least Giambi came through in the clutch by taking your mind off all
of your woes, if just for a day.
Dear A.J. Pierzynski Haters:
really admire your persistence and passion for hating one baseball
player so much that you would comment on this blog by using the phrase "AJ P is a piece of crap" (see comments, fourth one from the bottom). That is classy. That is brilliant. And it stands out as a truly mesmerizing use of the English language. Job well done, A.J. haters.
Dear Detroit Tigers:
You guys are doing an awesome job of acting like you still care about
the remainder of the 2008 season. I know that your thoughts are really
on what type of yacht you'll be purchasing for that winter cruise
around the Venezuelan coast, what with all that money you raked in this season without having to… well, you know, win
games. Believe me, I think I know how hard it is to feign interest in
something that I'd rather not be doing just so I could collect some
dough, so I commend you all for your standout steadfastness in pretend attentiveness. That's what I call a job well done!
Don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.

The How To:
- First cut various lengths of the different ribbon.....one for each ornament.
- Tie them onto an existing curtain rod. Be sure to mix the different lengths and color of the ribbons around as you tie them on.
**Note** If you are not using ornament hooks, you will need to string the ribbon through the ornament before you tie it on the curtain rod.
- Put a hook on the ornament and then hook it onto the ribbon. Again, mix the different sizes and colors of the ornaments up....so 2 of the same are not next to each other.
-For an added touch, I put a strand of beads on the curtain rod. Kind of twisting and draping it as I went.
And here's the finished product. Very simple to do and it used things that I already had on hand around the house.

On to Denver
Postseason Memories
Scott Franzke is the radio voice of the Phillies who's just completed his fourth season in the booth with Larry Andersen. The 37-year-old Texas native is a graduate of SMU with a degree in broadcast journalism.
What is your favorite memory of October baseball as a child?
"I grew up following the Rangers, so no October memories there. In Texas, October was for football. I think the '86 series between the Mets and the Red Sox was the first that I really followed, pitch-by-pitch. I had a friend who was a Sox fan; but more than anything, I was drawn to the drama of it all. Whether it was Buckner's error in '86; Gibson in '88 (as a Rangers fan I didn't much care for A's closer Dennis Eckersley); the Game 7 between the Twins and Braves in '91; or (sorry, folks) Carter's homer in '93 – those were the classic moments I remember most."
Where were you when the Phillies won the World Series last October?
"People ask me all the time, whether I was in the booth with Harry watching that scene unfold? The answer is, no. I was in the groundskeepers room under the ballpark watching on TV. I was in there with 2 or 3 other 'reporters,' ready to storm the field and do post-game interviews, plus a few officials from Major League Baseball. Once the umpires had cleared the tunnel, we were allowed onto the field. It was amazing watching it all from that perspective. Once the players came out of the dogpile, I stopped Shane Victorino for an interview, and realized we were standing right on top of the pitchers mound. There was so much joy in his eyes. Mine, I'm sure, were pretty wide too watching from field level as 45,000-plus people went crazy."
Postseason History
On this date, the Phillies are 2-3. First game was in 1915 at Baker Bowl and Woodrow Wilson became the first U. S. President to throw out a first ball.
Game 2 Recap
Game was filled with a lot of drama. Biggest at-bats belonged to Fowler. Twice we had two strikes on him and each time he hit a sacrifice fly and we lost by one run . . . Shane had three hits and his bid for a 4th needed a foot more to Barmes' left to fall in for a game-tying hit in the last of the 9th.
Both teams had charter aircraft waiting for them after yesterday's game. Flight time: four hours. Phillies were scheduled to land at 9:45 p.m., which would be 11:45 in the east. Phillies are scheduled to work out at Coors Field at 1 this afternoon.
Game times
In case you haven't heard, Sunday's game will begin at 10:07 p.m. (EDT). Game 5, if necessary, will be either 6:07 or 8:07 p.m. (EDT) at Citizens Bank Park. If it is the only game that day, then it will start at 8:07 p.m.
MLB's press release on the remaining game times included the following: "Please note that the schedule is tentative and subject to change based on postponed and/or suspended games." Saturday's Denver forecast: high of 30 degrees and snow. Stay tuned.
4 Comments
30 degrees and snow!?!? That is football weather, not baseball. Ridicuolous! So glad I will be watching from the comfort of my home :-).
Rants, Raves, and Random Thoughts
Scott, Carter's home run in '93? You didn't need to mention that! Larry, don't you have editorial rights? You could have removed that! We need good karma, now.
How about the girl having to sue Ryan Howard to get the ball back that she caught at a game? I was like….are you kidding me? They had the girl come down and took the ball from her, lied to her about getting it back and having Howard sign it etc. and then bailed on her. WTF. Do these roid-heads not get it? Damn, I was trying to be a fan but I just read this and now I'm like…..F' it. I hope the sillies lose the next two games by 50 runs. What a bunch of *****.

Item Description
Letter, R. J. Hinton to Rev. T. W. Higginson
Author: Hinton, R. J.
Date: November 6, 1856
This letter from R. J. Hinton was written from Lawrence, Kansas Territory and was addressed to Rev. Higginson, a radical abolitionist and agent of the Massachusetts Kansas Aid Committee. The letter is filled with information about the struggle for Kansas. Hinton mentioned the trials of the free state prisoners at Lecompton and Governor Geary's order to arrest other free state figures. Colonel Titus was also threatening to help the U. S. troops arrest free state men. Apparently a Captain Homes [sic] from New York had become so frustrated that he had collected several followers and was determined to administer his own brand of justice. Hinton did not completely approve of such action, claiming that while it was understandable, it was "not generally beneficial to our cause." Hinton had experienced some personal troubles as well, when some thieves who claimed to be free state men carried off the belongings of his company, settled at Lexington. The letter concluded with updates about the various men in his company.

I have downloaded 12.10 image recently, and burned it to disc to install on my laptop. Everything worked fine until now, when I started it first time it got stuck on loading (Ubuntu title and dots below).
I tried restarting and it got through, but a new problem appeared. After typing my password and logging in, it just freezes there with background and mouse pointer only visible. I can start terminal with Ctrl+Alt+F4 but that's all.
Then after few minutes, error comes up saying that
application compiz has closed unexpectedly. Whatever I click (relaunch or leave closed) it just stays frozen with background only.
