Pigeon's Egg Head (The Light) Going to and Returning from Washington, 183739

Smithsonian American Art Museum, Gift of Mrs. Joseph Harrison, Jr.
Eighteen months later, the artist met Pigeon's Egg Head on his return home to the northern Plains. In this before-and-after portrait, Catlin shows the Assiniboine arriving in Washington in a splendid buckskin suit, as noble and classic in its own way as | the architecture of the Capitol in the background.

HACKENSACK — The Bergen County prosecutor is calling for public hearings on the county's options for police consolidation, after a task force issued a report advising against the elimination of the Bergen County Police Department.
Speaking at a public hearing on his office's budget, which had been delayed while the Bergen County Law Enforcement Consolidation Task Force completed its study, Prosecutor John L. Molinelli on Tuesday urged the freeholders to convene a hearing with all of the stakeholders in order to clear up confusion.
The findings of the task force, which reject the major recommendations of a consolidation study that had been previously financed by the Prosector's office, came up frequently in Tuesday's budget hearing. Molinelli's office paid Guidepost Solutions $630,000 for their study, which was completed in 2011 and recommended eliminating the county police or consolidating many of its functions with other departments.
Bergen County Executive Kathleen Donovan then convened the task force to examine the study | 's findings, a move that was criticized by Bergen County Sheriff Michael Saudino for having a "predisposed outcome" to protect the county police department.
After several months of study, the task force released its findings last week.
Ultimately the panel, headed by Bergen County contractor J. Fletcher Creamer, advised against eliminating or significantly downsizing the county police, citing in part the age of the data Guidepost's report used.

A professional harness racing driver denies he put the industry at risk by bringing uncleaned horse gear back to Christchurch International Airport after a meeting in Sydney.
The Ministry of Primary Industries pointed out the risk from the deadly hendra virus when 46-year-old Anthony Murray Butt pleaded guilty to a breach of the Biosecurity Act today.
Butt was not convicted at the request of defence counsel Elizabeth Bulger who may seek a discharge without conviction at his sentencing on March 14.
Prosecutor Grant Fletcher said hendra virus posed a significant biosecurity risk to New Zealand's racing industry which employed 18,000 people.
Introduction of the virus would cause significant economic damage.
He detailed outbreaks of the disease in Australia which had caused the deaths of horses and trainers.
He said Butt had arrived at Christchurch airport on a flight from Sydney on August 28, and had not declared that he had been in contact with animals.
He was a regular traveller overseas to race horses | but did not declare on that day that he had horse racing gear which had not been cleaned.
The gear he had, including boots, clothes, and goggles, was very soiled, Fletcher said.
Investigators confirmed on video coverage that the clothing had been used at a race meeting in Sydney that day.
Butt told officials that "being in a race wasn't being in contact with horses", and that the gear had not been used in Australia for racing.
Bulger said she was at odds with the prosecutor over the risk posed by hendra virus, and the penalty that should be imposed.

I probably ought to give credit to Rasa Malaysia for this dish. The recipe came from Diane Kochilas' book, but a year ago I would never have dreamed of making it. I was afraid to cook with shellfish. I had food safety concerns and was very squeamish about cooking something that was still living. Then, not too long after I started this blog, Rasa Malaysia posted a recipe involving clams that looked so amazingly good that I had to try it. Since I was squeamish about using live clams, I decided I would be clever and use frozen clams. Bleah! They were gritty, they were sandy, and they were chewy to the point of inedibility. Yuck! I decided to try to get over my squeamishness and just use the real deal. Eventually I made myself actually do it, which has given me the courage to try a whole range of recipes I've drooled over but never dared attempt. So thank you, Rasa Malaysia.
Anyway, I made this recipe for dinner on one recent Sunday. Mussels really don't benefit from a lot of fuss and muss; they tend to do better | with relatively simple treatments. Therefore, there isn't a whole lot of room for me to make changes and adjustments. I did increase the amount of garlic, as always, and I decreased the amount of olive oil by two tablespoons.

The 4th of October marks the 70th anniversary of the Battle of Cable Street, in London’s East End, where 3000 of Oswald Mosley’s fascist blackshirts tried to march only to run into a wee bit of trouble when 300,000 people or so turned up to kick their arses.

The Path to Phenomenal Health
How to Feel Good for Life
By Sam Graci
According to today’s research, there are three components to our happiness: pleasure, engagement and meaning. Of the three, engagement (the depth of involvement with one’s family, friends, work, romance, faith and more) and meaning (how we use our personal strengths to grow and become more aware and mindful), are of greater significance to our happiness than pleasure alone.
Regardless of what component you value most, what’s most important is that you acknowledge your power in achieving happiness. Only you can determine how you feel based on the choices you make every day.
With this in mind, ask yourself: How happy are you in your life? According to Dr. Edward Diener, happiness doesn’t necessarily come with financial freedom, youth, education, job satisfaction or external beauty.
To help measure your own current state of happiness, take Diener’s Satisfaction with Life Scale:
ME | ASURE YOUR HAPPINESS
Diener’s Satisfaction with Life Scale.
Read the following five statements. Then use a 1 to 7 scale to rate your level of agreement.

2. The conditions of my life are excellent.

Northern Troops Enter Caroline County, 1861
By JOK Walsh, President, Caroline County Historical Society
Within two weeks of Lincoln's Proclamation of Insurrection and the riots in Baltimore in April 1861, Maryland was overrun with thousands of Northern troops. After gaining control of key points such as Annapolis, Baltimore and Frederick, Union troops moved into the more remote areas of the Eastern Shore.
J. M. Satterthwaite, a resident of Denton, left a description of the first Northern troops to visit Caroline County, probably in June 1861. Satterthwaite's mother Rebecca Satterthwaite Tyler, who was a grandniece of Betsy Ross, had sewed a 34-star flag in the spring of 1861. According to Satterthwaite;
After she got it made, I went down into the swamps and cut a long pole, which was set up in the front yard.... When the union soldiers were occupying the country they marched by our house. The commander saw the Stars and Stripes flying as a greeting, and ordered his soldiers to halt. The commander made a speech, saying ours was the first union flag they had seen | since they entered southern territory. The band played pieces as a salute to us before they went on.
The soldiers marched to the grounds of this Quaker Meeting House to camp. Satterthwaite recalled visiting the camp and beating a military drum.
Satterthwaite further recalled that prior to the arrival of Union soldiers, "It was almost treason to dare to say anything against Jeff Davis." By October 1861 it has been estimated that there were approximately | [

NBA AM: Still Not There On Labor Deal
Still Not There: Labor deals in sports are a game of inches.
To believe these things can be achieved in a single sitting is not only naive, it’s impractical.
Time is the virtue that creates progress. It’s the time lost. The time between deadlines; the time to rethink ones position that creates movement in this process.
That time is also painful and arduous, but it is necessary to motivate those that have to ultimately live with the decisions made for what could be the next decade of NBA basketball.
Labor deals are not fun, especially a labor deal that for all intents and purposes will shrink the NBA economy, not expand it.
Remember, the NBA is asking its players to reduce their share of the pie by more than 7%. Every time in this process that the Players have pushed away from the table and said “No”, the next offer was slightly better. Hence why another Monday will pass without a deal in the NBA.
However all is not lost.
Despite what was more of a process of time keeping than punitive reaction. The NBA had to cancel more games last week, because that was the next item on the calendar in this process.
The cancellation of more games was a given | .
The NBA needs 30 days to get a final labor contract written and ratified by both sides of the deal. They need time to get the mechanical parts of free agency, training camps and a small amount of pre-season games together.
Even if a deal had been reached last Friday, there were not going to be games in November anyway. So NBA Commissioner David Stern’s decision to announce game cancellation through November 30th | [

Believe it or not, dedicated readers, but there was a time when presenters on children's television were all demonstrably adults. Nowadays, children are plucked straight from truanting down Shepherds Bush market, given an even worse haircut and some achingly trendy t-shirt, and stuck in front of TV cameras. The programmes they present treat children like idiots because the people who present them are idiots, and the overall effect is one great morass of old tits.

Re: Ann McFeatters’ Feb. 20 column, “Chipping away national security”:
Again you have written a superb column, regarding national security and cyber warfare. I find it very ironic that American companies are being hit with spyware attacks from China.
Who says there is no justice in this world. These companies really deserve this because they have shipped more than 10 millions jobs to China in the past 15 years.
Lou Dobbs was right on target with his superb book "Exporting America,” in which he
detailed all of this traitorous conduct by America’s biggest corporations.
It certainly serves these greedy, mean spirited, traitorous corporations right to be attacked by Chinese hackers. My first reaction, on reading McFeatters’ column, was "right on, hit them again.They deserve what they are getting.”

07.22Where the Girls Aren’t
by Sheila Gibson
Next time you attend a skeptics’ meeting, look around. What you don’t see will be as obvious as what you do see—a white, older, largely professional group, with few to no women. Sadly, this pattern repeats across the country. This skeptical chick has gone to conferences in Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, and Fort Lauderdale and stuff near home in New England. Women were always a minority. The skeptical gender gap became brutally clear whenever I visited a ladies’ room. I knew things were horrendously lopsided when I noticed the absence of a social phenomenon that even now, as you read this, tortures innocent women everywhere.
No matter where a conference was sited, what time of day it was, or which | bathroom I chose, there was never a line for the ladies’ room. Every well-attended event generates a line outside the ladies’ room, usually right at the most critical moments. It’s the misogynistic legacy of male builders who blithely installed equal numbers of stalls in both restroom facilities. Some have risked arrest to command | [

Welcome to Plant2pollinator
Plant2pollinator is a practical science resource for understanding pollinator partnerships and building biodiversity stewardship for students from stages 1 to 4.
Based on the premise that the types of flowering plants in your garden can indicate a diversity of insect visitors, Plant2pollinator provides ideas, investigations and information on invertebrates and their crucial role in pollinating flowering plants.You can make a major contribution to many mysteries surrounding insect pollination, invertebrate diversity and sustainability by surveying and understanding insect visitors to flowering plants.
Scientists are still to find out more about the fascinating partnership between plants and their pollinators.
Plant2pollinator relies on the Bugwise guides and tools for identifying beetles, wasps, flies, bees, moths and butterflies developed by the Australian | Museum’s research scientists for use in field and laboratory work. These tools and guides were developed to assist enthusiastic observers who are not scientifically trained in identifying invertebrates.

Next Day (& the Next)
The following morning, the party sets off for Hommlet very early. You’ve got a lot of loot and extra company and it is fairly slow going. However, you manage to arrive by early afternoon, and you certainly cause a stir as you pony up to the Inn of the Welcome Wench! Ostler is there to take Horg and the others to rooms (on the house, of course!) and the patrons in the common room greet you with amazement and many questions.

Don’t get me wrong. There are plenty of black elected officials who represent cities and advocate for policies and strategies that will improve them.

This was the sight that greeted us on our shopping trip last week when we went to fill up our diesel tank. Trucks and mini buses were lined up down the street outside a gas station. There were pick up trucks, vans and cruisers also filling the station. There has been a fuel shortage for a few weeks now because Zambia's only refinery shut down for maintenance and without adequate reserves they had to import fuel from outside the country. Many NGOs (non-governmental organizations/charities) have had to put projects on hold and other non essential activities postponed. This happens every year or two. One of the reasons we bought a car with a diesel engine is so that we can store drums of diesel for possible shortages. We will be working on this as soon as funds allow.
Since this was the only station in town that had diesel at all we had no choice but to join the party. It took a while to even figure out where the line of cars started. Finally by asking around we got into position behind 9 other vehicles. One of the cultural differences here is the disregard for lines (or queues as they're called here) and so I was poised to jump out of the car and fight for our | place in line if needed. Thankfully the station personnel kept a pretty good control of the situation.
Many people brought 5 - 10 jerry cans to fill up as well | [

While returning home from shooting some pictures of Julie Young's book signing at Bookmama's in Irvington (see previous post), I drove past a Southside landmark: Edward's Drive-In at the northwest corner of Sherman Drive and Raymond Street. Rain was falling hard, but the purple eminating from the drive-in's arched doorway proved too much to resist. I pulled into the parking lot and fired off a half-dozen or so pictures.
Edward's is a "phoenix rising from the ashes" story, as it was seriously damaged by fire some years ago, then rebuilt and reopened. The sight of Edward's, perhaps best-known for its $4.79 jumbo tenderlo | in, and its purple neon archway standing out against the heavily overcast, rainy day, was striking.

Please don’t tell me you’re “giving up sugar, soda, and carbs” unless you plan on praying about it every day. If you’re doing it to lose weight, it’s called a Pre-Easter Diet.
Sorry, that’s a ginormous pet peeve of mine.
I haven’t observed Lent in a few years because my heart wasn’t in it. Maybe it was my way of rebelling from my Catholic school upbringing, but as a young adult, Lent felt like a chore.
Also, I don’t like half-assing stuff (I’m a medicated Type A gal, remember? ) Especially if I’m going to tell GOD that I’m going to do something. I mean, I know He’s all merciful, but I don’t think He appreciates shotty efforts.

White Nationalist Code of Conduct
White nationalists must understand that this forum is our only form of media. It should be used to promote our cause in a positive and constructive manner. This board is viewed by tens-of-thousands of people every day. We are judged by how we write, act, speak and conduct ourselves.
As I've said on numerous occasions, if we're to be taken seriously, then we must adopt the same tactics that our enemies have been using against us for decades. That means conducting ourselves like professionals at all times. As I've also said on numerous occasions, I expect and demand that white nationalists hold themselves to a higher standard.
While I certainly understand the frustration and anger that many feel, it's important to realize that acting out on those feelings | publicly is extremely harmful to our image. When people allow anger and/or frustration to control their thoughts, they often say things that they regret. Remember, words and actions can and do have long lasting consequences.
With that said, there's a code of conduct that white nationalists are being asked to follow. For those who can't or wont comply, then appropriate disciplinary action will be taken. Before I go any further, I encourage everybody to read and thoroughly understand the guidelines for posting.

Bullying isn't just a schoolyard problem. When we hear talk of bullies, generally the first image that comes to mind is a rough group of kids who make life miserable for other classmates. Their crimes include stealing lunch money, locking kids in lockers, or threatening physical harm unless they are allowed to copy the victim's homework. Sometimes they seem to engage in malicious behavior just for the joy of | it.
Eventually kids grow up – the bullies and the bullied. They go on to get jobs and they leave the playground antics behind. Don't they?
Unfortunately, no! From shouting at people in the boardroom to snide comments, and even sabotaging others' work, bullying is alarmingly common.

In an effort to pressure the Obama administration to answer a lingering question related to the Benghazi attack, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., is reconsidering his pledge not to filibuster the nomination of former Sen. Chuck Hagel to be defense secretary, according to his spokesman Brian Rogers.
McCain wants to know if the president ever personally contacted anyone in the Libyan government during the Benghazi attack to seek assistance for the Americans in the compound. McCain, along with Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., and Sen. Kelly Ayotte, R-N.H., have been trying to get the answer for months, said Rogers, and they reiterated their request in a letter to the president on Monday.
McCain "is not calling for a filibuster in the sense of stopping the nomination cold," Rogers explained. But the | senators are "entitled" to a response and it "should be very easy for the administration to answer," he said.
A decision to filibuster Hagel's nomination, would be an about face for McCain who said recently "I don't think it's appropriate and I would | [

pH is a measure of how acidic a solution is. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14. Solutions with a pH of less than 7 are acidic, and those with a pH greater than 7 are basic (or alkaline). Distilled water is neutral and has | a pH of 7.
Knowledge of pH is important because most aquatic organisms are adapted to live in solutions with a pH between 5.0 and 9.0.

KANAHI, INDIA — After three years of drought, withered crops and dry fields, Ram Chander sees better times ahead.
``So far, the monsoon looks good,`` said the 48-year-old farmer as he surveyed his 10-acre farm in Kanahi. ``The water table is rising and my crops are thriving.``
But only 20 miles away in New Delhi, a woman named Shobhaji looked at the garbage, mud and stagnant water in front of her tiny hut and worried that the cholera epidemic sweeping the Indian capital would spread to her home.
``We are living like dogs here,`` said the 25-year-old woman, holding the youngest of her three children. ``Until this place is cleaned up, the diseases won`t go.``
For millions of Indians parched by the century`s worst drought, the summer rains have brought long-awaited relief.
The government of Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi expects a bumper | crop this summer, bolstering strained food supplies. Serious water and electricity shortages have eased, and the once-parched countryside is in bloom.

In some Middle Eastern countries there are few official churches. Many unofficial house churches only have a leader visit once a month, because the few who are trained to disciple the believers have to do the work of many.
To address this need, the Persian Ministry holds Bible and leadership training events where Christians can gather together safely.
These training sessions equip ministry workers, house church leaders and other volunteers to follow up with the growing number of people who express an interest in Christ. | They also connect new believers with existing fellowship groups.
Often participants travel extremely long distances to attend the conference—some more then 20 or 30 hours. Many have never fellowshipped with other believers. When they are finally able to meet, the joy of fellowship overflows.
These are times not only for training, but for strengthening one another through developing relationships with other brothers and sisters in Christ.

I know this is a little late in the day but I want to post a reaction to the article of Erle and the subsequent reader reactions.
Perhaps if the readers would go past the first, rather ambiguous, and consequently irresponsible statement "I HATE BIKE RIDERS" then perhaps those two wheeled fans, myself included ( though i am more cyclist than motorcyclist), would see that there is a ctually, quite A LOT of truth in this article.
For instance, from the comments on this forum as well as the letters to the editor, it is quite obvious that a good number of motorcyclists feel that the rules of the road do not apply to them. Those laws were put up to protect everyone, from pedestrians, motorcycle riders even the bus driver. Can the motorcyclists on this forum consider how many riders do they know, who actually FOLLOW the traffic rules? And can they fathom how the other law abiding citizens must feel when they see a lot of | these riders break laws with impunity?
And does one need to run a statistical study to see how rampant this behavior goes? I drive from Batasan to Makati and I can tell you that the disciplined motorcyle rider is a rare commodity. Commonwealth road and Congressional are places where one will literally see utter disrespect for laws. Only the jaded and biased among us will be blind to this.

News, notes, trip reports, and the lighter side (of the wilder side) of the Oregon environmental and conservation movement.
Some points to keep in mind when discussing or reporting on O&C lands in the wake of Gov. Kitzhaber's timber proposal to Oregon's congressional delegation.
Governor John Kitzhaber sent a letter to the Oregon congressional delegation on February 6th summarizing the results of his O&C forest panel, with his recommendations for moving forward.
Set forth below are several concerns, perspectives, and questions Oregon Wild has related to the governor's proposal, which we hope Oregon Wild members, conservationists, bloggers and journalists should keep in mind.
The great-grandson of Waldo Lake's namesake expresses his concern over the Oregon Aviation Board's desire to allow seaplanes to land and take off from the pristine lake.
This letter was submitted by Bruce A. Johnson of Bend to Governor John Kitzhaber. Mr. Johnson is the great-grandson of Waldo Lake namesake and early Oregon conservationist Judge John B. Waldo.
Dear Governor Kitzhaber,
I am writing to urge you, as the elected Governor of the State | of Oregon and member of the State Land Board, to lead an effort to establish a permanent and binding preservation of Waldo Lake in its pure and natural state.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. - Gone are the days of flying projectiles not made of pigskin at Mountaineer Field.
No more will West Virginia University fans encourage rivals to consume unsavory items.
Forget about the flaming couches. They're history.
At least that's the change some university and Morgantown community members believe will happen with WVU joining a new athletic conference.
"I think the move to the Big 12 does give you a different opportunity as far as making a first impression," said Matt Wells, assistant athletic director for marketing and sales.
WVU enters a new athletic era this weekend, leaving behind the Big East and storied rivalries to take on Baylor in its inaugural Big 12 contest.
The university officially became a member of the conference in July, but Wells said Athletic Director Oliver Luck has pushed to tone down unsavory fan antics for months.
It's not the first time the school has tried campaigns to increase fan friendliness, Wells said, adding most fans don't need the reminders. But he admitted those who fight, get drunk and set things ablaze get the attention, and maybe the move a new conference could be the hook | that gets them to shape up.

A little while back, a friend of mine and I were talking about music. Our focus was on groups from the sixties. We touched on The Yardbirds, The Doors, The Who, Jimi Hendrix, The Beatles, all the essentials. But then, The Monkees were somehow mentioned and my friend was quick to dismiss them. He said something to the effect of “they were just a manufactured group whose only motive was to make money.” This was some time ago, and I didn’t really know much about the Monkees, and this information really turned me off of them.

The Isomac Tea had been acting up for the first time last week -- no water when i pulled the lever, only steam. It wasn't vapor lock, because it happened whenever I let the machine sit, even after a session of pulling shots, and I could still get water immediately from the hot water tap. That problem disappeared after a couple days, but this morning the pump pressure suddenly refused to go past 1.5 bars. I essentially pulled a shot on an extended preinfusion. The water quickly flowed slower and slower. Now I get nothing -- only steam and hissing -- when i attempt to pull water.
Busted vibe pump? Is that it? The machine is two years old, roughly.
The requisite caveats: I clean her religiously, | have ridiculously soft water and no scale, have turned her on and off, tried bleeding the steam wand, etc. Bottom line is, it would appear that my pump no longer pushes water. Unless there's another explanation I don't know about.

As the United States Supreme Court wraps up three days of arguments over the Constitutionality of the health care mandate in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, a medical device excise tax included in the sweeping legislation is being debated in the U.S. Senate race on Massachusetts.
Republican U.S. Sen. Scott Brown's campaign criticized its chief Democratic rival Elizabeth Warren for her support of the health care law on Wednesday, charging that the 2.3 percent medical device tax included in it would hurt the more than 400 medical technology companies in the Bay State.
If the Supreme Court strikes down the health care mandate in the coming weeks, it could kill the overall legislation, including the medical device tax. But if the legislation stands, Brown says the tax will result in jobs being lost in Massachusetts.
"Elizabeth Warren's vigorous support of Obamacare and its medical device tax will translate directly into job losses in Massachusetts," said Jim Barnett, Brown's campaign manager in a statement. "New taxes taking effect in 2013 will harm the medical device industry in Massachusetts, which consists of more | than 400 companies employing nearly 25,000 people. Scott Brown opposes Obamacare, and has already voted to repeal it. He believes health care should be left up to the states to decide on a case-by-case basis as we did in Massachusetts."
Defenders of the law say that the criticisms of the excise tax are overstated and that the health care law would increase business for medical technology companies as more people would have health insurance.
Warren's campaign said she believes the medical device tax can be addressed without undoing the health care law.

CenturyLink Man of the Match @ FC Dallas: Darlington Nagbe
On the Portland Timbers first road trip of 2012 to FC Dallas, the squad showd some poise and spirit--particularly in the second half after falling behind 1-0. The match featured some strong performances including centerback Hanyer Mosquera--who ably made is MLS debut on the backline--as well as fellow centerback Eric Brunner. Midfielder and Designated Player Diego Chara also worked to hold down the midfield and help spark a comeback.
However, it was the timely subsitution of Darlington Nagbe who came in right after halftime that made the difference. In the 51st minute, while the broadcast team coincidentally was having their sideline check-in with head coach John Spencer, Nagbe bounced on a misplayed FC Dallas clearance to gather the ball and slot it home. | Spencer, in mid-interview with play-by-play man John Strong, cheered his approval.
