When you suffer from frequent, intense headaches your choices are often limited. There are pain medications with all of their various side effects and risks. Sometimes nothing works. Debilitating pain can disrupt your life. If you cannot move, tolerate light or sound and endure extreme nausea, how can you play with your children, work, enjoy your friends or go about the business of living?
Although there are many causes of headaches generally, people who report having them frequently usually either have tension headaches or migraines. In both cases, acupuncture can be helpful, particularly for people who have “tried everything.” If your headaches do not respond to pain killers or you simply don’t like taking them, schedule a consultation with Wayne to investigate whether or not acupuncture might help you.
Most of the time, acupuncture treatments are administered during regular appointments rather than during a migraine attack. There are techniques that can lessen the pain during an episode as well should a headache occur just before or during an appointment. Besides lessening the frequency and intensity of episodes, most patients find that acupuncture provides relief for long periods of time after the initial series of treatments.
Safe & Effective
Other aspects of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) may be useful in treating headaches as well. Wayne develops individual plans, tailored to the needs of each of his patients, based on a thorough consultation and diagnoses. You may also need herbal supplements, massage or acupressure to eradicate headaches.
Multiple recent studies have shown that acupuncture is a safe and effective method of treatment for headache pain. There are few, if any, side effects, especially when the treatments are administered by a carefully trained and fully licensed acupuncturist like Wayne. If you are missing out on life due to the pain of headaches, why wouldn’t you try acupuncture?

We do not need to rewrite history because we fail to understand it in its proper context, so it hurts our feelings. A case in point, the state representative who wants to remove the Confederate battleflag from the state of Alabama`s coat-of-arms.
The British burned Washington D.C., to the ground during the War of 1812. Why are you not calling for the British Union Jack in Alabama`s coat-of-arms to be removed? Why does this not offend you?
If you do not like the Confederate flag because you believe it represents slavery, then why are you trying to save the remains of the slave ship Clotilla buried in the mud in Mobile? Did it not actually bring slaves to America?
Why blame the Confederacy for slavery in America when the Confederacy only exsisted for four years, while slavery had exsisted on this continent long before the founding of America?
If you still need someone to blame for slavery after it ended in America 160 years ago, put the blame where it squarely belongs, the African tribe that controlled the Ghana region of Africa. They captured and sold slaves to New England shipping companies.
The Confederacy had little to do with bringing slaves to America, so you are blaming the wrong group.

Jerry Brown's plea to voters: 'Please increase taxes temporarily' (LA Times)
Jerry Brown's plea to voters: 'Please increase taxes temporarily'
Gov. Jerry Brown's proposal for closing California's $16-billion funding gap includes 4-day state workweeks and Medi-Cal cuts. He warns that cuts will be even more severe if voters reject tax hikes on the November ballot.
By Chris Megerian and Anthony York, Los Angeles Times
May 14, 2012
SACRAMENTO -- Gov. Jerry Brown on Monday released his plan to contain California's rapidly growing deficit by closing state offices one day a week, deepening healthcare cuts and implementing a variety of short-term fixes -- all in the hope that voters give the state more breathing room by approving higher taxes in November.
Brown warned that the deficit could grow significantly if his proposed ballot measure to raise the state sales tax and income levies on high earners fails. He says that would trigger severe cuts in public education that would be the equivalent of lopping three weeks off the school year.
"I'm linking these serious budget reductions … with a plea to the voters: Please increase taxes temporarily," Brown said at a morning news conference to announce his revised plan for the budget year that begins July 1.
California's deficit has swelled to nearly $16 billion, the governor said — almost double what he assumed in his initial budget proposal in January. The shortfall is a result of lower-than-projected tax receipts, an increase in school money under a voter-approved funding formula and opposition to cuts from the federal government, courts and Democratic state lawmakers.

3. Agree. We've got to increase revenues. And the RW meme - cut your way to recovery is wrong.
There's got to be a mix, politically, given the 2/3 standard in the state legislature. Tough one.

The Cardinals and Marlins had their Grapefruit League game in Jupiter, Florida halted on Saturday by a one-hour, 49-minute rain delay.
During that delay the Fish got a little business done, holding a required MLB Players’ Association meeting in their clubhouse. These 30-minute meetings are held every year with every team, right around this time of the spring. The Cardinals, in fact, had theirs between 8:30-9:00 a.m. on Saturday morning.
But new St. Louis skipper Mike Matheny is upset that his players had to sit around in the afternoon while the Marlins shifted their focus elsewhere and even indicated to MLB.com’s Jenifer Langosch that he thought the rain delay could have been shorter.
“I wasn’t real happy,” Matheny said. “We couldn’t get people to make decisions. We weren’t the home team there, and the home team was inside a meeting with Major League Baseball front office. So we were left to wait. The field does drain well, and it did turn out to be beautiful there at the end. It seemed like a completely different day. But in the meanwhile, I wasn’t happy. We have some pretty valuable players out there and we have some people in the bullpen just sitting still for a long time. None of that is a good situation.
Meetings are supposed to be after the game.”
During Tony La Russa’s tenure, the Cards were known for making a fuss about trivial things (remember the complaint about the ribbon board at Miller Park?). Matheny might have a legitimate reason to be upset with what went on Saturday, but detractors will probably suggest that he’s only carrying on the Wrath of Tony.

Drawing the Line
Today I'd like to talk about where we draw the line. Now, I know that as good Zen students we're all supposed to say that there are no boundaries - being just this moment, there is no separation between us and and the world. And at various times in our life and our practice that truth will manifest itself and that's how we'll function. But real practice must be psychologically honest, so we also have to look at the fact that most of the time we don't live that way, but instead draw all sorts boundaries in terms of what we are willing to face or endure, what we think we need and what we're willing or not willing to do to get our needs met. One way to look at our boundaries is to imagine two circles, an inner and an outer circle. The outer circle is our boundary with the outside world, and is a measure of how far we try or are willing to extend ourself. How much of what's around do we take responsibility for? How much control do we try to have over what's around us? If we try to extend that boundary too far, beyond our actual capacity, we may become frustrated and angry. That's what happens in what's called "road rage," when people driving on a crowded highway expect to have an impossible degree of control over what's going on around them, and then everyone else is forever going too fast or too slow or are in their way. On the other hand, to not extend that outer boundary far enough, is to be lazy or irresponsible: "That's not my job," or "what difference can I possibly make?" In that case, we're underestimating our capacities, and grow cynical or listless.
The inner circle encompasses what we think of as our needs. And again, especially for Zen students or people in the so-called helping professions, there can be a tendency to think that our needs should contract to zero, and that we're just here to respond to the needs of others. Or sometimes, out of fear or dependency, we think we need to hold on to something or someone whatever the cost - and we're willing to sacrifice one need after another in order to just hold on and never to have to face that underlying fear or dependency. In these cases, we psychologically start to wither, like a plant that's not getting enough sunlight or water. We get depressed or burnt out. That depression is a sign that for one reason or another we're unrealistically contracting that inner circle too tightly. There's also the case that we can make that inner circle too big: that's where we feel we have a need to feel or be treated in just a certain or special way. In general the discipline and rigors of the zendo and especially of sesshin confront that one head on. We just can't manage to be as comfortable as we think we should when we're in sesshin!
The longer we practice, the better we get to know our own strategies for where we want to draw our boundaries. And true practice takes place at those boundaries, by our careful attention to them and our increasing willingness to experience the anxiety, fear or anger that accompanies the times when life forces us across one of our careful drawn lines.

The Trump administration’s plans for the rich and the rest of us are clear: privatize everything for the benefit of the corporations and his own personal interests and leave everyone else to fight it out for resources and try to get by.
Trump’s Big Game Plan: Privatize and Lord of the Flies
Photo from Lord of The Flies, where children left on a paradisiacal island descend to a savagery as they attempt to govern themselves.
No place is Trump's agenda more clear than his choice of Scott Pruitt to head the Environmental Protection Agency. Pruitt has a long history of suing the EPA from his post as Attorney General of Oklahoma, challenging regulations that protect the environment. And according to The Guardian (12/8/16), has received more that $300,000 from the Fossil Fuel Industry. His EPA lawsuits just so happen to line up exactly with Koch Industry and other fossil fuel industry priorities.
This past weekend at the Conservative Political Action Conference, Pruitt vowed to roll back environmental regulations "in an aggressive way". He promised structural changes at the agency that would hinder it from its mission. You can watch the video here if you have a strong stomach. Don’t be shocked when you see him being cheered by an appreciative crowd of what must be rubes and/or future accessories to murder.
Let’s be clear, Scott Pruitt promised to let fossil fuel corporations unnecessarily make money by poisoning the air we breathe and the water we drink and by extension the bodies we live in. Trump is helping out by using corporate friendly executive orders, dropping this week, in which he frees power plants to emit an unlimited amount of CO2 into our atmosphere, loosens restrictions on water pollution, and allows coal mining on federal lands. And that, it seems, is just for starters.
Our Poisoner –In-Chief purports to care so deeply about babies and the unborn that he and his administration would take away that most-beloved of co-opted conservative values, personal freedom, from half the population, i.e. women. Yet at the same time he himself signs orders that would poison those very same women and their babies. And then he appoints a man to head the Environmental Protection Agency who would help bring on climate catastrophe and ecological destruction. Those who care about the sanctity of life should take note that in order to be truly pro-life, and protect the unborn, one must, by default, be anti- Scott Pruitt and anti- Trump.
This might be something to bring up at the dinner table now that seeking to maintain politeness by avoiding discussions of politics with those we love is no longer an option. Try to do it with a smile and a sliver of compassion, especially if you are talking to good hearted folks who have been mislead by 25 years of conservative talking points. If after making that point, you are still seated at the table, you may want to throw in the following for good measure:
According to the New York Times, President Trump’s first budget shows he plans to substantially slash funding to the EPA and reappropriate that money to increase military spending. Unless he is going to sink it all into the VA and caring for our veterans, this is not good news. Trump’s big plan is allowing people to be poisoned over here, and killing other people in other ways over there. Where the ‘there’ is remains to be seen.

“He was a close and highly respected colleague to all of us and will be missed immensely by all those who had the pleasure of knowing and working with him over the past 11 years. A valued member of our team,” the bank wrote.
Mr Aquilina had joined APS as Marketing and Quality Manager back in 2010. Before that, he held a similar role at Thomas Smith Group.
“The shock is huge and our lives will be empty in the areas that he had brightened for us. Patrick was hardworking, creative, and always gave so generously to whatever roles and tasks he was assigned,” APS Bank wrote.
“His love for painting, photography, Liverpool F.C., and Formula One will be remembered, especially by his colleagues in the Strategy Department who regularly chatted with him,” it added.
Hundreds of friends, relatives, and acquaintances took to the post’s comments section to pay tribute to Mr Aquilina.
He served as Deputy CEO and Chief Marketing Officer for the past four years.
‘Looking forward to adding value to the gig economy in Malta and beyond in my new role.‘

It seems that lately I have not had as much time to spend on the forums. Consequently, there have been a number of fun posts that were closed before I had a chance to add what would undoubtedly have been either the smartest comment of the series or the funniest. Mods, can you please leave the topics open longer that look like they will provide a source of entertainment on these long summer nights while I’m waiting the 36 days for my incubator to finish upgrading?
I’m sorry that you feel like you are missing out on the fun, but that kinda defeat the purpose of having mods…
There’s quite a few topics in the rowdy Off-topic section where you can have fun, or spend time IRL…I heard that game has incredible 3D graphics (though no Dragon and gameplay sucks…)
I agree with OP. There have been many times I’d like to add something snarky to a topic that already has a solution and got closed.
It’s pretty immersive, but full of bugs, and way too pay-to-win. Still, some of the in-game events are fun, and they make it worth playing.
They are closed to prevent this:
I agree with this community you’ve gotta limit trolls, but it’s still unnatural to me how aggressively this forum shuts down conversations. Other places use mods pretty differently.
If we cooperate, the topic won’t be closed.
A call for all lurkers to create fun topics
still waiting for Kagney
@moderators op has his answer, frankly.
As you suggesting we aggressively close the topic then?
I actually giggled
Jared closed out this thread without commenting why. I could envision him rolling his eyes.
Limit them to a cute troll only?
Off-Topic threads are usually given a bit more leeway, but as a group, we all try to be logical in our reasoning to close threads. This can be whether they expire naturally after there hasn’t been a response in 30 days (which is automatic by the system), or if the original question was answered / has a solution, or if a thread has simply devolved from its original intent. You can always reach out to the moderator team (@moderators) for clarity.
First off, we never “use” mods. These are real, dedicated folks who help Arelyna and I with the Forums out of their willingness to keep this platform an open place for discussions from all players. Secondly, yes, every Forum will have its own rules and regulations. Ours are posted in the Player Code of Conduct, which is what we base our moderating decisions off of.
So, you are saying this topic should be closed?
Lock all the threads and naptime
I also kinda vote for less “shut it down immediately after the direct question has been answered”.
Marking the solution and keeping the thread open leads to it being more visible to people, room for others to piggyback related questions or follow-ups, and keeps dialogue in the same thread instead if opening a new one for the same questions.
It also seems less harsh.
You’ve changed Mech…
Edit: Seems you’re quite the influencer as a few seemed to have changed with you .
This wasn’t closed immediately, I was gladly surprised and almost gave points to the mod team, but it did get closed prematurely due to “off topic” when naysayers were the ones derailing it…
Common sense tends to propogate change I find
Are you Canadian?
- ALL topics should be closed after solution
- Topics should not be closed
- Topics should be closed only for time outs
- Topics should be closed at mod’s discretion
- Pinned topics should be left open
- Topics should be closed at op’s discretion

COLUMBUS, Ohio (WTVN) -- Ohio is one of the top five states in the nation when it comes to job cuts.
According to the executive coaching firm Challenger, Gray and Christmas, the Buckeye State ranked at number-four with more than 10,000 jobs cut in the first three months of 2018.
The retail sector, health care products and consumer products industries had the most job cuts.
Bankruptcy, store closures and company restructuring were the three biggest reasons why jobs were lost.

- "The only thing worse than Jackals are Jackals with sniper rifles!"
- —Anonymous Marine in Outskirts
Sniper is a specialized Kig-Yar rank. They are highly skilled marksmen, though they are uncommon relative to their more typically deployed comrades. Unlike most Kig-yar, snipers rarely make use of personal energy shields.
Exceptionally skilled in precision shooting, Kig-yar snipers wield particle beam rifles or Covenant carbines to great effect, eliminating long-range targets that are often hidden from sight. They act as counterparts to UNSC Marine sharpshooters.
Generally, Kig-yar snipers are considered as support units to the Covenant forces when engaging an enemy. With their superior accuracy, the Kig-yar snipers can eliminate any enemy from a distance with their long range weaponry. They are known to snipe from hard to reach places such as ledges, cliffs, rooftops, deployable lookout towers, and occasionally large branches on trees which provide them a wide view of the battleground, and more importantly, conceal their location. Their positions are often easily revealed when they fire their weapons.
Kig-yar snipers often wear headpieces which emit a faint purple glow. This glow can be seen from a distance, thus giving away the sniper's position. On lower difficulties, Kig-yar snipers are commonly seen with Covenant carbines, though snipers armed with beam rifles will still be encountered, albeit less frequently. On higher difficulties, they are more commonly seen to wield the beam rifle. In Halo 2, a single beam rifle shot on the Legendary difficulty will kill the player, regardless of the hit location. In Halo: Reach, Jackal snipers wield needle rifles and focus rifles instead of carbines and beam rifles, preventing them from achieving one-hit kills. In Halo 4, snipers are nearly always seen with beam rifles, with Jackal Rangers being the primary wielders of carbines, some snipers also wield storm rifles.
The most efficient and effective way to eliminate Kig-yar snipers is by using a long-range weaponry such as the sniper rifle, battle rifle, Covenant carbine, beam rifle, lightrifle, or binary rifle and by firing from afar without having them discovering the player's location. Sidearms with mounted scopes such as the M6C/SOCOM are also exceptional in killing them, provided that the player aims at the head. Medium-range weaponry such as the plasma rifle, the SMG, and the assault rifle can suppress the sniper, allowing the player to finish them off with a quick melee. Also if you get close enough to a sniper and it sees you, it may drop its rifle and flee. Snipers in Halo 4 will almost never flee from melee combat, instead firing their weapon at close range.
- In a Bungie interview, they stated that Jackal snipers in Halo 2 were too dangerous and too accurate. To balance the gameplay, Bungie made the Jackals' aim less accurate in Halo 3 than it was in Halo 2.
- In Halo 2, the Jackal snipers do not wear helmets, instead wearing a silver combat suit.
- It is stated on the Bungie site that only battle hardened veterans are selected to become Jackal snipers. This could suggest that as well as being a special type of rank, sniper is an elevated rank either for Jackal Majors, or that the rank exists between Minor and Major. However, their duties do not tend to involve commanding other troops.
- In Halo Wars, an upgrade for Jackal anti-infantry units replaces their weapons with particle beam rifles, implying that all Jackals can become snipers. In addition, these Jackals do not lose the ability to wear the Jackals' trademark energy shield gauntlets.
- During the level Sierra 117 in Halo 3, when the difficulty is set to Legendary, the Kig-yar on the ridge that are equipped with carbines on Easy, Normal, and Heroic, will instead be equipped with much more accurate and more powerful beam rifles.
- Kig-yar Snipers appear as hazards on many Firefight maps, such as Halo 3: ODST's level Crater (the day version), and in Halo: Reach on the maps Waterfront and Unearthed.
- In Halo 4 Jackal snipers can be coloured red, orange, blue/grey or green in colour, in the missions Infinity and Requiem green snipers can blend in with the vegetation if a player is unattentive.

It’s fall, which means…..its chili time! And what goes great with chili, gluten-free cornbread – of course. I believe I have tried making cornbread from scratch, but it was either a complete disappointment that I blocked it out completely or it wasn’t that memorable. Well, those days are gone thanks to Glutino’s Yankee Cornbread. This easy to make cornbread mix is excellent!
It took less than 15 minutes to prepare and get the cornbread into the oven. I did bake the cornbread for the entire 25 minutes before checking on it. Next time, I’ll probably look in on it about 20 minutes. At 25 minutes, the top was golden, but a bit dark in a few spots and the edges around the pan were a dark brown. I got a bit nervous that I may have over cooked it.
Well, a little darker than golden didn’t hurt the taste at all. Moist and delicious! The cornbread held together with only a few crumbs during cutting. The top and edge pieces had a nice crunchiness about them. Absolutely no gritty texture, which is always a great thing in gluten-free products. I ate pieces both plain and with butter. I can’t wait to dip it into some chili!
The Glutino Gluten-Free Yankee Cornbread is a must try and I will definitely be making again.
Glutino’s Box Recipe:
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/3 cups buttermilk*
1 egg, lightly beaten
6 tablespoons butter, melted*Preheat oven to 425°F. Lightly grease an 8 x 8 pan. Combine mix and sugar. Add wet ingredients and mix to moisten. Pour into prepared pan and bake for 25 minutes, or until top is golden. Serve warm.

Hello to all the Advertiser readers.
“I feel like I can breath again”. It was a term often heard after it became clear Joe Biden had won the 2020 US Presidential Election. Yet if Irish people felt they could ‘breath’ as the votes pointed to a Trump defeat, what was going through the minds of Americans living in Galway?
The elected members of Mayo County Council have congratulated US President-elect Joe Biden on his victory in last week's US Presidential election.
I am sure you are all square-eyed, as I am, from looking at TV for the last five or six days. Can you believe it? The American election was last Tuesday, and I am writing this column on the Tuesday of the following week, and still President Trump is shouting that the vote was stolen from him and that he is the true President.
The President of Ireland, Michael D Higgins, was among the first to congratulate American President-elect Joe Biden on his success.
The collective sighs of relief and whoops of joy were audible throughout the free-thinking world. Democrat Joe Biden eclipsed incumbent Donald Trump at the polls to become the 46th president of the United States, and also the 23rd to have Irish roots.
I expect that many people were able to look at the debate between Senator Kamala Harris for the Democratic Party and Mike Pence, the vice-president, for the Republican Party. It was on TV the morning after the debate, when RTÉ ran it for an hour and a half.
Trouble, turmoil, toil – I make no excuse for using alliteration to describe all the week’s events since we last spoke together.
He may be rank alongside James Buchanan and Herbert Hoover as the worst ever president of the United States; his country has the highest levels of Covid-19 cases (+6 million) and deaths (+183,000 - higher than the number of US soldiers killed in Vietnam), which has led to a severe spike in unemployment levels.
Well, we are where we were last week, with regard to the spread of coronavirus in Ireland. We now await with bated breath each evening to get the figures, and the clear realisation has dawned that we are full-on in the middle of the second wave of the coronavirus pandemic.

I slammed the car door and skipped barefooted to the backyard; eager to spy my grandfather toiling his garden of pimple-faced potatoes and redheaded radishes. Certain of my secret presence, I slinked from behind, giggling at my sleuthing flair. His soft, brilliant eyes smiled with playfulness as he gave tickles to my side. I was a five-year-old granddaughter, awe-struck with the sweetness of a gentle, simple man. ***I sat on the mettle stool, pushing against the wooden workbench as I twirled in circles. My eyes caught my grandfather's wink as he entered the little workshop and I grabbed the bench to a sudden stop, eager to jump to his side for a shared embrace. I melted into his belly and he tossed his brown felt cap to the chair. At ten, I could now reach my face to his soft-shaven cheek and brush him a kiss. I watched as he and my father tinkered their grease-slicked screwdrivers on old radio parts. ***I sat at the Sunday table, a teenage mind distant in thought and bored with the adult conversation passing to each end. Suddenly, my eyes reached across the table to gaze at my grandfather's face. His thinned hair now gray and his bald spot broader to the sides, I imagined few men as handsome as he. A life void of higher eduction, the pitch in his voice sparkled with interest as I discussed my college goals. ***I was called home from college, my grandfather abruptly scheduled for heart surgery. I leaned against the flat gurney as he lay, turning his face to smile and give a charm-filled wink. I brushed my hand across his and he clasped hold, still sweet and kind and beautiful. And that was my last memory of a gentle, simple man. ***I new my grandfather labored years in the Oklahoma oilfields; a hard-toiled job with rough-talking men and sweat-drenched days. I presumed he was a roughneck; an uneducated sort, but with a heart and mind that gave competition to the best.I was content with that; left with a memory of the kindest grandfather God made.And then I searched his 1930 Census record.

Early Canadian Land Petition
Those that dismiss the practice of genealogy likely see the hobby as dull and tedious; a pastime for the gray-haired sedentary set. But I shake my head, keenly aware of the head-spinning adventure they smugly resist.My experiences over the years have certainly been a testament to the knee-slapping thrills of ancestral exploration. And even to this day, I am shocked with new discoveries; constantly reminding myself to keep my eyes open and my net wide.Many of you have followed my expedition into my Hobbs' lineage as I have discovered a wealth of records and knowledge unselfishly provided by an Internet Hobbs cousin. But I have yet to reveal my recent discovery that has lead me north into the Canadian Archives.Thumbing through a stack of miscellaneous papers once again mailed by my Hobbs' contact, I paused at a digitalized copy ofa 1796 Late Loyalist List of Lower Canada. The signatures were men from Connecticut, New Hampshire
and Vermont and I spied my Hobbs ancestors on the list. Searching further through the collection, my ancestors were again found on land applications for the Province of Quebec.Thrilled with the discovery, I went straight to the Canadian Archives website, finding the records for myself. But my curiosity pressed me further as I wondered: what on earth were my Vermont ancestors doing north of the border and why was my American Revolutionary ancestor, Isaac Hobbs, signing an oath of allegiance to Canada?Perplexed and bewildered, I researched this Late Loyalist List of Lower Canada along with the history of the land petitions for Upper and Lower Canada in 1792. I zipped an e-mail to an historian at the Canadian Archives and received a very informative summary:"The term Late Loyalists were for those American settlers in Upper and Lower Canada who failed to conform to the definition of United Empire Loyalist. They were the so-called Late Loyalists who responded to invitations in 1792 by the governors of Upper and Lower Canada to file petitions for titles to lands. Many from the New England Border States were attracted by inexpensive and accessible land, as well as low taxes."It was a Canadian land rush that brought settlers from the States into Canada
. Their signage of the Late Loyalist List
was required before petitioning for the lands.My Hobbs ancestors, like many signers of the Late Loyalist List,
never followed through with pioneering Canadian land, but their brief stint into Canada, add a fun and surprising twist to their history.While browsing the Canadian Archives website, I was pleasantly surprised with the ease of the site. It is ripe with searchable census, vital and land records and I was awe-struck with the potential of locating records of New England ancestors.I learned that many of our ancestors freely hopped north and south of the border for marriages, divorces, land, etc, making the Canadian Archives a must for anyone with New England ancestors.So take a peak through the genealogical collections of the Canadian Archives--better yet, place it on your bookmark list.Like me, you may be surprised to find your ancestors jumping the border, willing to cast loyalty to the States aside, for cheap land easy fortunes.Keep searching for answers,Cheryl
"Sarah my love for you is deathless, it seems to bind me with mighty cables that nothing but Omnipotence could break...The memories of the blissful moments I have spent with you come creeping over me, and I feel most gratified to God and to you that I enjoyed them for so long...How thoughtless and foolish I have often times been! How gladly would I wash out with my tears every little spot upon your happiness...""But, O Sarah! If the dead can come back to this earth and flit unseen around those they loved, I shall always be near you; in the gladdest days and in the darkest nights...always, always, and if there be a soft breeze upon your temple, it shall be my spirit passing by. Sarah do not mourn me dead; think I am gone and wait for thee, for we shall meet again..."
*Who was the achingly lovesick author of this beautiful letter? Possibly Hemmingway, Fitzgerald or even Poe?Your guesses, though flattering, were miles off. The above excerpts of the heart-wrenching love letter were penned on July 14, 1862 at Camp Clark, Washington D.C. by Sullivan Ballou; A
Civil War soldier from Rhode Island. One week after the Union soldier poured his love and affection into the letter to his wife Sarah: Sullivan Ballou was killed in the Battle of Bull Run.And the letter was never sent; found tucked within his belongings at the time his remains were retrieved.As more and more Civil War documents are brought to light; thousands of records, held deep within the vaults of state archives, reveal the love letters from soldiers. Many of these men wrote from their hearts as they camped on blood-soaked battlefields. At a time in our history when the soldier's only communication to his wife and family was by pen and paper, the letters of Civil War soldiers allowed a private platform to describe the horrors of the war and to speak from the deepest of their souls.The letters of Civil War soldiers, many of which are love letters to their wives or sweethearts, are beautifully preserved and readable on many of the state archives and university libraries. The Library of Virginia Tech's Special Collections offers a wonderful display of soldier's love letters from the battlefield.History Happens Here, a magazine of the Missouri History Museum, began posting reprints of the James E. Love Papers: a Union soldier in St. Louis. James wrote letters to his fiance, Eliza Mary Wilson from 1861 until the end of the war. The magazine wittingly posts the letters in sequence, 150 years to the day after each letter was originally written, allowing subscribers to read them as if each were a chapter in a book, unfolding in front of them.At a time when the art of writing love letters has grown old fashioned and antiquated, reading the beautifully written letters from young men ravaged by war, feels fresh and romantic. A fitting repose for those of us who love genealogy and long to imagine...just for a moment...the aching love and loneliness of our ancestors of the Civil War.Read Sullivan Ballou's complete love letter to Sarah and dream your hearts away: 150 years after the prose was penned.The love letters of the Civil War soldier; just in time for Valentines Day.Keep searching for answers,Cheryl*(Source: PBS.org)
"Modern Journeys: The Irish In Detroit"
As human beings we have an inner drive to take risks; explore new paths that can push and pull us toward unknowns. And though change can ferment growth, a link to familiarity and sameness keep us grounded. Which has been the crux of immigrant communities throughout history; change and newness within the midst of villages of similarity.Immigrants have come in waves. The British and Dutch explored and developed the colonies in the 1600's; the Germans flocked to the states in mass in the 1800's; the Russians came to America in the early 1900's. They came for various reasons, many of which included poverty and religious persecution. But as they migrated across America they searched out each other.Immigrants grabbed hold of their bonds and formed communities across America. Dotting the country with little countries within. Irish, German, Italian villages where they could speak to one another in their native language (many Irish spoke Gaelic languages; not English) and hold on to the only cultural traditions they had known.
These little immigrant societies provided a sense of security in a world that at times was strange and intolerant.The immigrant communities have over the centuries, melded together, assimilating into a more homogeneous world. But many still h
old tightly onto to their history and traditions; which can be a goldmine for those of us in genealogy.All across America, descendants of immigrant communities have festivals, maintain historical societies and publish surname books of genealogical importance.I found my 18th German ancestors listed within the historical publication of German town, Pennsylvania.
While searching for an ancestor within another lineage, I discovered a German ancestor living on a street of the German Village of Columbus, Ohio.
And the names of my Irish ancestors were embedded within an Irish surname publication from DetroitIrish.org.It is not hard to discover the remnants of centuries old immigrant communities. In Texas, you may find your German ancestors in the historical publications of GermanTexans.org where German communities such as New Braunfels, Fredricksburg and Weimer still thrive today.If your ancestors were Polish, they may have lived in New York, Minnesotaor Connecticut. And If Italian, they could have settled in Tontitown, Arkansas where families with Italian surnames such as Bariola, Fiori and Pianalto still live in the rolling Arkansas hills.So explore the histories of little countries within a country. You may stumble upon your immigrant ancestor's name rooted within their publications.It's worth the effort.I think you could be pleasantly surprised.Keep searching for answers,Cheryl


Heavy metal bands are renowned for their strong line-ups, with legendary lead guitarists and energetic drummers. But just like every band it is the lead singer of every heavy metal band that takes the majority of the limelight. There is nothing quite like the human voice, and no two are the same. So when identifying what band is playing on the radio it is largely down to who is singing. The lead singer also represents what the band is all about, the way they dress and sing identifies the genre of the band. In this blog we look at some of the most iconic lead singers that have ever made heavy metal music.
Bruce Dickinson is a highly talented individual, he is a broadcaster and a pilot but is best known for being the lead singer of Iron Maiden. His ability of almost screaming through a whole performance is quite incredible and there has never quite been another Bruce Dickinson in heavy metal. Dickinson’s singing style was almost operatic and his antics on stage are legendary. He first came to prominence with British heavy metal band, Samson in 1979 and then two years later he joined up with Iron Maiden replacing Paul Di’Anno. Dickinson went on to be highly successful with Iron Maiden in Britain and America, as they released a series of gold and platinum albums.
Ronnie James Dio
Ronnie James Dio was an American singer who sang with a number of highly successful bands such as, Dio, Black Sabbath, Elf and Rainbow. Perhaps his most famous gift to heavy metal was his horns gesture and he loved being a throwback with his medieval-type lyrics. During his career, Dio sold nearly fifty million albums for the various bands he played for. His death in 2010 was lamented greatly by heavy metal fans from all over the world including the guitarist Ritchie Blackmore who extolled his singing style.
Rob Halford has been called a heavy metal god in many circles such is his respect in the heavy metal music industry. The English singer was the front-man of trail blazing heavy metal band Judas Priest and had one of the most powerful voices ever in heavy metal. Rob Halford’s unique voice could reach the bottom of a growl to the top end of a banshee shriek. The songs, The Mower and Painkiller demonstrate his incredible range, and he is just as happy singing blues music as heavy metal.
Phil Anselmo used to head up and sang vocals for the immensely popular heavy metal band Pantera, as well as singing for Superjoint Ritual and Down. Anselmo can sing extreme metal, heavy metal, hard rock, death metal and hardcore. He is also a talented lyricist and has written the words for many of the songs he has sang for each different band. He is a consistently good singer and especially in his live performances. We continue our look for the best heavy metal singers of all time in part two of this blog.

According to their study, name brand batteries from Duracell and Energizer last over twice as long as dollar store batteries. The exception is that you have to replace dollar store batteries more often, but since they’re cheaper, it balances out.
Which battery lasts longer Duracell or Energizer?
Energizer, Duracell rate as top batteries by Consumer Reports. Among flashlights, the battery life for an Energizer lasted about 7.3 hours. Falling short were Duracell batteries (6.8 hours) and Toys ‘R Us brand cells (4 hours). Overall, that Energizer Lithium tested best, while Duracells tested well for alkaline cells.
Is it OK to mix battery brands?
In fact, it will reduce performance and may even damage your device or cause battery leakage or rupture. As well, do not mix different battery brands within a device. And not only do they recommend not mixing across brands but they caution even so far as to say that you should not mix old and new batteries as well.

What lesson is Walker trying to get the reader to learn in "The Flowers"?
Walker's brief and haunting story suggests that appearances are deceiving. Myop is a happy young child enjoying a summer's day. She is skipping through the woods, carrying flowers, and enjoying life. However, there are many suggestions early on that this pleasant scene isn't all its cracked up to be. First, we have Myop "vaguely keeping an eye out for snakes", suggesting that the woods can be dangerous. To reinforce that, Myop finds herself in a new spot in the woods, and is unsettle by it:
She had often been as far before, but the strangeness of the land made it not as pleasant as her usual haunts. It seemed gloomy in the little cove in which she found herself.
It is after this that Myop finds the skeleton. Not only the discovery, but also the implications associated with this particular skeleton support that deception of appearances. The skeleton appears to be smiling, but clearly this man was the victim of a lynching, suggesting a violent and unpleasant life. The warn clothing of the man suggests a worker, very possibly a slave. While the stereotype of the "smiling slave" has existed for centuries, that appearance is false. Life for slaves wa dangerous and full of fear.
Myop is clearly not living in a time of slavery, but the fact that her family lives in a sharecropper's cabin connects her with that time, suggesting that her life will not as pleasant as her childhood suggests.
Alice Walker is in short showing that life is not a sugar coated as it seems. The man that she finds was probably lynched which is what happened to blacks when racism and slavery was more prevalent, also explains why he was found so far in the woods. The rose that blossoms from the noose represents the life that can be born from these tragedies. Myop's name is also a key detail because Myopic means the lack of foresight, discernment, or a narrow view of something. She's just a young girl who has stumbled upon a mans body. When she lays down her flowers that represents the innocence that is taken from her by the experience. It isn't life changing but it shows that in good vs. evil good doesn't always win but from the fallen comes new life, in some form.


As concerns have recently reemerged over the level of violence in the South Seattle area, the Emerald spoke with Seattle City Councilman Bruce Harrell, who chairs the city’s Public Safety Committee, and who also recently led a community discussion on violence reduction at the Southeast Seattle Senior Center. Councilman Harrell currently resides in South Seattle.
Emerald: You recently led a community forum on the topic of violence prevention in the South Seattle area. Community Meetings, as they relate to violence, are dismissed by many as a “token” response that rarely ever results in any action being taken. Why should residents have cause for optimism after this particular meeting?
Bruce Harrell: First of all we are developing an actionable plan that we should be able to announce this month. We’re putting not only resources behind it, but best practices we’ve taken from other cities, as well as some creative ideas about how to protect our community in the South End of Seattle. So my attitude about meetings like that are, number one, I try to make sure that we can talk about everything, including things our own community can do. An example would be that one East African attendant spoke up and said that: “You know, I don’t see East Africans here and you need to do better outreach to make sure that my community is represented at these kinds of meetings.” I told him that he was right, and that we would do everything possible to do that, but I added: “You need to do the same thing. You need to figure out, how we can reach your community, as we have tried to reach out.” We established an immigrant/refugee commission, specifically for that purpose. We now have an East African person in our Police Academy, which we’re proud of.
That’s a prime example to me of, when people are demanding that others do things, that they feel empowered to do it themselves. I live by a quote: “You either accept things the way they are, or you accept responsibility for changing them.” So, I think that the meeting was a very good one. It gave people the chance to meet our police officers and to let them know that we do care about South Seattle, and that they do have leaders who are developing plans to protect our community.
Emerald: Some people say that the easy remedy to violence in the area is to simply have more police officers around, however, an expanded police presence is a very polarizing issue amongst South Seattle residents. How can it be assured that police officers are viewed as actual partners with the community in fostering a safer South Seattle?
BH: The fact of the matter is that we can not have police officers on every corner arresting kids for just standing around being who they are. We also have to give our own community leaders the tools to empower themselves.
I think that there are people who have come from the street life, and have found a way to overcome it. They have dealt with the negative messaging that they have received in their lives and now are giving back and can help us improve our communities. I think that as an investment strategy we need to know who these individuals and groups are, and we need to double down on them. Again, we all know that we can’t arrest ourselves out of all the problems we have. We need to flood the streets with these kinds of good folks.
I also think that our officers need to be better trained to build community trust, and community relations at every opportunity. I recently attended a meeting at Rainier Beach High School, and I watched a couple of officers stand by the hallway and simply watch the crowd for a long period of time, to then only walk out of the school and get right into their car. What I wanted to impress upon the officers is that this is the time you build community, and public trust. So I want to see more officers, like Captain John Hayes, who seems to know everyone’s name in the community, and who can walk around and mix it up. Because when we couple that with the right kind of outreach, we can move the needle. The other component is that the “no snitch”policy is a cancer to our community, and when we see shootings, we need to be able to break that. What has been effective in some other cities is to get high profile spokespeople, athletes, celebrities, people that come from the community, to help us change that cultural norm and that has to be very intentional when we are losing these lives.
Emerald: How do you think the city can empower organizations that are currently working in South Seattle to address the public safety issue?
BH: Right now I’m trying to figure out what organizations have the ability to scale up, and provide us some capacity to move the needle in terms of cultural norms, and can really make a difference. So, I think the first thing we need to do is take an inventory of these organizations and invest in them. The city’s role then is to be the quarterback or the facilitator in allowing these organizations to do what they do best, and that is reaching the community and changing the conversation, so that communities can feel empowered to protect themselves.
Emerald: Economic Development has often been trumpeted as a silver bullet for public safety concerns around South Seattle, however, many people view it as a “trojan horse” for gentrification. You would be hard pressed to find a resident who wouldn’t love all of South Seattle to be a consistently safe and vibrant place, but they would also love to still afford to reside there when that happens. Could you address that issue?
BH: I think it first starts with a vision, and that vision has to be described with some level of specificity. So if I was to describe a great vision for South Seattle it would be that it remains affordable, so that you wouldn’t see huge seven figure homes in these areas with very few affordable homes and it would be safe. so I don’t think that you compromise price just because it becomes safe. That’s where the beauty of small business comes into play. You have to have a barbershop, a pizza place, a small restaurant, or a store where you can buy clothing. You have to have a vibrant small business atmosphere that, again, is safe and has parking, that you can use transit to get there. It has to be vibrant, so that anyone, from any part of town, feels comfortable going there. A great example is the resident led resurgence going on in Hillman City.
You don’t have that vibrancy in some areas of South Seattle. The medical cannabis dispensary is not the kind of small business that attracts a lot of patrons; they only attract a certain kind of patron. So the vision is of safe, active, vibrant, small business development, affordable housing, open space, parks that are activated, police officers who walk and ride bikes around, that’s a good community and an affordable community.
Emerald: With our potential police chief, Kathleen O’Toole, being an outsider to the city, many have questioned if a person who lacks a familiarity with the area can really hope to address the concerns of South Seattle. What is your feeling on that?
BH: I would have absolutely loved to have had a chief who knows all parts of our city, in particular the South End, but we don’t have that. The mayor made it clear that it was his preference to go outside the existing culture, and I accept that. So now, what’s most important is that Chief O’Toole gets the intel needs and that she has actual experience with dealing with some of the roughest neighborhoods in the country, and she does. I sat in on her interview panel, and that was exactly my line of inquiry. She spent a lot of time overseas as well, and I wanted to make sure that she had the credibility and experience in dealing with some of the tougher areas, and I’m fully convinced she does. In fact I think she will shine in that regard. She will have a learning curve to know the players in the community and so forth, but I think she is a quick learner and I think we’ll be very pleased with her ability to adjust.
Emerald: There’s a lot of conversation that if Rainier Beach, Skyway, Othello, etc, where instead Fremont or Wallingford, the type of violence and crime that’s been experienced wouldn’t be accepted by the city. What can be done to fix the perception that there is a divide in what the city tolerates in certain areas in comparison to others?
BH: If you walk other neighborhoods, and parts of this city, as I do, such as Lake City Way, University District, Pioneer Square, you will hear the exact same thing, that conditions are intolerable, yet the city leaders do not make the right level of investments into those areas. The fact of the matter is using federal funds, state funds, and city funds, we should again double down on the South End, because of the rates of poverty, the rates of unemployment, the graduation rates that aren’t where we need them to be, and I think that while we can greatly improve that, we don’t have leaders who are neglectful of that part of town.
I go back to what I said earlier, for those people who want more attention and resources, join me in making sure we get them. a lot of time, when I do my inventory organizations in the community, I ask: “What do you need? How can we help you succeed?”
As someone who sees these drive bys and shootings, I understand the frustrations people have, and I don’t mean to minimize them, but many of us have been dealing with them for 30 to 40 years, and I think it’s symptomatic of what’s happening in our country. You notice in almost every city, in every state, you have under invested areas, but I’m very optimistic that we’re putting strategies in place to improve them. Cleveland High School is a great example of that. The graduation rates have gone up 20 percent and the PTA has broken records in fundraising! So there are things that are rising in the right direction and what sets us back is another dead body found in the street.

JimJ: WHAT DOES THE U.S. owe blacks? Slavery is still practiced underground in parts of the World. After the U.S. ended it with the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863: 1863: In the United States, Abraham Lincoln issues the presidential order the Emancipation Proclamation declaring slaves in Confederate-controlled areas to be freed.

With 50G passive optical networks (PONs) currently being standardized, we review the challenges of meeting the high loss budgets required in such high speed fiber access networks. Simulations of the 50 Gb/s link performance show the impact of critical parameters when using 25G-class avalanche photodiode receivers with digital signal processing. We describe how a 1342 nm electro-absorption modulated laser, with an external semiconductor optical amplifier, enables an E2-class, 20 km, downstream link for ITU-T, 50G-PON to be demonstrated. Using a 25G-class receiver and real-time equalization, a link budget of 35.6 dB was measured. With more powerful equalization performed offline, an increase in the link budget to 38.2 dB is also demonstrated.
