WELCOME TO THE GUILD FOR SPIRITUAL GUIDANCE
The Guild is a non-profit, contemplative community that provides lifelong membership in a guild for spiritual guidance following the completion of a two-year certificate program in the applied practice of spiritual listening and sacred response.
The Guild's founders – among them, John Yungblut, Henri Nouwen, Madeline L'Engle, Walter Wink, Morton Kelsey, Douglas Steere, and Nan Merrill – believed that the journey of learning to listen spiritually and to respond to all life in a sacred manner is an on-going, lifelong process. Towards this, the foundational narrative for our apprenticeship program is the continuing evolution of the universe story; human consciousness; and, our communal role with the Divine in this journey. Afterwards, lifelong membership in the Graduate Guild is provided to encourage members to listen and respond to their inner teachings; the emergent wisdom of the universe story; and, our sacred soul tasks in relationship with Divine Mystery.
From its founding in 1977, the Guild has evolved to incorporate new insights born of a continuous process of self-evaluation. New wisdom and scholarship has been incorporated into each of the core themes, what the Guild calls "strands," as new generations of scholars serve as strand cultivators. The format of the Apprenticeship Program has evolved and continues to do so, as the needs of seekers have changed, while the Graduate Guild encourages our lifelong members to explore new ways to whole-heartedly serve in diverse professions, spiritualities, places of worship, and local/global communities.

"What is being practiced in the pursuit of this vocation is an art, not a science; the gentle art of spiritual guidance." -- John Yungblut
"The Guild might be exactly what spiritual people today have been seeking. it's a way to sink deeply into the spiritual life." -- Peggy Clarke
"There is something so magical, so powerful that takes place when a group is collectively open to learn and feels safe with one another." -- Catharine Voucher
Our Mission
The Guild for Spiritual Guidance, a non-profit organization, equips seekers and leaders to explore new ways to whole-heartedly serve in diverse professions, spiritualities, places of worship, and local/global communities. Acknowledging our interconnections and interdependence, we are committed to human being as a radically inclusive circle of trust. Membership in the Guild is understood to involve a commitment to a sustained discipline in the life of the Spirit, including a lifelong pursuit of the inward journey and concerned response through sacred action in the world.

Sacred Love/Life

Connections and Interdependence
spiritual Listening
Our Universe and Earth are evolving, alongside our understanding of Divine Mystery. As a Guild, we are listening and responding. In renewing our vision of what we can be, as both seekers/spiritual leaders and as human beings, we believe that our hearts and spirit can be rekindled in this time of uncertainty. We are in a unique time in big history, the Great Turning, shifting into a consciousness that impacts all aspects of life on our planet. A long loving look at this Ultimate Reality encourages us to grasp unexpected connections and to live into questions that, for the first time in centuries, aligns spiritual, scientific, and historical insights, enhancing our understanding of ourselves within an evolving, living universe:
It's 'the new story' of our time – the realer reality behind the apparent one, blurring the boundaries between science, history, and spirituality
It's a call to deeper, spiritual listening – to awaken to our place and responsibilities within this shift
And, it's the blessed opportunity to consider contemplative ways of being in the world – that can shape our sacred, active responses
We live today in an age of transition – we are waking up to the social, economic, spiritual, political, relational, cultural and ecological impacts we produce in every action we choose. Everything is connected. We were born out of this Earth, this Universe, these Stars! And, with every breath we take, we are in relationship with it all – with the depths of our Self, with other people and the environment, and with the transcendent Divine Mystery beyond what we see. An integrative understanding of this reality, which is what led our original founders to develop our four Strands (Sacred Consciousness; Sacred Love/Life; Sacred Earth/Universe; and Sacred Community), is the Guild for Spiritual Guidance's part of the Great Story.
SACRED RESPONSE
Want to help significantly change the spiritual state of our planet? Contemplation in action involves withdrawing from the world in reflection but not to escape from the world or its problems. Rather, this stepping back offers a chance to take a penetrating look at the world as it truly is, in all its beauty and gift as well as its pain and injustice. It involves looking critically at the underlying structures of injustice and finding a way to be part of their transformation. At the same time, contemplation also nurtures our spirit. Out of this inner fullness, our actions become like a sacrament in this world — co-creating with Divine Mystery and making Spirit visible in our hurting world. It's an "ethic of ultimate concern," an embodied engagement that moves out of contemplation into action in the human sphere and into the Great Story as a story of love.
As a community, the Guild empowers our members to integrate their spirituality within their current professional and volunteer work, local communities, spiritualities and places of worship. Members are affirmed for their gifts of presence and compassionate listening and are encouraged to embark on ministries of sacred response. Our members serve, variously, as community activists; therapists, pastoral counselors; social workers; shelter workers; prison chaplains; medical professionals; hospice helpers; educators; business executives and consultants; non-profit directors and administrators; artists; body-oriented therapists/teachers; teachers of diverse kinds; forest rangers; environmentalists; engineers; barbers; carpenters; disaster relief workers; clergy, pastors, and religious leaders; spiritual directors and companions; and, more.

What is the Apprenticeship Program?
The Apprenticeship Program begins with an in-person three-day retreat on the beautiful pastoral and contemplative grounds of Wisdom House in Litchfield, CT and culminates with an in-person three-day graduation retreat at the close of the two-year program. There are three additional in-person twenty-four hour sessions and fifteen online day-long gatherings. Each monthly session includes a teaching in one of our Strands, deepening relationship to self and others in our community as well as learnings and practices of listening, presence, discernment and exploration of areas of potential practicum opportunities.
During the program, apprentices are expected to fully participate in all monthly gatherings and assignments, complete experiential components in-between monthly sessions, write a reflection paper at the end of year one and complete a practicum project at the end of the program. Each apprentice must enter a personal program of spiritual guidance with a qualified guide and in year-two select a mentor from the Graduate Guild to guide their practicum.
Apprentices receive a Certificate upon completion of the two-year program and are eligible to make arrangements with the Graduate Theological Foundation for credit toward a Masters Degree in Pastoral Theology.

After an end to end opening ten minutes the first points of the game came from the boot of Lachlan Coote as he kicked a thirty metre penalty.
The first four pointer was a cross between clumsy and freak. Jonny Lomax stripped the ball from Daryl Clarke on the Saints line and as the ball bounced right and Blake Austin picked up the loose ball to dive over. Stefan Ratchford kicked a simple conversion for a 6-2 lead.
Mark Percival levelled the score when, on eighteen, Saints kept the ball alive on the last tackle with Zeb Taia putting the inside ball for the centre to cross. Coote slid his ball wide of the H's, all square at 6-6.
A second Coote penalty edged the Saints back into a two point lead on twenty-three.
A shocking Mike Cooper tackle on Danny Richardson saw the Wolves prop yellow-carded on twenty-seven and on thirty-seven Louis McCarthy-Scarsbrook crashed the Wolves line from five metres out to ground on the line for Saints second of the night. Coote kicked the conversion, the Saints 14-6 ahead.
Three minutes later and the one-way traffic continued as Jony Lomax hit the Wolves line, stepped twice, and made it over fro a four pointer. Coote added the extras an in the nine minutes since Cooper was sin-binned the Saints had opened up a fourteen point lead, a lead that they held until the interval.
On forty-two McCarthy-Scarsbrook has a try turned down as he knocked on as he tries to ground a grubber kick.
Three minutes later Daryl Clark grasped a lifeline for the Wolves as he went right from dummy half before dropping the left shoulder, spinning in the tackle and dropping over the line. Ratchford added the conversion to narrow the margin to 12-20.
A Coote high kick caused mayhem in the Wolves defence as they allowed it to bounce, Matty Lees collecting the loose ball to bounce off two tacklers to score under the sticks. Coote added the extras to put Saints 26-12 ahead.
Regan Grace sealed Saints win when he broke for thirty metres to score. Tom Lineham jumped on Grace after he'd grounded the ball, making contact with the head, and the referee awarded a try, and a penalty, the 'lesser spotted' eight point try. Coote kicking both for 34-12.
Kevin Naiqama was provider, at the end of a six pass move, for Tommy Makinson to allow the winger to score a hallmark diving try to the corner to register Saints sixth try of the night, the Wolves now just passengers as they waited for the final hooter. Coote was unable to add the extras, Saints 38-12 ahead.
This was a comprehensive win for St Helens which see's them jump ahead of the Warrington Wolves to regain the top spot which they reliquished last weekend. It was the perfect response to last weeks disappointment and sends out a message to the rest of Super League that they won't easily be pushed off their path to the minor premiership. Wolves fans and coaching staff will be upset by the nature and size of the defeat and will look back to that ten minute spell at the end of the first half when they were a man down.
Both sides head into the Easter period looking for two wins to keep their challenges alive.

Besides being an online marketplace for new and used cars, CarTrade also provides reviews, on-road prices, car comparisons and latest auto news. In the last quarter, the company forayed into auto finance and will soon launch insurance services, where users can buy insurance policies through its platform.
Ravi Mehra, President and Auction Head at Cartridge, said: "This acquisition addresses a crucial challenge – the ability to inspect vehicles promptly across the spread of the country. The ability to touch and feel vehicles not only enables smooth and efficient used vehicle transactions but is also the core for supplementary propositions, which includes aspects like re-finance, warranties, insurance etc." Read more about Indian Startup Ecosystem.

Obama stars in promo video for anti-gerrymandering group
CBS News,
Former President Barack Obama stars in a promotional video against gerrymandering released Wednesday by the National Democratic Redistricting Committee (NDRC), an organization formed by former Attorney General Eric Holder. Holder's group aims to fight partisan redistricting.
In the nearly three-minute video, Obama advocates for "protecting" democracy through "rethinking the way we draw our congressional districts."
President Obama on Gerrymandering, Redistricting, & the 2018 Midterm Elections by NDRC on YouTube
Obama explains the logistics of gerrymandering and the effect it might have on representation in Congress, detailing how technology permits the party in power to "precision-draw" the map and win more seats with fewer votes.
"It means that politicians don't have to worry as much about a serious challenge from the other side," Obama said. "That moves our debate from the rational, reasonable middle, where most Americans are, to the extremes. And that makes common sense policies that most Americans support less likely."
Founded in 2016, the NDRC is a not-for-profit 527 organization that combats gerrymandering through legal action, grassroots mobilization and elections, according to the group's website.
In the video, Obama said he supports the NDRC because "politicians shouldn't pick their voters; voters should pick their politicians."
Obama said the practice tends to benefit special interests like those "who want to protect tax breaks for the most powerful or the gun lobby or environmental polluters."
"But it's not good for our children," Obama said. "And regardless of our party affiliations, it's not good for our democracy."
The video comes just months before the November midterm elections. Primaries have yet to take place in over 20 states before the general elections for the House and Senate on Nov. 6.
Obama noted in the video that this year's elections are of great significance since the officials elected will serve during the redistricting process in 2021. He then called on voters to elect candidates who find common cause with the NDRC and support fair redistricting.
"Help our democracy work better by electing representatives who actually represent all of us once again," the former president said.
In this year's election cycle, the NDRC will target 12 states, including Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Ohio — four traditionally-blue or swing states President Trump won in 2016.
Obama has taken up congressional redistricting as a primary cause since his departure from the White House to challenge the Republican majorities in Congress.
The Supreme Court recently declined to hear two cases about gerrymandering.

Dystopian fiction, romance, short stories, parenting guides, environmental histories, royal drama . . . We're all over the place this month.

Baby, You're Gonna Be Mine: Stories
By Kevin Wilson
In this collection of short stories, Kevin Wilson moves from being a very good writer to a truly great one. It's my favorite book of 2018 so far.

Early Work: A Novel

Beautiful young wanna-be writers have sex, get drunk, read great books, procrastinate, have more sex. It should be an awful book, but Martin is such a good writer and astute observer, it winds up being fantastic.
His Favorites: A Novel

If you want a novel that explains how #metoo happens, this is it. Jo got into serious trouble in the past and is determined not to bother anyone in the future, making her easy prey. How the book also manages to be funny is beyond me, but it does.

The Silence of the Girls: A Novel
By Pat Barker
This Booker Prize-winning author known for her WWI trilogy now tackles The Iliad, but with a twist. The story is written from the point of view of Briseis, the queen who became Achilles's war prize. After reading Madeline Miller's Circe earlier this year, I loved seeing how another author deftly handled Greek mythology from a woman's point of view. I hope this is a start of a trend.

Whiskey When We're Dry
By John Larison
Debut author John Larison writes with the absolute power of a master. This book is for fans who wish Cormac McCarthy and Larry McMurtry would sit down over a bottle of whiskey in a small town out West and write a book together. There's nothing left for me to do but turn back to the first page and begin again.

Set in near future America, a dystopian world limits women to 100 words a day. Protagonist Jean, her daughter Sonia (age six), and all other women of the country have been forced to quit their jobs and wear metal counters on their wrists to ensure they don't go over their word limit. Any feminist interested in linguistics will enjoy this unconventional read.

Ninety-Nine Glimpses of Princess Margaret
By Craig Brown
Confession: I picked this up because I couldn't wait to read the juicy insider anecdotes about the first real tabloid darling. And it was full of salacious bits–but this unconventional biography is fuller and more poignant than that. It's a portrait of a lonely, unmoored woman who presents as a caricature because she thinks that her value as a dinner guest lies in the story she gives the host to tell the next day.
Seaweed Chronicles: A World at the Water's Edge
By Susan Hand Shetterly
For the reader who comes from some little hamlet in the world and thinks that the sun going down over the river they swam in or the mountain behind their house is The Most Beautiful View on Earth and wants to make sure their kids and grandkids get to see it and love it, too. My hamlet is Rockbridge County, Virginia — Ms. Shetterly's is Downeast Maine. I get it. (Also, sushi will never look the same after this book. . .)
Dopesick: Dealers, Doctors, and the Drug Company that Addicted America
By Beth Macy
Sure, you've heard about the opiod crisis by now. But you don't KNOW this story until you've read this book–until you've met the high school football star who OD'd on heroin, or the mother driving her 19-year-old honor student to prison, or the county coroner who examined a son on Monday and his parents on Tuesday. Meet the victims, the villains, and the everyday heroes fighting to end it. This is happening NOW.

Tragedy Plus Time: A Tragi-comic Memoir
By Adam Cayton-Holland

The Removes: A Novel

This story of the Indian Wars is told from three perspectives: General George Custer, his wife Libbie who went West with him, and a young white woman captured by the Cheyenne. Lovers of historical fiction, take note — it's a great read!
Small Animals: Parenthood in the Age of Fear
Part memoir, part parenting narrative, Small Animals is a deeply compelling look at parenthood, childhood, and fear. Brooks' own experience of the fallout after briefly leaving her child in the car provides a riveting framework through which to explore the ways American parenthood, and particularly motherhood, has changed.
How to be a Happier Parent: Raising a Family, Having a Life, and Loving (Almost) Every Minute

They should give this book out in hospitals when babies are born — or on the first day of preschool. No one could be better suited to write it than KJ Dell'Antonia, former editor of the parenting column for the New York Times and truly happy person. Her calm, rational voice and positive, helpful approach make this a must-have for all parents of young children.

American Prison: A Reporter's Undercover Journey into the Business of Punishment
By Shane Bauer
As a first-hand account of working as a security guard in a chaotic, understaffed correctional facility in Louisiana, this is gripping stuff. But Mother Jones reporter Shane Bauer interweaves his story — in which he learns disturbing things not only about the for-profit prison business, but also about his own sense of self — with well-researched historical context. A necessary companion to The New Jim Crow.

First Editions Club: September Selection
The Wildlands
By Abby Geni
Our First Editions pick for September is also Catherine's staff pick for the month. She says, "A category 5 tornado rips through Mercy, Oklahoma, and the McCloud children find themselves orphaned and their home decimated. Geni's brilliant novel follows the three remaining McClouds in the aftermath. Pick this up with confidence if you loved Karen Joy Fowler's We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves. I just fell into the story and couldn't put down this tense and heartbreaking novel."
We're not the only ones loving this literary thriller. Check out what critics are saying:
Geni's "fascination with the borders between human and animal drives this distinctive sophomore novel . . . Geni continues to create works of art with perfect voices that are simultaneously thrillers and meditations on nature. It is an incredible trick." —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"Disasters both natural and personal are at the heart of Geni's bold and adventurous latest . . . The novel is particularly notable for its interrogations of human relationships with the natural world, in keeping with Geni's previous works. This is a fast-paced, high-stakes novel that will keep the reader turning the pages." —Publishers Weekly
"Geni extends her signature and deeply unnerving exploration of the permeable line between wildness and civilization in this teeth-gritting tale of a young man broken by grief and rage and a trusting child turned fugitive, a girl disguised as a boy whose identity is scrambled and life endangered . . . Geni's masterfully precise and harrowing depictions of emotional and physical suffering culminate in a surreal and catastrophic showdown involving a California zoo. In this staggering tale of loss intimate and ecological, Geni joins T. C. Boyle, Barbara Kingsolver, Annie Proulx, and Hannah Tinti in portraying humankind as both the planet's most dangerous predator and one of myriad species vulnerable to ecodisasters of our own unintended devising. Riveting, provocative, and unforgettable." —Booklist (starred review)

"It's all about the book." More thoughts on reading from Kathy Schultenover, Parnassus Book Clubs Manager:
As summer winds down, I've been thinking about how not every summer book has to be light and "beachy." I read two this summer that qualify as fast-moving, absorbing page-turners. Neither could be called light, and both would make satisfying, stimulating choices for your book club list this fall — or anytime.
The Widow Nash by Jamie Harrison takes place in the early 20th century American West. It begins with a father and daughter who track earthquakes around the world. When he dies, she's left to try to find the fortune he has hidden away before her abusive fiancé can get it. She decides to flee the relationship, fake her own death, and change her identity (to "the Widow Nash") as she roams the Western states. This is a fun adventure story with a mystery at its core: Will Dulcy find happiness and the hidden fortune before her past life catches up with her?
In Country Dark by Chris Offutt, a returning Korean War veteran finally finds work running moonshine through rural Eastern Kentucky. Once he falls in love and marries, Tucker creates a loving home with his wife despite hard luck and grinding poverty. When the state threatens to take away his children, Tucker is driven to violence, and his desperate actions begin to close in around him. Offutt's rendering of the Appalachian hills and hollows put me in mind of the FX television series Justified; many of the characters could have been interchangeable. This book comes recommended by Ron Rash (Serena), Tom Franklin (Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter), Silas House (Southernmost), Stewart O'Nan (West of Sunset), and Daniel Woodrell (Winter's Bone).
Both of these are such compelling reads and good book club books with plenty of material to spark lively discussions.

Q: Defining default values as an array in Ruby results in values being overwritten I am working on some code that takes in a sending_destination object (which are instructions on how to send some data to a group of people).
  sending_destination = MyApp::Model::SendingDestination.where(:id => some_id)
  destination_hash = Hash.new{ |h,k| h[k] = [] }

  sending_destination.each do |destination|
    if destination.send_to_group?
      group_users = destination.address # this retrieves n-number of `User` objects
      group_users.each do |user|
        destination[:address] = user.user_id
        destination_hash[job_signature(destination)] << destination
      end
    end
  end

The above code takes in a destination object, retrieves the user_id of this user, and assigns it to destination's address field. So let's say I have 3 users of IDs 1, 2, and 3 respectfully, then destination[:address] for each user would become 1, 2, and 3.
And this is the definition of job_signature:
private_class_method def self.job_signature(destination)
  format = destination[:format]
  "#{format}|#{!!destination[:apply_formatting]}|#{!!destination[:apply_vis]}|#{destination.id}"
end

This just generates a string based on the properties within destination and is then the key used per destination for the following destination_hash.
destination_hash[job_signature(destination)] << destination

The above line of code results in the following hash - the :address value would be incremented in each loop where the key is job_signature(destination) and the value is destination.
{"csv|false|false|1" => [
MyApp::Model::SendDestination {
  : id => 1,
  : scheduled_plan_id => 1,
  : type => "email_group",
  : format => "csv",
  : address => "1",
  : apply_formatting => false,
  : apply_vis => false,
}]}

Everything seems to work fine.. except all my values (the MyApp::Model::SendDestination part) within destination_hash gets replaced by the last assigned destination object. For example, one would expect the respective :address of 3 destinations assigned are 1, 2, and 3. But when I print out the destination_hash outside of the .each, all destination objects show the :address of 3.
The following is the resulting destination_hash object. As you can see, the :address value is all 3. Instead, it should be 1, 2, and 3.
{
  "csv|false|false|1" => [
  MyApp::Model::SendDestination @values = {
    ... # I removed the unnecessary key-values for demo purposes
    :address => "3", # this should be "1"
    ...
  }],
  "csv|false|false|2" => [
  MyApp::Model::SendDestination @values = {
    ...
    :address => "3", # this should be "2"
    ...
  }],
  "csv|false|false|3" => [
  MyApp::Model::SendDestination @values = {
    ...
    :address => "3", # this is correct
    ...
  }]
}

So my question is - why are all my destination objects being replaced by the last object assigned?

A: The problem seems to be that when you push destination into one of the values of destination_hash here:
destination_hash[job_signature(destination)] << destination

you push the actual object and not a copy (ie by reference and not by value).
This means that when you change the destination object in the next iteration here:
destination[:address] = user.user_id

you change the object everywhere it exists including where you pushed it last time.
Try replacing
destination_hash[job_signature(destination)] << destination

with
destination_hash[job_signature(destination)] << destination.clone # or equivalent

Building C (Joiner's Shop)
Monticello, Charlottesville, VA, United States
Last quarter 18th/first quarter 19th century. Phasing and mean ceramic dates can be found on the Chronology Page.
Oriol Pi-Sunyer; William Kelso; Susan Kern.
Pi-Sunyer
Mulberry Row Reassessment
Location of project area.
The Joinery, identified by Thomas Jefferson as Building C or the joiner's shop, was a space used by both enslaved and free craftsmen for fine architectural and furniture woodworking. Located near the western end of Mulberry Row, the Joinery operated between c.1776 and c.1826 and today is one of the few sites at Monticello where architectural remains are visible above ground. For many years following the sale of Monticello Plantation after Jefferson's death, this structure was identified mistakenly as the Nailery; however, both the location and construction materials of the foundation support its identification as the Joinery. Pi-Sunyer uncovered the stone underpinning in 1957, whereas more recent excavations focused on neighboring landscape features rather than the Joinery proper. Dr. William Kelso intercepted the southwest corner of the foundation as he traced a Jefferson-period fence line during excavations in 1979. In 1994, Dr. Susan Kern encountered the foundation's north edge during her search for Mulberry Row tree planting holes.
Although the exact construction date of the Joinery is not known, a c.1776 conjectural sketch shows a "Joiner's shop" (labeled building "No. 4") in line with a wood yard, timber yard, and several other structures (Jefferson: N85). The location for the proposed structures is not specified, yet the document suggests a joinery was envisioned as early as 1776.
Excerpt from early plan drawing of Mulberry Row, c.1776-1778 (Jefferson: N87) aligned with map of excavations. The Joinery is outlined in red between the
A measured drawing (c.1776-1778) similar to N85 depicts a "Joiners" building in a row of structures near a garden (Jefferson: N87). The "Joiners" on N87 is located on the east rather than west end of Mulberry Row, between the "Negro Quarter" and a "Workmen's House" (Jefferson: N87 and N88) and near the future site of Building r (Jefferson: N133). Excavations at the Building t site revealed the remains of the "Negro Quarter," dating to the 1770s and in the location depicted on N87. Similarly, the "Workmen's House" on N87 corresponds with the extant Building E (see image, right). The dimensions of both structures, as well as the distance between them, matches almost exactly with the measurements provided on N87. Given that those two buildings were both planned and constructed in the 1770s suggests an early "Joiners" building probably existed on the east end of Mulberry Row. The area where an early "Joiners" may have once stood is unexcavated, so it is not possible at this time to determine if the plan to build the "Joiners" building on N87 was implemented.
Several years later, in a letter dated March 2, 1784, Jefferson mentions a "new shop" along Mulberry Row, which may refer to a newly-constructed Joinery (Boyd 1950 (7): 3):
"…build the house between little house and new shop…"
The earliest surviving document that records the Joinery in a location that better matches the archaeological findings is Jefferson's 1796 Mutual Assurance Declaration (Jefferson: N133). Building C was identified as:
"a joiner's shop, 57. feet by 18. feet, the underpinning and chimney of stone, the walls and roof of wood."
Extensive documentation of the presence of the Joinery on Mulberry Row exists after 1800. An insurance inventory from 1800 records a "Joiner's shop," valued at 320 dollars (Bear and Stanton 1997:1025). An Albermarle County Survey of Monticello, conducted the same year, describes a one-story joinery (Jefferson: N546, as reproduced in Hill 2002b (8)). After 1806, the Joinery appears on most maps of the mountain as a landmark (Jefferson: N203 p.2, N204, N209, N214, N215, N216, N218, N225). Visitors to Monticello after Jefferson's death in 1826 describe the crumbling foundation and chimney of the joinery. For example, visitor Emma Frances Allen wrote in 1899, mistakenly identifying the Joinery as the Nailery (Hill 2003 (4): Section 23):
"Leaving the cemetery & driving through the woods an eighth of a mile or so, and still ascending, we came to the lawn, and soon passed the ruins of the nail factory. Parts of three walls are standing, well draped with ivy which here keeps green the year through…"
Historical accounts identify people, both enslaved and free, who worked at the Joinery. Jefferson hired Thomas Walker in 1773 to construct elements for Monticello I (Hill 2003 (8): Section 6). Later, David Watson worked off and on as a joiner from 1781 to 1797. James Dinsmore, John Neilson, and James Oldham also worked as skilled joiners during the construction of Monticello II (Bear and Stanton 1997:508, 985, 1163; Hill 2003 (8): Section 6). Watson and Dinsmore taught Monticello slaves John Hemings and Lewis, among other enslaved assistants, the intricacies of joining. Hemings in particular became recognized as a skilled furniture maker and trained other slaves in the trade. Account books, letters, sketches, notes, and inventories relating to woodworking done at the Joinery and in the Monticello Mansion provide glimpses into the daily lives of the joiners (Hill 2003(8): Section 6; Hill 2003(10); Self and Stein 1998).
In 1957, Pi-Sunyer cleared a dense layer of vegetation and soil from the extant Joinery foundation and building interior before mapping the foundation and chimney. To confirm details of wall construction, he excavated a narrow test trench along the north, east, and west walls, as well as a small test unit overlapping part of the northwest wall of the foundation. He focused less on artifact recovery than on architectural features of the structure; therefore, data from his excavations are not included in the Mulberry Row Reassessment Project.

Kelso intercepted the southwest corner of the structure as he followed evidence for a Jefferson-period fence line (FG01 and FG02) above the garden in 1979 (Kelso 1982 and 1997). The following year, he excavated an area adjacent to the building foundation, as well as a four-unit trench perpendicular to Mulberry Row and extending south into the modern garden. There he uncovered a possible Jefferson-period "warming bed" (F11), a type of planting feature, as well as some rubble and artifacts associated with the Joinery.
Kern encountered a northern segment of the Joinery foundation while conducting excavations along the south side of the Mulberry Row roadbed.
The Joinery site has been analytically and archaeologically revisited periodically since initial excavation in the 1950s. Recent re-cataloguing of the assemblage and related reanalysis of the site stratigraphy by the Monticello Department of Archaeology provides new insights into the history and dynamics of this site.
In 1957 Oriol Pi-Sunyer conducted an archaeological investigation of Mulberry Row with three research goals: 1) to re-locate building foundations along Mulberry Row; 2) to determine the use of each structure and; 3) to gather artifacts found in the course of excavations (Pi-Sunyer 1957 and 1963). At the Joinery, Pi-Sunyer cleared the foundation "of a blanket of soil and vegetation that covered and obscured large portions of it" (Pi-Sunyer 1957: 7) prior to his architectural analysis. To confirm details of wall construction, he excavated a narrow test trench along the north, east, and west walls, as well as a small test unit overlapping part of the northwest wall of the foundation. Artifacts from these excavations have little contextual information associated with them and are therefore not included in DAACS.
After exposing the Joinery substructure completely, Pi-Sunyer conducted a detailed architectural analysis. The foundation measured 18-by-51 feet, with walls consisting of "unfaced, or at the best crudely faced, stone coursed with little to no mortar" (Pi-Sunyer 1957: 8) and averaging about two feet in thickness. Only at the corners and near the chimney did Pi-Sunyer document the presence of mortar and faced stones. Inside the building he uncovered a concentration of flat stones centered on the north wall, which he interpreted as an entrance, an intact stone and brick firebox and chimney opposite, and a floor of packed clay. The chimney, still standing today, had a brick-lined firebox and included four cement-lined cavities that most likely supported wooden beams. Part of the south wall showed evidence of two periods of construction or repair (Pi-Sunyer 1957: 7-10). Given the location, dimensions, and other architectural features of the Joinery foundation, Pi-Sunyer identified this structure as the Joinery (Building c) recorded by Jefferson on the 1796 Mutual Assurance Plat (Pi-Sunyer 1957: 26). Finally, Pi-Sunyer described the artifacts he discovered as being few in number and non-diagnostic for the exact function of the building.

Kelso verified Pi-Sunyer's identification of the archaeologically uncovered building foundation on the west end of Mulberry Row as the Joinery (Building C) recorded by Jefferson on the 1796 Mutual Assurance Plat. Since little of the Joinery itself was left undisturbed after the Pi-Sunyer excavations, Kelso focused the majority of his work on tracing the garden fence line to the south of the Joinery and on adjoining landscape features (Kelso 1982 and Kelso 1997). Excavations on the slope between the garden and Joinery foundation revealed some rubble and artifacts associated with the Joinery. Post-excavation analysis of the Joinery proper was minimal and consisted primarily of artifact finds lists.
During the 1994 summer field season, Kern conducted excavations to the north of the Joinery foundation to locate planting holes for the trees that lined Mulberry Row during Jefferson's time. Excavations revealed several possible postholes and other unidentified features.
Martha Hill compiled a thorough review of architectural studies, archaeological excavations, documentary sources, and Thomas Jefferson Foundation research that pertained to Mulberry Row and other mountaintop outbuildings (Hill 2003). This report included summaries of historical documentation and archaeological work pertaining to the Joinery structure. Hill hypothesized that Building c may have been constructed as early as 1775 and abandoned after 1830. Furthermore, she stated that "the Joinery was probably one of the first buildings constructed by Jefferson. Some shelter for the fine work of making doors, sashes, and balusters for Monticello I would have been necessary" (Hill 2002b).
Recent funding enabled the Monticello Department of Archaeology, as part of the Mulberry Row Reassessment Project, to re-analyze contexts and assemblages from Kelso's excavations using DAACS protocols. Reanalysis of the collections and contexts from the 1980s provides an opportunity to investigate the Joinery site beyond the limits of Pi-Sunyer's strictly architectural analysis.
Reanalysis of archaeological evidence, conducted in 2008, has provided few additional insights. Analytical problems stem from a lack of excavated features in this area as well as low artifact density within those features. The small section of builder's trench (F10) excavated by Kelso yielded no ceramics, only three wrought nails, and one machine-cut nail. Most of what we know about the Joinery continues to come from historical records and Pi-Sunyer's architectural investigation. Reanalysis demonstrates that even less is known about this area than previously thought and therefore future excavations and sampling of the Joinery site are needed.

Things you need to know about Building c (Joiner's Shop) before you use the data:
The entire site was carefully hand-troweled and screens were not used for artifact recovery.
Measurements are in feet and tenths of feet.
Building c was excavated in quadrats of different sizes over different periods of time. Quadrat size ranged from 4-by-5 feet to 5-by-10 feet. Quadrat 105 is irregularly shaped and is 12.5-by-7.5 feet at its widest points. Quadrat 291 began as a 10-by-10 foot block that partially overlapped Quadrat 108 from the previous year, and then was divided into two 5-by-10 foot units, neither of which were excavated completely.
F10, the builder's trench along the Joinery's western wall, was neither fully exposed nor completely excavated.
Modern intrusions of this site include part of a road bed (Contexts 1835A, 1836A, and 1837A) and several root disturbances.
The approximate size and shape of the Joinery foundation and the standing chimney base, as mapped by Pi-Sunyer in 1957, are recorded on the site map.
In the DAACS database, the Joinery project is designated as Project "109". Artifact ID numbers for artifacts associated with the project therefore begin with the 109 prefix.
DAACS staff assigned feature numbers using the original excavation records. Feature numbers assigned by DAACS have an F-prefix, which precedes the number (i.e. F01 equals Feature 1).
Feature groups are sets of features whose spatial arrangements indicate they were part of a single structure (e.g. structural postholes, subfloor pits, and hearth) or landscape element (e.g. postholes that comprise a fence line). Feature Groups assigned by DAACS have an FG-prefix, which precedes the number (i.e. FG01 equals Feature Group 1). Only two feature groups were assigned for this project; one for the first period fence line (FG01) and one for the later fence line (FG02).
FG01: East-West Fence Posts Adjacent to Southern Joinery Wall with Stone Shims. Likely earliest fence line.
F03 Posthole 105D, 105E
F12 Posthole 109B, 109C
F13 Posthole 117A, 117B
F24 Posthole 128C, 128D
FG02: East-West Fence Posts Extending East from the Southern Joinery Wall
F21 Posthole 119D

F02 Posthole 1836D, 1836F
F04 Unidentified 1836G, 1836J
F05 Posthole, possible 1836H

DAACS staff aim to produce a seriation-based chronology for each archaeological site using the same methods (see Neiman, Galle, and Wheeler 2003for technical details). Only feature assemblages with more than five ceramic sherds are included in these ceramic-based seriations. Due to the small quantity of artifacts recovered from features in this area, DAACS was unable to produce a seriation-based chronology for the Joinery. However, site-wide Mean Ceramic Dates and TPQ's were generated for the Joinery, as described below.
Building c (Joiner's Shop) Site Phases
Mean ceramic dates for the Joinery site are given in the table below. The site-wide Mean Ceramic Date of 1806 correlates with documentary evidence that the Joinery was occupied between c. 1776 and c. 1826. This table also includes two estimates of the TPQ for the site. The first TPQ estimate is the usual one – the maximum beginning manufacturing date among all the MCD-types in the assemblage. The second estimate — TPQp90 — is the 90th percentile of the beginning manufacturing dates among all the sherds in the assemblage, based on their MCD-types. This TPQ estimate is more robust against excavation errors and taphonomic processes that might have introduces a few anomalously late sherds in an assemblage.

Building c (Joinery) Harris Matrix
Stratigraphic groups, which represent multiple contexts, are identified on the diagram by their numeric designations (e.g. SG10) followed by the descriptions of them (e.g. "occupation zone"). Contexts that could not be assigned to stratigraphic groups are identified by their individual context numbers (e.g. 622A) or feature numbers (e.g. F10). Note that while stratigraphic groups are present on the Harris Matrix, these designations are not used on the Chronology Page and Phase analysis.

Building C Sites


A couple—small business owners with two young sons—purchased a lovely south-facing lot within walking distance to the center of Brunswick with the intention of building an energy-efficient four-bedroom home. Wanting to team up with a contractor and architect from the onset of the project, the owners began working with Senecal Construction Services and David Matero Architecture.
The family envisioned a light-filled, open plan for the first floor. Other important items on their checklist included a first-floor master bedroom suite, generous mudroom/laundry, a basement guest room/game room, and an in-ground pool. To meet the owner's requirements, the architects oriented the main façade to the south for maximum solar gain but with exterior shades to block the summer sun. The living room and kitchen feature light-filled cathedral ceilings with large windows and dormers to bring in light from above. A second-floor loft reserved for the parents is set above the dining room to create a more intimate setting below than in the living room and kitchen, which feature high ceilings.
The two boys have their own loft outside their bedrooms, which include small bathrooms, as well as a shared laundry room. Oriented to capture some morning light, the first-floor master bedroom is set toward the north for privacy. The in-ground pool, the center of outdoor play, is nestled into a corner of the house oriented toward summer afternoon sun and is visible from several vantage points within the house. The screened porch with outdoor fireplace completes the indoor/outdoor space, giving the family many options for enjoying their home and property. The design reflects the family's intention to enjoy both friends and family in a home that offers both social and private spaces.

Moab liquor store closed after van crashes into storefront
By: David Wells
MOAB, Utah — The State Liquor Store in Moab will close for a few days after a van crashed into the storefront.
According to a spokesman for the Utah Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control, the crash happened Monday around 11:35 a.m.
"The driver said he must have forgotten to put the vehicle in park. No one was hurt, including the driver and store employees," a statement from DABC said.
The store will continue to fill orders for licensees, restaurants and bars in the area.
Officials with the Utah Division of Facilities Construction and Management and a consulting engineer have inspected the building and determined the building is structurally sound and repairs should proceed. The store is expected to reopen by Friday morning, possibly Thursday afternoon.
In the meantime, the nearest available liquor stores are in Green River, about 52 miles from Moab, and in Monticello, about 54 miles from Moab.
"These are smaller, privately contracted stores under the auspices of DABC and following the liquor laws of Utah," a statement from DABC said.
The nearest Utah State Liquor Store is in Price, about 115 miles from Moab.
It does not appear the van driver was under the influence, the DABC spokesman said.


Unpack the replacement DIMM and place it on an antistatic mat.
Ensure that the replacement DIMM matches the size, type, and rank of the DIMM it is replacing.
You must not replace a quad-rank DIMM with a dual-rank DIMM and vice versa. If you violate this rule, the performance of the server might be adversely affected. For DIMM slot population rules, see DIMM Population Rules.
Ensure that the ejector tabs are in the open position.
Align the notch in the replacement DIMM with the connector key in the connector slot.
The notch ensures that the DIMM is oriented correctly.
Push the DIMM into the connector slot until the ejector tabs lock the DIMM in place.
If the DIMM does not easily seat into the connector slot, verify that the notch in the DIMM is aligned with the connector key in the connector slot. If the notch is not aligned, damage to the DIMM might occur.
Repeat Step 3 until all replacement DIMMs are installed.
(Optional) Use Oracle ILOM to clear server DIMM faults.
DIMM faults are automatically cleared after a new DIMM is installed. If you need to manually clear DIMM faults, refer to the Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) 4.0 Documentation Library at http://www.oracle.com/goto/ilom/docs.
Note - If you want to move a faulty DIMM to a new DIMM slot or re-seat a DIMM for troubleshooting, you must first manually clear the associated DIMM fault. Otherwise, the DIMM fault might follow the DIMM to the new slot location or reoccur on the current slot location, causing a false DIMM fault condition.

'Sex Dungeon' Shakedown Charges Revived in New Jersey
February 26, 2019 February 28, 2019 NICK RUMMELL
bribery, eldStories, Extortion, modeling, New Jersey, NYC, rape, sex
TRENTON, N.J. (CN) – A New Jersey appeals court revived extortion charges Tuesday against a man said to have tried to blackmail a money manager over allegations that he drugged, raped, and beat Playboy models.
Prosecutors say Robert Aloi threatened to go public with the allegations in late 2017 unless Howard Rubin, a former trader at Bear Stearns and investment adviser to George Soros, paid him about $10 million.
Rubin was once infamous for his connection to major losses at Merrill Lynch during the late 1980s. The married father of three took another hit to his reputation in November 2017 when two anonymous Playboy models brought a $27 million lawsuit in Brooklyn that accused Rubin of luring women to the penthouse apartment that he operated as a "sex dungeon."
Over a month before that suit was filed, however, Aloi was arrested across the river in New Jersey. Prosecutors there said Aloi had told Rubin's lawyer, whose office is located in Edison, New Jersey, that he would keep quiet about the sex dungeon in exchange for nearly $10 million.
Aloi, whose residence is in Maryland, managed to secure dismissal of the case on the basis of jurisdiction, but a three-judge appeals panel revived the charges Tuesday.
"Although the evidence showed the threats originated from [Aloi] while he was in Maryland, it was the attorney's receipt of the threats in New Jersey through which [Aloi] completed the alleged attempt to extort [Rubin's] property," Judge Francis Vernoia wrote for the court.
Aloi's attorney Eric Mark expressed disappointment in the ruling, saying the court "reached the wrong conclusion."
"If this does go to trial there will be a lot of information about the attorney involved," Mark said, referring apparently to Rubin's attorney, Yifat Schnur.
"It's not as clear cut as the facts presented to the grand jury make it seem," Mark added.
Schnur was initially named as a defendant to the Brooklyn case, with the Playboy models saying she intimidated them and played a central part in Aloi's conduct.
Prosecutors say Aloi first attempted to reach Rubin by contacting a New York charitable organization where he was on the board.
Schnur meanwhile recorded Aloi asking for a $9.95 million payment to his "No Fear Against Abuse" charity. Prosecutors say Schnur claimed he would receive only vehicles and office space while the rest of the cash would go to Rubin's alleged victims.
Aloi allegedly dropped his asking price to $3.7 million but never followed through on a meet-up with Schnur that he had planned, after which he was arrested.
Rubin's accusers implicate a number of the money manager's associates in a cover-up, saying one offered the models free airline tickets and thousands of dollars to stay quiet.
One of the women in the suit claims Rubin beat her so badly her breast implant was damaged, while another alleges he threatened to "rape you like I rape my daughter."
Apart from the federal case in Brooklyn, Rubin faces a second lawsuit in Manhattan Supreme Court by a young woman who says she too was raped.
This woman says Rubin made her sign a nondisclosure agreement and threatened to sue her for $1 million if she ever spoke about anything that occurred in Rubin's penthouse. Before the other allegations against Rubin encouraged her to come forward, the woman says she tried to commit suicide in 2016.
