Yohe: On the Penguins' late collapse, Kasperi Kapanen's eruption, and missing Sidney Crosby
By Josh Yohe Nov 7, 2021 56
The Penguins have dealt with so much adversity in recent weeks — injuries to their best players, eight positive COVID-19 tests in the past month, and now their head coach is out with the virus — that, at this point, one would think they'd be pretty numb to anything else of the negative variety that might transpire.
Then, they allowed a game-tying goal with less than three seconds remaining in regulation.
And couldn't convert on two breakaways in overtime. And blew not one but two leads in the shootout before ultimately falling to the Minnesota Wild, 5-4, on Saturday at PPG Paints Arena.
Kasperi Kapanen produced his first career hat trick after being held without a goal in the season's first nine games. He summed up the evening reasonably well.
"Obviously, it feels good (to get a hat trick)," he said. "But, yeah. You can't really deny the way the game ended. It doesn't feel as good as I wish it did. You can't lose a game like that."
Minnesota, in fact, scored twice with the goaltender pulled. Jared Spurgeon scored with 3:19 remaining in the third period. Then came the real theatrics, as the Penguins missed the empty net on a couple of occasions, lost faceoff after faceoff, were guilty of a couple of careless icing calls and ultimately lost track of Ryan Hartman in the final moments of the third period.

U.S. Senators John McCain and Al Franken "Debate" Issue of National Importance: NFL Football
Miriam Wasser
Miriam Wasser | December 11, 2015 | 9:48am
CBS News anchor Bob Schieffer moderated a satirical debate between Arizona Senator John McCain and Minnesota Senator Al Franken before the Arizona Cardinals and Minnesota Vikings faced off at University of Phoenix stadium in Glendale Thursday night.
And it was funny.
Imitating the format of a political debate, Scheiffer began the "Face the (Football) Nation" segment by asking the two to "briefly, sell the American people on" their respective teams.
"Bob, it's simple, when the going gets tough, Americans don't fold," McCain began. "When the Arizona Cardinals have an injury, it's next man up. I'm proud of my football team, I'm proud to be an American."

But before McCain could go further, Franken, the Saturday Night Live comedian-turned-politician, interrupted:
"You know, we've heard this kind of rhetoric before from my (pause) very (pause) close (pause) friend. But where has it gotten Arizona fans? To one Super Bowl, which they lost."
"Game on!" both men seemed to say with their eyes.
"I'll tell you one thing, my esteemed colleague, you're not going to get there this year. Look at the embarrassing loss you just suffered at the hands of the Seahawks."
"Well we had a lot of guys hurt," Franken responded quietly.
"Gentlemen, let's not turn this into a sports talk radio show," Scheiffer suggested.
"Well, it's too late," Franken replied. "Okay, he is my friend but he's a loser."
"Maybe if you would understand the virtues of being a Republican instead of a liberal-communist-socialist," McCain shot back. "You're just mad because the Cardinals defense is a wall, and you can't penetrate it."
With that, McCain set up Franken for what was arguably the highlight of the interaction.
We'll not to spoil the rest of the sketch and let you watch it for yourself, but there is one more thing well worth noting:
The Cardinals beat the Vikings 23-20 to secure a spot in the playoffs.
Sorry, not sorry, Minnesota.

Oil Spill Following Ship Collision at Temasek Fairway
Published Nov 19, 2012 10:39 AM by The Maritime Executive
Efforts to contain and clean up the oil spill following the collision between Hong Kong-registered bulk carrier "Sunny Horizon" and Korean-registered Liquefied Petroleum Gas carrier "DL Salvia" continued today.
There has been no further spillage of bunker from "DL Salvia". As a precautionary measure, an oil boom has been deployed around the vessel. Bio-degradable oil dispersants were used yesterday and today to break up the oil slick in the waters. In total, 9 craft and more than 46 personnel have been deployed as part of the containment and clean up efforts.
Some patches of treated oil were sighted today at the reclamation sites at the western part of Jurong Island and Tuas View Extension, and at a rock bund at Sultan Shoal. MPA is working with JTC Corporation and the National Environment Agency on the land-based clean up efforts.
Vessel traffic in the Port of Singapore and port operations remain unaffected.

Members of the public can contact MPA's 24-hours Marine Safety Control Centre at 6325 2489 to report any sighting of oil slick in waters or coastlines.
At about 1400hrs on 9 September (Singapore time), the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) received a report that a Hong Kong-registered bulk carrier "Sunny Horizon", collided with a Korean-registered Liquefied Petroleum Gas carrier "DL Salvia" at the Temasek Fairway, about 700 metres east of Sultan Shoal. The bunker tank on "DL Salvia" was breached and less than 60 metric tonnes of bunker was spilled. The area of spill is concentrated within Temasek Fairway.
Upon notification, MPA immediately dispatched its patrol craft to deal with the oil spill. Oil spill response companies were also activated to augment the patrol craft. A total of seven patrol and anti-pollution craft have been deployed to clean up the spilled oil.Work is currently continuing and MPA is co-ordinating the clean up with other government agencies and the ship owners.
The two vessels involved in the collision are currently safely anchored in the West Jurong anchorage. MPA has issued navigational broadcasts to ships to navigate with caution when in the vicinity of the incident site. There is no report of injury and port operations remain unaffected.
MPA is investigating the cause of the collision.

Raptors training facility renamed OVO Athletic Centre in honour of Drake
Drake's OVO & the Toronto Raptors just launched their biggest collab yet.
TORONTO — Drake now has the run of the Toronto Raptors' practice facility.
Raptors president Masai Ujiri flew to Manchester, England last week both because he'd never seen a Drake concert in person, and to present the Grammy award-winning artist with a key to the training facility in celebration of its new naming rights.
The Raptors have renamed the facility as the OVO Athletic Centre, part of the team's continuing partnership with the Toronto-born rapper since they named him their "global ambassador" nearly six years ago.
"It's very unique," Ujiri said of the partnership, which was an obvious choice given Drake's connection to Toronto and basketball fans.
"Drake and OVO are an important part of our city's landscape, our team's identity, and our plans to bring a championship to Toronto," he said. "With each step of our partnership over the last five and a half years, we have worked together to build a winning basketball program in Toronto and deliver for our fans and our community.
"This new naming rights deal for our training facility is a perfect example of the strength of this partnership and the innovative opportunities it can generate."
The facility, located on the grounds of Exhibition Place and which opened in conjunction with NBA all-star weekend in Toronto in February of 2016, was originally known as the BioSteel Centre before being renamed the Toronto Raptors Training Centre.
OVO, an acronym for "October's Very Own," is the name of a record label and clothing line co-founded by Drake.
The rebranding of the facility includes OVO Athletic Centre signage — with its recognizable owl logo — inside and outside the facility, and Raptors practice jerseys will feature the owl logo on the upper left chest.
Drake wrote about the announcement on social media: "I am so proud of my brothers and so proud to be from this city I swear this one feels like a high school dream and it's a blessing to be able to raise up the levels and make the human mind stretch when it comes to thinking about what is possible in your lifetime!! Much love to everyone involved."
Drake has been involved in planning for the 2016 All-Star Weekend at Scotiabank Arena (then Air Canada Centre), the launch of the "We The North" campaign and the design of an OVO-inspired alternate uniform.
He has a locker in the Raptors locker room, with a nametag that reads "The Boy." He also has courtside seats, and frequents games when he's not touring.

Chingola Mayor Titus Tembo has expressed disappointment with the erratic water supply that has affected most parts of Chingola District for over five days now.
Tembo, whose council is a shareholder in Mulonga Water and Sewerage blew up after angry residents stormed his office seeking a solution.
However, Mulonga Water and Sewerage Company has disclosed that the erratic water supply being experienced is expected to continue until remedial measures are put in place.
Public Relations Officer Bright Mtonga said the Company has a challenge with raw water to run the water treatment plant which supply half of the District.
�The company is working in collaboration with other stakeholders to ensure the situation normalises by the end of September, 2018. Affected areas will experience erratic water supply during this period and a water bowser will be going round to mitigate the effects of the interruptions in all affected areas,� Mtonga said.
Mtonga has named the affected areas as Nchanga North and South, Chiwempala, Mulenga Police, part of Kabundi South, Chikola and Mupaka Drive.
Mulonga Water and Sewerage Company has been struggling to meet the supply demands of the most sought after commodity.

Nonsense by Sally

Movie Mayhem: June
Still a month behind with this blog feature, but since up until this past weekend I had only watched 2 (TWO!!) movies in July, that reality is not as overwhelming as it could be. 🙂 Let's see…
Quicksand (John Mackenzie-USA-2002) was a rather bad thriller which pretty much only proved once again that I can't stand Michael Keaton, and that even Michael Caine can't do much with a mediocre script. Star Trek (J.J. Abrams-USA-2009) was just as good the…er…9th time (?) as it was the first. The Chronicles of Riddick (David Twohy-USA-2004) was somewhat more ho-hum than I had expected (and I hadn't expected much…).
The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo (Niels Arden Oplev-Swedish-2009) was the first really good movie I saw in June. An incredibly well made thriller, with a mystery that kept me guessing the entire time (no, I haven't read the book…), and an astonishingly good performance from Noomi Rapace. Dealing with subject matters that gave me the chills, but always coming from a direction that I hadn't expected, this movie left me shaken but totally stoked. The performances, delivery, pacing, use of color and angle, music – everything came together to present great, if uncomfortable, movie making. The Swedish title of this movie is "Men Who Hate Women" and that hints pretty powerfully at some of the more gruesome aspects of the story – if you can take it, then I highly recommend this.
I saw Pirate Radio (Richard Curtis-UK-2009) when it came out last December with some friends. We were three of only five people in the theater, so we were not shy about letting loose some belly laughs! Based on the true story of a ship that floated of the coast of England in international waters so that they could broadcast rock music in the 60s, it boasts a cast of brilliant actors, and of course a great soundtrack. Easily one of my favorite rolls for Philip Seymour Hoffman, as the American DJ dubbed "The Count". It's a good times movie – nothing too serious, even a little silly, but the perfect mix of wicked and witty.
Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans (Werner Herzog-USA-2009) has got to be one of the odder films I've seen all year. I haven't seen the 1992 Bad Lieutenant so I have no point of reference in that regard. Taken completely on its own, this story is about a corrupt cop, or at least a cop with his own set of twisted rules, who is slowly spinning out of control. Nicholas Cage is at his best when he is a touch nuts, and this could be my favorite example of that. Herzog has his own brand of crazy, and it works to great effect here. Another rather uncomfortable movie, but creative storytelling and a memorably whacked character make for an interesting experience.
Everyone should see No One Knows About Persian Cats (Bahman Ghobadi-Iran-2009). It's an amazingly sad/hopefully look at the underground musical culture in Iran. Following a few 20-somethings for a month or two as they write and record and practice and perform their music, all the time in secret, all the time risking arrest or worse, this movie is a collection of story bits and music videos – fiction based on real life, interspersed with musical performances and footage of Tehran. I loved the music so much that I bought the soundtrack almost immediately. The story itself is heartbreaking, shocking, frustrating, but somehow still hopeful. I highly recommend this one.
I've been searching for The Killer (John Woo-Hong Kong-1989) for almost 5 years – ever since I met my boyfriend, who had fond memories of its awesomeness. It's been out of print in the US for a long time. Recently Dragon Dynasty released a cut of it, but to all reports it was inferior quality and even missing sections. I finally broke down and bought a rather expensive used copy of the Criterion edition as a birthday present for my boyfriend, and thus finally got to watch it. It was…pretty good. I always like Chow Yun Fat, and this case was no different. He plays the skilled assassin with a moral code and a soft heart perfectly. The story was nonstop action, with a final showdown that pinned me to my seat. But overall, it wasn't nearly as awesome as I had built it up to be. Definitely a worthwhile flic, but I am sorry to say that I was slightly underwhelmed by it… Oh well! 🙂
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (Mike Newell-USA-2010) was tons of fun. Something about mellow Jake Gyllenhaal going all kick-ass totally worked for me. I snicker as I say that, and recall him half naked in the desert battling off…whatever was attacking him at the time…mmm. Anyway, it was also funny to see Gemma Arterton again, so soon after playing a similar (but less snarky) role in the recent Clash of the Titans. I really like her, but I hope she returns soon to the type of roles she played in things like St. Trinian's and (even though it was hardly more than a scene) RocknRolla. Incidentally, RocknRolla's actual rock 'n roller Toby Kebbell is also in The Prince of Persia as one of Dastan's (Gyllenhaal) brothers. And his other brother is played by Richard Coyle, who was one of my favorite characters on the British TV show Coupling. I could continue to play this game, but suffice it to say that this is a fun movie in quite a lot of ways!
The Book of Eli (Albert Hughes and Allen Hughes-USA-2010) is not a fun movie. In fact I disliked it intensely. Even though it was made before The Road, it seemed to have lifted the coloring and landscapes straight out of that movie. The post-apocalypse world it presented felt unoriginal, and the plot seemed totally unbelievable to me. Also unbelievable, but in the opposite sense of the word, was The Belles of St. Trinian's (Frank Launder-UK-1954). In it the wild trickster schoolgirls strike for the first time, and their degree of crazy cleverness (and also NOISE) surpassed the mischief and mayhem of the 2007 version of themselves by a long shot. Alastair Sim, playing both Miss Millicent Fritton and her brother Clarence was brilliant – even more brilliant than Rupert Everett in the same role, I must admit. Not sure my brain can stand another barage of English schoolgirls any time soon, but I'm pleased to know there is more where this came from!
With my viewing of The Shining (Stanley Kubrick-USA-1980) and Eyes Wide Shut (Stanley Kubrick-USA-1999) I have seen all of Kubrick's well known work, as well as some of his more obscure stuff. I watched these as a double feature, and wow, that was an experience! The Shining was SO freaky, and Eyes Wide Shut was SO bizzare. I liked them both, although compared to the excruciatingly nerve shredding spookiness of The Shining, Eyes Wide Shut was merely an interesting thriller. I'm terrified of Jack Nicholson on a regular basis, and he was amazingly scary in The Shining. What an atmosphere the genius of Stephen King and Stanley Kubrick created! The images rip out of the screen. I didn't even realize I was getting nervous until all of a sudden I noticed that I was crunched in my seat, wide eyed and barely breathing. Brilliant writing and movie making. Eyes Wide Shut had a lot going for it too, but I never really got into it. Maybe my emotional detachment was merely a coping mechanism after the intensity of The Shining. I may have to come back to that one some day.
And finally, the last movie I saw in June was Beverly Hills Cop III (John Landis-USA-1994), which is always a goofy time. You really can't surpass that catchy theme music, or the winning smile of Eddy Murphy – although in all three of these movies it is the adorable Judge Reinhold that I root for.
Not a bad month overall, with some really great stuff in the mix. Sorry I failed to actually describe the plots of most of these movies! IMDb is a click away, as always, for the curious ones. Thanks for letting me indulge myself once again with these little notes, and seriously – watch No One Knows About Persian Cats if you can! 🙂

« Reading in July
A Personal Matter »
Aww, Persian Cats was just playing at the theater down the street, but I missed it! Guess I'll have to wait until it's out on video, but definitely sounds like it's worth a look.
I feel like I'm one of the only people I know who didn't like the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo movie – just felt like it was too long for the level of complexity, the rape-revenge plotline rubbed me the wrong way (not that I can't relate, but it felt too emotionally simplistic to me) and the Nazism element felt tacked-on. But it probably didn't help that when we saw it we were sitting next to two middle-aged drunk ladies who kept stage-whispering stuff like "NOW SHE'S REALLY GOING TO SHOW HIM!" and "OH WAIT, THIS IS PART COMING BACK TO ME – WATCH HER NECKLACE." Thank you, dudes! That is so helpful of you. 😛
By: Emily on July 26, 2010
Wow, what an unfortunate viewing experience! I can definitely agree with the things you disliked about it – I had a few problems myself, although I liked it overall. I can't decide if I want to read the book… Have you read it?
By: tuulenhaiven on July 28, 2010
I haven't, but I've heard it's (predictably, since you hear this about every story) better than the movie. Also have heard that the seeming randomness of the rape plot ties into the second & third parts of the story, so maybe I shouldn't write them off yet. 🙂
My, Jake Gylenhaal! He was perfect for the role. We enjoyed it too. My husband's played the first three Prince of Persia games and the children and I were always present cheering him on, so it was a treat seeing the movie.
I enjoyed watching The Book of Eli, but it also bothered me, like you, because of the similarities to The Road. We haven't seen The Road movie but I was harassing my husband to, haha, and then we see this and I keep blabbing how the world feels ripped off from the book. (Although I imagine The Road more atmospheric and The Book of Eli more Water World-ly.)
By the way, I forget if you've reviewed The Legion or not, but if you haven't seen it, please don't. It's awful. Waste of money and time.
By: kiss a cloud on July 27, 2010
I meant Legion, not The Legion.
I haven't seen Legion – I believe that it looked too scary for me! 🙂 A friend of mine heard me complaining about the similarity in coloring between The Book of Eli and The Road, and said that he was pretty sure production companies have a stock "post-apocalypse color scheme". Seems plausible! 🙂 I'll be curious to see what you think of the movie The Road, if you ever watch it.
It looks like No One Knows About Persian Cats isn't available on DVD yet, but I've put it on my Netflix Saved list – sounds really great.
I really liked The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo as well, but, yes, it is a bit brutal – as is the book. The next two movies in the series are (again, like the books) part of the same story-arch, so when/if you see film #2, you may feel a little cheated until film #3 comes along and wraps the story up. Just a heads-up since I've talked to people who are a little unhappy with film #2.
By: Eva on July 27, 2010
I read somewhere that the next two films aren't done by the same director, which is disappointing. I can't decide if I want to read the books. Might just stick to the movies, but I feel a certain sense of guilt over that…! 🙂
You're right, the other two are directed by Daniel Alfredson (brother of Tomas Alfredson who directed Let The Right One In). And, yes, the style and pacing is quite different.
I've mostly given up on the whole I-Must-Read-The-Book idea since there are SOOO many books I want to read that I'm almost relieved when someone makes a movie out of one of them…. 🙂
I just found out that David Fincher is making his own version of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, staring Daniel Craig as Mikael Blomkvist – other actors still to be decided. Shockingly, I still haven't seen any of his movies beside Benjamin Button. Fight Club, Se7en, and Zodiac among others are still floating around on my TBW list…! To all reports though, he seems like a fine director to tackle the weirdness of this story. Even though my initial rection was one of "there's already a perfectly decent movie based on this book, so WHY?" I realize that, for example, there are about 15 movie versions of Oliver Twist! So I guess it's okay. 🙂
I had no idea Richard Coyle was in Prince of Persia! I'm a HUGE Coupling fan, and now must see this movie immediately. Hahaha….the giggle loop! *sigh* But right this moment, now must go watch Coupling:)
By: Jessica on September 3, 2010
Bwahahaha….! I had totally forgotten the giggle loop! Gosh, now I have to go watch Coupling again. I really need to own it – it's one of those TV shows that I could actually watch again and again. 🙂

A top pro-independence leader in Indian-administered Kashmir has been booked under the controversial Public Safety Act (PSA) which could see him imprisoned for up to two years without a trial.
Yasin Malik, chief of the Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF), was sent to Kot Balwal jail in Jammu city from a police station where he had been kept since his arrest on February 22 together with 160 other people.
The arrest came amid a wider assault in Jammu and Kashmir by Indian authorities after its government banned religio-socio-political organisation Jamaat-e-Islami and detained more than 300 of its members.
Tension in the region has been running high since a suicide bombing in Pulwama in Indian-administered Kashmir last month killed at least 40 Indian troops.
The attack, the deadliest in 30 years of the Kashmir conflict and claimed by Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Muhammad (JeM), escalated into a massive standoff between the two South Asian nuclear powers.
"This government has reached the extreme level of suppression. They are detaining everyone who raises his voice," a senior JKLF official told Al Jazeera.
The situation calmed down after days of rising tension between Pakistan and India as well as exchanges of fire across the Line of Control. But violence and deaths have continued in Kashmir, the Himalayan territory claimed in full by the two nuclear-armed rivals.
Joint Resistance Leadership, a group of separatist leaders in the region, has called for a complete shutdown on Friday to protest the "arbitrary arrest".
"This spree of arrests, the ban on Jamaat-e-Islami and the attempts to tinker with hereditary state subject law deserves our stiff protest and resistance," a statement released by the group said.
Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, who heads a faction of the pro-Pakistani Hurriyat Conference, condemned Malik's arrest.
"Strongly condemn slapping of draconian PSA and shifting to #KotBalwalJail Jammu of Yasin Malik and others by the authorities," tweeted Farooq.
Last year, a report by the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights questioned the arbitrary use of PSA by India and said that more than 1,000 Kashmiris were detained using this act between March 2016 and August 2017.
"They have been victims of torture, threats, extortion, arrests, and killings," said Ganguly.

Donated Toys Stolen From Non-Profit's Van in Oakland
An Oakland non-profit looking to spread holiday cheer is now in need of some help of its own after hundreds of dollars worth of gifts they were preparing for local children were stolen.
"They just tore up the car and got everything which is really sad," said Deltrina Johnson.
A van filled with holiday presents for children in need is empty after it was ransacked in the Lakeshore neighborhood this week.
"It brought me to tears," said Johnson.
The thief broke the lock to her van, stealing every toy inside. It happened just hours after Johnson had filled it with dozens of gifts.
"I would think anybody who would go in and say 'let me think about this, may this isn't the car to rob' but to see people I don't want to say necessarily heartless but in such a state it made me really sad," she said.
Johnson is the executive director at Oak Center Cultural Center. She preps the annual giveaway which normally helps around 300 families each year.
Families that line up around the block to ensure something under the tree for their children.
"I grew up in New Orleans and my mother had seven kids, and we were in that line, someone gave to us and that's why I do this," said Johnson. "I remember as a child standing in line to get a little bag of goodies."
Since the break-in, donations have been coming in, including from strangers like Mike who took a trunk full of toys that can help 40 more kids.
"They will steal anything now I guess," said Mike. "It's sad because I like kids. I don't have any kids myself, I like to try to give back each year."
But a week away from the big giveaway, Johnson still needs enough toys to help another 200 kids. A christmas wish she hopes the community will help her grant
"I'm just elated knowing that the response is going out," said Johnson.
Anyone willing to help is asked to donate to the center directly.


These selections are popular favorites of many organists though several are available only as separate editions. Diane Bish has edited these favorites and put them together in one fine collection, with new engravings, written-out trills for easier playing, and settings of medium difficulty.

Slavery, When Did It Really End?
Leon Puissegur December 17, 2016
We have heard the range of ideas as to when Slavery really ended. Some say it ended with the Emancipation Proclamation, some say in 1860, some say in 1863, but few say in 1865, after Abraham Lincoln died. To many, this will come as a surprise, since many believe, and wrongly so, that Slavery ended with the Emancipation Proclamation. To those who have the very wrong idea that Lincoln freed the slaves with the Emancipation Proclamation, allow us to show you why this is extremely wrong and no documentation can be shown that proves it to be right. Now that we have your attention, let us show you why the Emancipation Proclamation did not free a single slave and was used just for Military purposes, having no basis in either law or the Constitution.
The Emancipation Proclamation was written on January 1, 1863. This is when, according to many people with the wrong idea, that slaves were freed. That is perhaps the largest Myth ever to be allowed to grow without many knowing the truth behind the facts. To begin, the Southern States on that date had their own Constitution, which some in the North said was better than the original Constitution, but it shows the South had its own government at that date and the North had no rule of law over them.
The Emancipation Proclamation had no effect at all on the slaves held in the North and certain areas where the North held parts of the South.
Emancipation Proclamation:
Whereas on the 22 day of September, a.d. 1862, a proclamation was issued by the President of the United States, containing, among other things, the following, to wit:
"That on the 1st day of January, a.d., 1863, all persons held as slaves within any State or designated part of a State the people whereof shall then be in rebellion against the United States shall be then, thenceforward, and forever free; and the executive government of the United States, including the military and naval authority thereof, will recognize and maintain the freedom of such persons and will do not act or acts to repress such persons, or any of them, in any efforts they may make for their actual freedom.
"That the executive will on the 1st day of January aforesaid, by proclamation, designate the States and parts of States, if any, in which the people thereof, respectively, shall then be in rebellion against the United States, and the fact that any State or the people thereof shall on that day be in good faith represented in the Congress of the United States by members chosen thereto at elections wherein the majority of the qualified voters of such States shall have participated shall, in the absence of strong countervailing testimony, be deemed conclusive evidence that such State and the people thereof are not in rebellion against the United States."
"Now, therefore, I, Abraham Lincoln President of the United States, by virtue of the power in me vested as Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States in time of actual armed rebellion against the authority and government of the United States, and as a fit and necessary war measure for suppressing said rebellion, do, on this 1st day of January, a.d., 1863, and in accordance with my purpose so to do, publicly proclaimed for the full period of one hundred days from the first day above mentioned, order and designate as the States and parts of States wherein the people thereof, respectively, are this day in rebellion against the United States the following to wit:
Arkansas, Texas, Louisiana (except the parishes of St. Bernard, Plaquemines, Jefferson, St.John, St. Charles, St. James, Ascension, Assumption, Terrebonne, Lafourche, St.Mary, St. Martin, and Orleans, including the city of New Orleans0, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Virginia (except the forty-eight counties designated as West Virginia, and the counties of Berkeley, Accomac, Northhampton, Elizabeth City, York, Princess Anne, and Norfolk, including the cities of Norfolk and Portsmouth), and which excepted parts are for the present left precisely as if this proclamation were not issued.
And by the virtue of the power and for the purpose aforesaid, I do order and declare that all persons held as slaves within said designated States and parts of States are, and henceforward shall be, free: and that the Executive Government of the United States, including the military and naval authorities thereof, will recognize and maintain the freedom of said persons.
And I hereby enjoin upon the people so declared to be free to abstain from all violence, unless in necessary self-defense: and I recommend to them that, in all cases when allowed, they labor faithfully for reasonable wages.
And I further declare and make known that such persons of suitable condition will be received into the armed service of the United States to garrison forts, positions, stations, and other places, and to man vessels of all sorts in said service.
And upon this act, sincerely believed to be an act of justice, warranted by the Constitution upon military necessity, I invoke the considerate judgment of mankind and the gracious favor of Almighty God."
Take a look at the first part of this document, which shows by words that this was done just as a "War Measure." Read the precise language in the fourth paragraph, where it is clearly stated, "…as a fit and necessary war measure for suppressing said rebellion…" Given just this one part of the Proclamation, we can clearly see that this was done as a WAR MEASURE to suppress the rebellion.
We read on to all the States and parts of States that are included in this "Emancipation Proclamation." There, we clearly see the numerous Parishes of Louisiana excluded from the Proclamation, and the specified counties of West Virginia and other cities and counties that are also excluded from the Proclamation. Ever wonder why these Parishes and Counties were not included inn the "Emancipation Proclamation"? To show why they were not included is very easy: they were all under the control of the United States government at the time, and as such, the slaves in those places, like the slaves in the Northern States, were not freed. You did read that right; slaves were ONLY "freed" in States under the Government of the Confederacy.
Let us make that statement once more: only the States under the Government of the Confederacy were included in the "Emancipation Proclamation"! Those States and parts of States under the flag of the United States were not included in the military move to "free" the slaves. It was done just to try and get the blacks to say they were free in the South and that they would rise up against the Confederate States. The most damaging part of the "Emancipation Proclamation" is born out by the words, "…and which excepted parts are for the present left precisely as if this proclamation were not issued."
Read that one more time to fully understand that the Proclamation was not worth the paper it was written on. "…and which excepted parts are for the present left precisely as if this proclamation were not issued." Those parts not included in this Proclamation, all the States in the North and those, which were held by Northern troops. Yes, you read that right: all the Northern States were not included in this "Emancipation Proclamation" because it was done solely for a military action, nothing else. By now, some will still doubt this fact and say this document freed the slaves when it actually did nothing at all.
To present proof that the "Emancipation Proclamation" was written just for a military action and nothing else, not freeing a single slave anywhere. President Abraham Lincoln had the Supreme Court Justice Salmon P. Chase questioning his writing of the "Emancipation Proclamation," and in reply to Justice Chase, Abraham Lincoln stated in a letter dated September 2, 1863:
"Knowing your great anxiety that the emancipation proclamation shall now be applied to certain parts of Virginia and Louisiana which are exempted from it last January, I state briefly what appear to me to be difficulties in the way of such a step. The original proclamation has no constitutional or legal justification, except as a military measure."
Please read that as many times as you wish – it is true and accurate. It is real, it is a matter of fact, and this shows that the "Emancipation Proclamation" did not free a single slave and had no affect on anyone at all. That is a pure MYTH that slaves were freed by the "Emancipation Proclamation," that is a huge lie presented so many times that now many say it is true when it is not.
As amazing as it is, we have shown through documented sources that the "Emancipation Proclamation" was a well-written bag of Lies that had no real or honorable reality behind it. The document is out there, and many say Lincoln freed the slaves with this piece of paper – namely the "Emancipation Proclamation." That is a huge lie and myth that has no factual basis at all. If people would read the facts and the real meaning behind the "Emancipation Proclamation," they would find out that it was written, not to free slaves, but as a pure military application.
There is much more that could be written on this subject, but we decided to just show the words that disclose the facts and the false idea that Abraham Lincoln freed slaves. The 13th Amendment was finally passed by a Republican Congress in 1865, just months after Lincoln was Dead. Lincoln's Proclamation is wrongly said to have freed the slaves, making him great when the facts show very clearly that Abraham Lincoln did not free a single slave.

Facts con�cerning Gallagher and his local and regional importance will be given in a later chapter. Stephen dedicated a song to him.
The dedication of another song reveals an�other friend. He was Samuel P. Thompson,25 a young fellow who lived at Mrs. Griffin s board�ing house. We know that he was employed as a clerk and that he was a Presbyterian. Ste�phen showed his esteem by dedicating to him his musical setting of a song entitled "Summer Longings."27
A friend of Stephen in the local publishing field was William C. Peters, a publisher him�self and also a member of the firm of Peters & Field, music dealers and publishers. In addi�tion to business matters they had family memories as a bond, for Peters had been a friend of the Fosters when he lived at Pitts�burgh.28 He later declared that he was "one of the first to discover the extraordinary talent of Mr. Foster," and that he was "from first to last his firm friend and adviser/'25

Holidays are a time for rest and relaxation, but that's not to say you should neglect your appearance altogether. Yes, we're looking at you in the baggy board shorts and flip-flops. Instead, save yourself from looking questionably turned-out by planning what to pack for your sunny getaway in advance – we promise it's more straightforward than it seems.
The last thing you want to do is stress about whether or not you're wearing the right thing, so remember to keep it tight, light and stylish with a list of basic essentials guaranteed to keep you looking at sharp from the airport to the beach bar.
An absolute staple, the humble T-shirt should be the foundation of every man's suitcase – but don't overcomplicate things. Too often, Brits abroad can be tempted into opting for shouty graphics and dazzling colours, but there really is no need. Instead, keep it clean with a relaxed style and a round neck in shades like plain white, grey or navy. That said, you also can't go wrong with a simple stripy tee.
What else would you pair with a casual T-shirt? Simple an easy to wear, a set of shorts in an understated colour will allow you to be more playful with the rest of your outfit choices.
A word of warning here though: keep the hemline above the knee, and avoid anything with more than two side pockets.
A formal shirt is vital when you travel, as you never know where you might end up. For a failsafe option pick a classic cotton piece that's finished with a full button placket and pointed collar. Alternatively, short sleeved shirts have suddenly become acceptable – providing you opt for a fifties-style bowling cut. Here, the Cuban collar and relaxed fit mean you have the freedom to experiment with print without looking like a cruise ship entertainer.
While the temperatures might be soaring by day, evenings can often call for a little more coverage, so it might prove handy to pack a pair of trousers too. Round off the bottom half of your wardrobe nicely with a muted pair in black, grey or khaki that are designed with a flawless finish, and unlined so you won't overheat.
It's likely that the pool will become your second home when on holiday so you really need to nail things in the swimwear department. Whatever you do, forgo the knee-length Bermuda shorts in favour of a cropped pair and, unlike your day-to-day shorts, don't be afraid play around with colour.
This might sound obvious, but sunnies are an absolute essential when the sun comes out. If you want to play it safe, take your pick from Rayban's selection of Clubmaster or Wayfarer styles. But, if you want to go for something a little different, Oliver Peoples guarantee to make you stand out from the crowd.
Trainers are a wardrobe staple for good reason and this doesn't change when you're on holiday. Sturdier than a pair of sandals, a pair of classic white tennis shoes not only look great but will give your feet the support they need while you're off exploring.
