Thinking of visiting Mexico? You absolutely should – it's a beautiful, diverse country, with something for everybody. With all sorts of terrains, Latin and Indigenous cultures, and an incredible variety of food, there's so much to explore in the country, all which should be considered when planning a trip to Mexico.
Mexico is a country that suffers from some stereotypes – when the country comes up in conversation, people normally think of tacos, tequila, beach resorts and unfortunately, violence. But there's so much more to Mexico. Tacos and tequila are commonplace in Mexico – although they're nothing like they are in other countries – and while there are beach resorts, there are also mountains, beautiful cities and enthralling desert.
And the violence? Some areas of Mexico aren't safe – but it's a huge country, and many, many places are. Nearly all of the places you'll be visiting on your backpacking trip to Mexico are safe, as long as you follow basic precautions.
Despite these stereotypes, there is so much more to Mexico than meets the eye. Are you ready to plan the trip of a lifetime through this incredible country? This Mexico trip planner will help!
Whatever you love, there's something in this diverse nation for you. I like a mix of everything – I wouldn't turn any of these attractions down – and if you're the same, it's completely possible to tick a few of these off while planning a trip to Mexico. If you're doing a backpacker-style trip, you'll be able to travel around a few towns and regions, depending on how much time you have.
Trover is a fantastic app to plan a trip – to Mexico and anywhere in the world! It's like an Instagram just for travel photos, but you can do so much more with it. When planning a trip to Mexico, you can just type in the country's name into the search bar and see which photos scream 'take me here' (and there will be a few, trust me!).
Trover's usefulness doesn't end there. Each photo has loads of information about the place, including tips from people who have been there, and its exact location. You can then save it to a list as you begin planning your trip to Mexico!
You can also use the app once you're in Mexico by seeing what there is close to you. This ensures that you don't miss anything while you're in a town or city!
Trover is a fantastic community of travellers, and using the app you can spread your own travel ideas as well as use others. It's a great way to get the word out about that amazing taco stand, or a tour that people just have to go on.
In the interests of travelling sustainably, using Trover is a great way to spread the message and inspire other travellers to go for more responsible choices and see some destinations that might not have as much publicity otherwise. There are a lot of these in Mexico!
I'm going to (very roughly) break Mexico up into 6 areas here. These are: the North, Baja California, the central highlands, Mexico City and around, the South West (Oaxaca and Chiapas), and the South East (Cancun and the Caribbean coast). All of these areas have very different cultures, landscapes and reasons to visit.
The North is much more spread out than south Mexico, but it makes for a great off-the-beaten-path destination. Northern Mexico is generally more unsafe than Southern Mexico, so travellers here should make sure that they're clued up about any potential dangers. It's home to North America's second largest desert, some of the world's deepest canyons and a real 'Wild West' atmosphere.
One of the world's longest peninsulas, Baja California is well known for its beaches, but there's so much more here. Travellers to Baja enjoy canyons, nature, prehistoric art and unique culture. Baja California is not without its problems, but tourists rarely find themselves in danger here.
Relatively easy to get to from Mexico City, the Central Highlands are a beautiful part of Mexico. Even though they have friendly locals, beautiful scenery and a distinct vibe, the tourists haven't quite made it here yet. It's a charming part of the country, but one that is relatively un tourist trodden. It's a great place to do a homestay and live as the locals do.
Colossal, sprawling, vivacious – Mexico City is a one of a kind type of place. There is so much to do here, from cultural activities to food crawls. Mexico City is all you could want in a city and more – and it's a great spot to start to get to know this country.
I've been to Mexico City about ten times, some for extended periods (my dad lived there when I was a teenager), and I could easily visit another ten. Mexico City is safe, as long as you follow some basic precautions.
Largely comprised of Oaxaca and Chiapas state, the South West is Mexico's poorest region – in money, but it is easily its richest in culture and heritage. When visiting South Western Mexico, it's incredibly important to be mindful of people's situations, and to travel sustainably.
This could come in the form of eating at local restaurants and street food, purchasing from local sellers or taking part in ethical tours that educate about the Indigenous history of the area. That being said, this area of Mexico is largely safe – there are some cartels in Chiapas state, but they don't target tourists.
I live in Oaxaca City at the moment, and I absolutely love it here – it's a strong contender for my favourite city ever.
South East Mexico is where the majority of the country's tourism is focused. It's not completely unwarranted – the Caribbean coast is spectacular. However, be aware of a likely inflation in prices, lots of tourists, and – if you have already been elsewhere in Mexico – places where you might think 'meh, it was better on the other side'. Nonetheless, I would recommend a trip to the South East to check out the best Yucatan travel destinations – but maybe avoid Cancun.
If you have a month or less, I'd recommend just sticking to one or two of these regions. You could squeeze in more if you only want to see the highlights, but you'll be rushing and won't get a real feel for the country.
With 2-3 months, you could see Mexico City, the highlands and most of the south. An extra couple of months more, and you could experience some of Baja California and Northern Mexico. But of course, Mexico is a huge country, and you'd need years and years to see everything.
Most of Mexico is connected by public transport. The most luxurious is the ADO bus – to which the US Greyhound or UK Megabus pales in comparison. These buses have super comfy reclining seats, lots of leg room and they play Spanish films. On some, you even get a snack. For more remote or mountainous areas, you might have to take a shuttle or a colectivo (a shared taxi). But there is always a way to get somewhere.
You might need to pass through main cities to connect different states – for example, Guadalajara is a transit hub of the Central Highlands, and Oaxaca City is a good point of call for south western Mexico.
In some areas – mainly in the north – there have been instances of buses being held up and robbed. Using ADO buses significantly minimizes this risk. Getting around the south generally isn't an issue. There have been a few instances in Chiapas state, although the very polite hijackers actually allow everyone to disembark and take all of their belongings before robbing the bus!
Like I said, some of Mexico is kinda dangerous, some of it is pretty safe. Once you've decided on your destination of choice and have planned a backpacking route, it's a good idea to have read up on your chosen destination to work out if there is anything you need to do or avoid.
In most of Mexico, it's a good idea to not walk around alone late at night, and if you have valuables on you, to zip them away in an inside pocket of your bag. These are pretty much the only safety restrictions I impose on myself while living in Oaxaca, and I haven't experienced any danger here.
In Mexico City, hailing taxis on the street is not safe. Using Uber or calling a taxi from a trusted source are alternatives. People on the subway have also been victims of theft and harassment. There are some areas of Mexico City that aren't safe at all at night – but these aren't the tourist areas.
In other areas of Mexico, the drug war is very much ongoing, however, tourists are very very rarely involved, and it's unlikely you'll be going through these places anyway. Be savvy and if you do end up staying somewhere with a high homicide rate make sure you know exactly what to do and where to go to stay safe.
While many young Mexicans are able to speak English, you'll still need to know some Spanish to get around. And why wouldn't you – it's a beautiful language! If you're in Mexico for a long time, you could even go to Spanish school in Mexico.
If you're just on a shorter trip, try to learn some before you can go. There are lots of free helpful videos on YouTube, or you could use DuoLingo app. There are also more and more Spanish teachers offering remote teaching popping up, so you could have a few skype sessions before you go.
This post is a collaboration with Trover. As always, all opinions are my own. Enjoy planning!

Ah Mexico! The first place I ever travelled solo and the country that will be always be in my heart! What a great guide to doing it on a budget!
You did an awesome job highlighting the different regions!
I love that you shared about each region. It's a really complete post for anyone going to Mexico, backpacking or not. And as for the violence, it seems that everywhere has safe and unsafe areas, travel is always about being diligent and knowing where it's safe to go.
Yes very true! It's all about being aware, just like anywhere in the world.
We fell hard for Mexico. In 2013-2014 we hitchhiked through all but 3 states! We even hitched the entire Baja Peninsuala. Mexico is much, much safer than almost everyone says.
The towns in the Baja states lack the charm of the towns on the mainland. Real de Catorce in San Luis Potosi state is a gem. We hiked in the hills all around this Pueblo Magico for days. Our time in Mexico City saw us busy everyday for 5 weeks straight and always seeing something new, from museums to cultural interests, or just riding the Metro all day long. Sadly, our time in Oaxaca City saw torrential rain for 3 days straight and we decided to move on to Tabasco and Chiapas from there.
We look forward to our next trip through Mexico and we figure we could easily spend 1 year there, or more.
What an incredible experience! I haven't been to Baja, but I've heard mixed things. The centre and south west are my favourites. Definitely come back to Oaxaca if you get the chance! I can't wait to see more of the country.
Awesome post. This is a complete guide for those who are traveling for the first time to Mexico. I would like to share this post with my sister as she and her husband have planned their honeymoon trip to Mexico and this will be helpful to them to explore wonderful places there. Keep sharing such helpful posts.
This is a great itinerary and useful tips too. We are backpackers and in the future we are looking at doing South America and Mexico so this is really useful for us. It makes us want to head over there straight away, it looks so beautiful!
Really great and useful post! Explored up and down Baja over the years when I lived in San Diego — kayaking, beach camping, backpacking the Sierra San Pedros … but never really explored the mainland. Need to and your post has just inspired some serious thought.
Great tips here. We love Mexico and can't wait to explore more. So much culture, tremendous food and lots of natural beauty. And of course, great people!
I have always wanted to spend travel long-term in Mexico but I'll admit, even being an avid traveler the news lately makes me think twice. I'm so happy to read that you are exploring and having no issues. It always makes sense to be prepared and cautious so I appreciate those tips and your honesty! We will have to take another look at visiting.
Baja is my absolute favorite spot! Thank you for sharing all there is to do in beautiful Mexico!
Great read Claire! Hoping to go backpacking in Central America soon and can't wait for Mexico! As you suggested, I might avoid Cancun but spend a lot of time in Oxaca!

Beto, Biden, Bernie raises the question: Is this the right time for a white guy?
By Stephanie Ebbert and James Pindell Globe Staff,March 14, 2019, 8:32 p.m.
Former Texas congressman Beto O'Rourke was in Iowa on Thursday after officially entering the race for president.(Charlie Neibergall/Associated Press)
Beto O'Rourke's entry Thursday into a crowded field of Democrats running for president in 2020 brought up an awkward question for perhaps the first time ever in American politics: Is this the right time for a white guy to run?
It's an inverted question in a country where 43 of 44 presidents have fit that precise demographic. The current field of 15 Democrats is the most diverse in history, featuring two African-Americans, five women, a Latino, an Asian-American, and a gay man. And the 2018 midterms delivered historic wins for women and people of color, sending a wave of diversity to Washington.
That makes the six white men in the Democratic race for president seem downright conspicuous — and prone to fielding questions about whether they truly represent the "face of the new Democratic Party."
Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders was asked to defend his very identity immediately after he announced his second candidacy. Well, he said, he's still a spry 77 years old. He urged voters not to discriminate and to judge candidates on their abilities, "not by the color of their skin, not by their sexual orientation or their gender, and not by their age."
"I would ask people to look at the totality of who I am – my energy level, my record in the United States Senate — and not just at one criteria," he said.
When Vanity Fair asked O'Rourke to defend his whiteness, calling it "perhaps his biggest vulnerability," he acknowledged he'd have to hire well to make his administration representative of America.
"I totally understand people who will make a decision based on the fact that almost every single one of our presidents has been a white man, and they want something different for this country," O'Rourke said. "And I think that's a very legitimate basis upon which to make a decision. Especially in the fact that there are some really great candidates out there right now."
Does it seem unfair — even sexist or racist — for someone to be grilled about their heritage as a basis of evaluating a candidacy?
Well, welcome to the history of campaigning as a woman or a person of color, said Kelly Dittmar, assistant professor of political science at Rutgers-Camden and a scholar at the Center for American Women and Politics.
"It doesn't make it right, but it's certainly true that women and people of color always get asked questions on their demographics," Dittmar said, noting that often they're asked how they think they can win. "It is so very ingrained in our conversations when we're talking about otherwise marginalized groups getting into a white male space."
"White men have never been asked: Why should you as a white man be elected?" Dittmar added. "Men have never had to make a case for why they deserve to be there."
It should be noted that there is no data to suggest that a white man has faced discrimination in seeking the Oval Office — or indeed any political office at all. But the notion that identity politics have so upended expectations this cycle is head-spinning.
Voters are far more accustomed to public debates over whether America is "ready" for a woman or a Jewish person (Sanders is Jewish) or a black person to be president — and for those individuals to be saddled with expectations for their demographic's future success. Hillary Clinton's bruising loss to Donald Trump in 2016 left some Democrats saying they're not ready to "take another chance" on a female candidate in trying to unseat him.
But the midterms told another story, vaulting women and minorities to political positions from Capitol Hill to capitals across the country. In New England women won competitive Democratic primaries against men for governor in Rhode Island, Maine, Vermont, and New Hampshire. Elsewhere in the nation, African-Americans were Democratic nominees for governor in Florida, Georgia, and Maryland and for the Senate in Mississippi. New Mexico elected a Latina governor, Michelle Lujan Grisham, and Arizona made Kyrsten Sinema the first openly bisexual person to win a Senate seat.
A national CNN exit poll of the midterm elections found that 79 percent of Democratic voters said it was "very important" to elect someone who was a racial minority and 82 percent said the same about electing a woman — roughly double Republicans' answers.
A Rasmussen Reports survey released in February found that 63 percent of likely voters think it's at least somewhat likely that the Democratic presidential nominee in 2020 will be a woman or a person of color. Just 24 percent thought it unlikely.
Still, as the 2020 race approaches, the polls are led by the few white men in the running -- former vice president Joe Biden, who hasn't even declared, Sanders, and O'Rourke. (The other white men in the race are former Maryland representative John Delaney, Washington Governor Jay Inslee, and former Colorado governor John Hickenlooper.)
"Bernie or Beto or Biden could be the right thing for the Democrats," said Tad Devine, a Democratic strategist who worked with Sanders in 2016 and is not aligned with a 2020 candidate. "I don't think voters, beginning in Iowa or New Hampshire, are just going to vote for candidates on a singular basis like their gender or their race."
He thinks the contest hinges on early-voting states like Iowa and New Hampshire — overwhelmingly white — and that a white contender won't suffer unless he neglects the concerns of minority and women Democrats.
The University of Southern California's Bob Shrum, who served as a strategist to several Democratic presidential candidates including John Kerry, said it would be a mistake for a candidate to run on identity politics.
"To win this nomination you have to show how you can beat Trump and that could be any number of candidates," he said. "But I am sure that Biden will be hit with the 'white-male charge' just like Beto was."
Dittmar said she finds it refreshing that questions are being asked about the ticket's diversity — in part because Democrats should be drawing a clear contrast with the Republican Party, which has become more white and male over time.
But she is not counting out any of the white guys in 2020.
"Because history tells us otherwise. And 2018 tells us otherwise," Dittmar said. "In the year of the woman, the majority of candidates and majority of winners were men."

Thursday, January 21, 2016, 1840 Hrs., 50 degrees, cloudy.
Yesterday, Wednesday, I couldn't do any blogging because I didn't know what happened to my Tuesday blog until it finally showed up this morning.
Anyways, yesterday I finally managed to clean the exterior wall of our trailer before it started to turn cloudy and the wind started again, Grrr! I also removed two broken mini blinds, one above the sofa and another from my bedroom and tossed it out and tried to installing the two wooden blinds that Beth got for me and but it didn't work it out so I pouted about it and put them back in the trailer and re-cleaned the floor again!
Today, we got a new eBay order last night, I managed to pull it out from the trailer, fired up the generator to get the printer working to make the shipping label print out and shut it down.
I finally could go to town to drop off an eBay order and save my time and to do laundry and filled up one of our 5 gallon bottles of fresh water. It cost $1.50, I think it's too much for that vending machine instead of using the one at Wal-Mart. The Laundromat and water vending machine is just about 4 blocks away from post office. It saves gas and time to do all 3 in one trip. Pretty smart! Yes, laundry here is quite high, compared in Orange County is $1.50 and here is $2.75 for the front loader, $1.00 for the top loader in OC and $2.50 here!
When I came back, as I was putting away clean white towels, Beth texted me stating the video she made was deleted from YouTube, how stupid! I told her to file appeal to explain who we are.
Beth is going to use the videos in our Google drive instead, good idea!
As I was trying to clean up myself by shaving with hot solo-stove and change my clothes to look nice for the video filming. At 4:00 pm As I started to do it with my smartphone, it's got too dark to film videos. Oh drat! I will try again tomorrow.
Beth also texted me about begining of the year fundraising with a link. I told her please to email me the link instead so I can spread the word around, please do keep your eyes open on my next blog as she stated she will post it everywhere. She needs to also post that in Craigslist as well.
Beth and OCDAC needs your help to bring up funding for the Youth Expo which it will be on Spring 2016 in Costa mesa. Please do help us by visiting our website at www.deafadvocacy.org or email Beth at admin@deafadvocacy.org or by calling her at 714 699-3323. Beth also needs some volunteers to help her at the expos which are coming up soon. Also I would like to have Beth get a volunteer for grant writing.
Beth is currently working on the Volunteers Application online, so we will update on that soon.
Anyway, on my Tuesday blog that I mentioned about the square plastic container instead of Circle, I think I made mistake of using "square", but I think it should be rectangular plastic container to cover the battery and 2 inverters to protect them from the rain. Color is no matter to me, but it's needs to be good quality that can bear the weights of 2 or 3 bricks that would hold down during strong winds.
Well, that's about it for the day and it's getting cold now here and want to climb on my bed to stay warm as much as I can and watch Hulu movies.


Temp agencies play an important role in the economy. They often act as a forerunner of economic growth and unburden many companies with staffing solutions.
As a temp agency you regularly schedule workers, or call upon them to fill last-minute shifts. Bringing together the right people often takes a lot of time and can result in stressful situations. Planners reach out by phone, email or text messages to fill the urgent open shifts. There is much room for efficiency here.
Onboard your temp workers and get started. Each worker has a personal profile in the clevergig app, providing availability in realtime. Your planner can arrange everything via our intuitive dashboard. Decide who works when, or give your team the freedom to decide for themselves who fills which shift.
Your planners save a lot of time and can focus on what matters most: bringing in new business and finding and selecting the best candidates.

19 pregnant teens and women rescued from suspected baby traffickers in Nigeria, police say
By Bukola Adebayo, CNN
Published 11:53 AM EDT, Mon September 30, 2019
Lagos, Nigeria CNN —
Nineteen pregnant teens and women were rescued as Nigerian police busted a suspected child trafficking ring planning to sell babies, a police spokesman told CNN on Monday.
The victims, ranging in age from 15 to 28, were found in different locations in Lagos, Nigeria's largest city, in a police raid earlier this month, police said.
Two women accused of operating homes where the victims were found have been arrested on suspicion of selling babies, and investigators are searching for a prime suspect in the case, Lagos police spokesman Bala Elkana said.
Four children also were freed in the raid, police said. The captors also are accused of planning to sell these children; investigators still are trying to determine where these children came from, police said.
The two arrested suspects still were in police custody Monday.
The pregnant teens and women are from different parts of the country. Some said their traffickers kidnapped them, while others said they were lured to the city by the traffickers who promised them domestic jobs, Elkana said.
Nigerian police rescued more than 300 people - mostly children -- held in "dehumanizing conditions" during a raid on a school on Thursday, police spokesman Yakubu Sabo told CNN. The school owner told police he was running an Islamic school to reform the students, according to the police spokesman. However, police said there is no evidence the school was actually being used as a religious facility. The group of all men and boys, some as young as 13 years old, were freed after police were informed that children were being held in chains at a school in the northern city of Kaduna, Sabo said. Kaduna is a city approximately 150km north of Nigeria's capital, Abuja.

Police said some of the victims were persuaded by their traffickers to sell their babies.
"Some were told that there is a place where babies are sold and they came voluntarily. Some were promised jobs that turned out to be fake when they got to the city, and the (traffickers) forced them to stay, " Elkana told CNN.
According to police, the traffickers were selling male babies for 500,000 naira (around $1,378) and female babies for 300,000 naira ($827).
Police said the rescued victims will be handed over to Nigeria's anti-trafficking agency and relevant authorities for rehabilitation.
Authorities in Nigeria regularly bust baby-trafficking rings, commonly called "baby factories." Last year, the government said more than 162 children were rescued in several raids on illegal orphanages in the city.

Jazz Music: "Struttin With Some Barbecue" By Louis Armstrong
Topic: Music
Views:1,041
Louis Armstrong Struttin with some barbecue is the example of the swing era jazz, which involves the use of several key instruments, including saxophone, trumpet, drums, piano and bass. The song sounds very joyfully. At the beginning of the song, there is an introduction, which involves the encounter of musicians, who start playing jazz. The opening part involves the use of solos, based on saxophone solo, which is later followed by the piano solo. At the same time, the main part of the song includes a sort of competition between the trumpet and the saxophone. Throughout the song they seem to compete with each other but it is not a mere competition, when one musical instrument attempts to suppress another one, but, instead, they are communicating with each other, as if the musicians are talking to each other with the help of their musical instruments. Drums are introduced loser to the end of the song as if to emphasize or complete the competition between the saxophone and trumpet and move the audience to the ending of the song. The song ends with musicians going away and with the saxophone playing the last part of the song. In such a way, solo plays the part of the communication and competition between the musicians.
The song feels the audience with joy. The musicians radiate joy themselves and so does their music. Instruments seem to sing in their hands. The music is fast and swinging from one solo to another from one musical instrument to another with the domination of the saxophone and trumpet. As a result, the musicians create the unique atmosphere and great joy, which they share with the audience.

The children of James Elliman Academy have been enjoying new classrooms and dining hall after a large extension of the school.
The work is part of the council's school places programme – a multi-million pound investment in primary and secondary school buildings, extensions and new schools – to provide enough places for Slough's current and future young people.
The work at James Elliman involved an extension to the dining hall and a total of six new classrooms including five in a brand new block. There was also a new footpath installed and outdoor landscaping work.
All work was completed before the children returned to school after the summer holidays.
Saira Rasheed, principal of James Elliman Academy, said: "The new expansion is a very welcome addition to our existing site.
The works at the Elliman Avenue primary school were undertaken by Slough Urban Renewal (SUR), a partnership between Slough Borough Council and Morgan Sindall Investments Ltd which is driving regeneration across the town through new housing and investment in leisure, community facilities and school buildings.
James Elliman is the first completion of the school extension programme, with several more school extensions being planned and undertaken by SUR including St Mary's, Claycots, Priory special educational needs and Wexham Secondary school.
Andy Howell, general manager of SUR, said: "It is fantastic to be able to build new teaching facilities that enhance the learning environment.
"Through the partnership, we are also providing children with opportunities to learn about the construction of their new buildings and give something back through local community initiatives.

"We all know who the tougher sister is."
The rules were: 1) Each sibling would design the tattoo for the other. 2) The other sibling couldn't see it until it was on their body...forever.
Our first pair of siblings were Ben and Melissa. Ben had no tattoos because he'd never known what to get — so he was hoping his sister would be the perfect person to choose one for him.
Next up, we had Adriana and Claudia. They said they had worked hard to maintain a supportive and loving relationship, so they were really hoping this experiment didn't fuq that up.
Claudia chose a mountain range with trees, which symbolized a place they used to visit as children.
And Adriana chose a geometric flower based on flowers that were planted outside their childhood home.
For Melissa, Ben picked a shared sentiment within their family, which was the nickname they had for themselves: "Flavor wavelength."
And Melissa picked Ben's favorite thing: full moons. Melissa said whenever there was a full moon they would text each other, so it's something that has kept them connected regardless of distance.
...and the wuss side in others.
After the tattoos were finished, it was time for the big reveal.
Claudia and Adriana both loved each other's choices, and were really glad they both chose a memory from their childhood.
And Ben and Melissa were so excited to have a small reminder of their family on their bodies.
Turns out, no one picks a better tat that your own flesh 'n' blood.

A full service broker
Brother Gideon, having sold a house on Carriglea, in Riverside, was faced with a problem: neither the seller nor the buyer wanted the old boar's head that was mounted on a wall, so Gid removed it and delivered it tonight to his Comedy Club in NYC, which was delighted to receive it.
More on impervious surfaces
I still can't figure out how to link to specific articles in Greenwich Post (or they can't) but here's more on what our P&Z has planned for us. Turns out, even a gravel driveway is deemed 'impervious", so we're going back to dirt. Central heating and electricity is next.
The YMCA's woes continune
Mary Washbourne, heir to the original Witherall who donated the land the Y now occupies, is resisting an attempt by Chase to declare s restriction in the deed of gift, limiting the land's use to the purpose of the YMCA, invalid. If Chase prevails, it can continue with its pending foreclosure, sell the place and build an office building on it, or sell it to Greenwich Hospital. . Should Chase lose,Ms. Washbourne may get the property back and then do the same thing, while pocketing $20 million or so. She's represented by Greenwich attorney Dean Montgomery, so my money is on her. Either way, I wouldn't buy a long-term membership at the club.
I haven't even attempted to dig out my car, preferring instead to give the sun a chance to melt its ice casement. But now I hear there's more snow on the way tonight and perhaps another big storm coming Tuesday or Wednesday. I may have to buy a humongous snowblower because if I do, it will never snow again. Seems like a small sacrifice.

Great, nostalgic article in today's Greenwich Time. Simpler times, and probably better.
Mickey Sherman's law license suspended
Well, I don't suppose he'll need it in jail. I feel awful for Mickey – he's a terrific guy, but a celebrity defense lawyer, licensed or not, should have a fairly easy time of it in the pen, because his fellow inmates will want him to help with their appeals. As I said at the time of his sentencing, the feds may end up regretting ever setting Mickey loose among the pigeons.

Some recent sales, reported today
151 Park Ave (Greenwich)
This is a beautiful 1900 house that I admired in 2008, when it came on asking $3.355. I didn't like that price, nor did any buyer, but it just sold for $2.4 million, which is more like it. The seller paid $2.235 for it in 2003 and put a lot of money into renovations, but still, I think he got a fair price, in this market.
21 Meyer Place, in Riverside, asked $2.750 in 2008. New construction, with a pool (which took up most of the back yard), it just sold for $2.050 million. Again, I think that's a good price for both parties.

Are you an American, sir, or a Chi-com?
A Californian politician wants a boycott of all advertisers on the Rush Limbaugh show because Limbaugh insulted the Chinese dictator and hence, "all Chinese Americans".
California state Sen. Leland Yee, a Democrat from San Francisco, is leading a fight in demanding an apology from the radio talk show host for what he and others view as racist and derogatory remarks against the Chinese people.
In recent days, the state lawmaker has rallied civil rights groups in a boycott of companies like Pro Flowers, Sleep Train and Domino's Pizza that advertise on Limbaugh's national talk radio show.
"The comments that he made – the mimicking of the Chinese language – harkens back to when I was a little boy growing up in San Francisco and those were hard days, rather insensitive days," Yee said in an interview Thursday. "You think you've arrived and all of a sudden get shot back to the reality that you're a second-class citizen."
During a Jan. 19 radio program, Limbaugh said there was no translation of the Chinese president's speech during a visit to the White House.
"He was speaking and they weren't translating," Limbaugh said. "They normally translate every couple of words. Hu Jintao was just going ching chong, ching chong cha."
He then launched into a 20-second-long imitation of the Chinese leader's dialect.
The next day, Limbaugh said he "did a remarkable job" of imitating China's president for someone who doesn't know a language spoken by more than 1 billion people.
"Back in the old days, Sid Caesar, for those of you old enough to remember, was called a comic genius for impersonating foreign languages that he couldn't speak," Limbaugh said. "But today the left says that was racism; it was bigotry; it was insulting. And it wasn't. It was a service."
[Chinese Americans] say Limbaugh's comments are inciting hate and intolerance amid a polarized atmosphere. A number of civil rights groups, including Chinese for Affirmative Action, Japanese American Citizens League and the California National Organization for Women [huh?] , have joined Yee in calling on sponsors to pull advertisements from Limbaugh's program.
"I want an apology at the very least," said New York Assemblywoman Grace Meng, a Queens Democrat. "Making fun of any country's leader is just very disrespectful for someone who says he is a proud American."
She added: "He was, in his own way, trying to attack the leader of another country, and that's his prerogative as well, but at the same time he offended 13 percent of New York City's population."
Excuse me? Making fun of a dictatorial government is an insult to citizens of Chinese descent, and Chinese who have fled that dictatorship? An insult to the man responsible for holding in prison the 2010 winner of the Nobel Peace prize? (The 2009 winner of that same prize was conspicuously silent on the fate of the poor man). If so, criticism of Castro and Chavez is an insult to Cubans and Venezuelans and the left's criticism of, say, Pinochet is a racial slur against Chileans. Why is it that the Left so adores Communist dictators? Hmm.

Oops! Himalyian glaciers advancing, not melting, study finds
Last year, our best"undisputed global warming experts" said they'd be entirely melted in twenty-five years.
The new study by scientists at the Universities of California and Potsdam has found that half of the glaciers in the Karakoram range, in the northwestern Himlaya, are in fact advancing and that global warming is not the deciding factor in whether a glacier survives or melts.
Dr Pachauri, head of the Nobel prize-winning UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, has remained silent on the matter since he was forced to admit his report's claim that the Himalayan glaciers would melt by 2035 was an error and had not been sourced from a peer-reviewed scientific journal. It came from a World Wildlife Fund report.
He angered India's environment minister and the country's leading glaciologist when he attacked those who questioned his claim as purveyors of "voodoo science".

I received a card in the mail yesterday, informing me that the GHS 1971 class would be holding its 40th reunion this coming August. Thanks, but no thanks. I hated high school, and have very few no fond memories of the experience. I did return for the 20th reunion, and discovered – duh – that the few people I liked back then were still the only ones I liked twenty years on; those I hadn't liked, hadn't changed.
So, if I live so long, maybe I'll come back for the 50th, but this year? Nah.

From November 2006 to the present extensive efforts have been made to increase the extent to which Parrot's various test suites exercise the Perl 5 source code used during the configuration and build phases of the Parrot installation process.
* The *build* phase begins with `make` and culminates in the creation of the '''parrot''' executable.
purpose of this wiki page, we are not concerned with the test and installationphases.
* `perl Configure.pl --test=configure`: This runs the suite of tests found in '''t/configure/''' then runs '''Configure.pl''' itself. * `perl Configure.pl --test=build`: This runs runs '''Configure.pl''', then runs the suites of tests found in '''t/postconfigure/''', '''t/tools/pmc2cutils/''', '''t/tools/ops2cutils/''' and '''t/tools/ops2pmutils/'''.
'''Configure.pl''' itself, then the post-configuration and build tests.
* `make buildtools'''tests`: This runs the suites of tests found in '''t/tools/pmc2cutils/''', '''t/tools/ops2cutils/''' and '''t/tools/ops2pmutils/'''.
* `make manifest'''tests`: This tests the code underlying tools/dev/mk_manifest_and_skip.pl.
Note that by running `perl Configure.pl --test` with Devel::Cover turned on, we exercise the code within and underlying '''Configure.pl''' by running the test suites and that program itself.
The configuration and build tools tests have no inherent relationship to the tests run by `make test`. Neither of those suites assumes that the '''parrot''' executable has been created, and nothing in those suites tests whether the '''parrot''' executable performs according to its specifications. So there's no reason to wait until '''parrot''' has been created -- '''i.e.,''' until after `make` has been created to run these tests. Both suites are more logically run '''before''' '''make''' has been invoked.
The build tools tests, for example, test whether the build tools will be able to perform to '''their''' specification '''when''' '''make''' invokes them. If '''make''' has already completed successfully, your build tools have, by definition, succeeded, so further testing of them during `make test` is superfluous. You want to know whether your build tools will work before `make` invokes them. And, indeed, the build tools test are set up to test whether `make` has been run or not -- and they fail if `make` has been run. The build tools tests ought to be run by Parrot developers hacking on the build phase, but they would have little relevance to, say, Parrot developers working on language implementations.
The pre-configuration tests, as the term implies, are ideally meant to be run '''before''' `perl Configure.pl`. They test whether the code underlying '''Configure.pl''' is up to the task which '''Configure.pl''' sets out for it.
The pre-configuration tests and the post-configuration tests are run as part of `make test`, but that's largely for the historical reason that a few tests of the configuration tools were run as part of the `make test` suite before this intensive effort at testing began.

Q: .htaccess: GET variables are lost in rewrite Apparently, my .htaccess rewrite eats up all $_GET-variables on my page:
When accessing the URL http://192.168.1.1/welcome/test?getvar=true and running var_dump($_GET) in my index.php file, I get this this output:
array
'/welcome/test' => string '' (length=0)

So no $_GET-data available and no sign of the getvar-variable from my URL.
Here's my .htaccess:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]

What should I change to ensure that my rewrite is working as intended but $_GET-variables still are accessible?

A: You need the "QueryString Append" option:
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?route=/$1 [QSA,L]
Edit: Added @DonSeba's contribution, because it is correct.

A: minor detail change :
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]

to
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?route=$1 [QSA,L]

now all routes will be visible in $_GET["route"]

A: RewriteRule ^(.*)?(.*)$ index.php?/$1&$2 [L]

A: <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^myapi(.*) ./my_real_api_file.php? [QSA]
</IfModule>

Did the trick for me.
You can now request: http://www.mydomain.com/myapi?foo=xy&bar=ab
and will be redirected to: http://www.mydomain.com/my_real_api_file.php?foo=xy&bar=ab
Can be quite usefull to hide your api code.

DOL's proposed new rule redefining "spouse" in the FMLA
By McMahon Berger
The United States Department of Labor has responded to the Supreme Court's decision in United States v. Windsor, 133 S.Ct. 2675, 186 L.Ed.2d 808 (2013), by seeking to expand the definition of "spouse" in the Family Medical Leave Act to include employees in legal same-sex marriages. In Windsor, the Supreme Court struck down section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act as unconstitutional under the Fifth Amendment. On June 20, Secretary of Labor Thomas E. Perez announced a proposed rule that would change the "place of residence" rule currently applied by the DOL to a "place of celebration rule," requiring employers to grant FMLA leave to workers whose marriages are valid in the states where they occurred.
The proposed rule would revise the definition of "spouse" in the FMLA to include "the other person with whom an individual entered into marriage," as defined by the State in which the marriage occurred, and to specifically include "an individual in a same-sex or common law marriage" that was entered into in a State that recognizes such marriages. It would also include marriages occurring abroad, as long as the marriage is valid in the place where it occurred.
The current FMLA regulatory definition of "spouse" includes employees in same-sex marriages, but only in those states that recognize same-sex marriages. The proposed rule would require employers to disregard the law in the state where the employee works and look only to the state or country in which the marriage occurred. As long as the marriage was legal in the state or country where it occurred, the employer would be required to provide FMLA coverage. Employers in states that do not recognize same-sex marriages will need to learn those states which do recognize such marriages in order to comply with the new definition of "spouse" under the FMLA.
The DOL's proposed change in the definition of "spouse" requires a period of public comment. Interested parties may submit written comments on the proposed rule at www.regulations.gov.

Breast cancer and breastfeeding: collaborative reanalysis of individual data from 47 epidemiological studies in 30 countries, including 50302 women with breast cancer and 96973 women without the disease.
BACKGROUND: Although childbearing is known to protect against breast cancer, whether or not breastfeeding contributes to this protective effect is unclear.
METHODS: Individual data from 47 epidemiological studies in 30 countries that included information on breastfeeding patterns and other aspects of childbearing were collected, checked, and analysed centrally, for 50302 women with invasive breast cancer and 96973 controls. Estimates of the relative risk for breast cancer associated with breastfeeding in parous women were obtained after stratification by fine divisions of age, parity, and women's ages when their first child was born, as well as by study and menopausal status.
FINDINGS: Women with breast cancer had, on average, fewer births than did controls (2.2 vs 2.6). Furthermore, fewer parous women with cancer than parous controls had ever breastfed (71% vs 79%), and their average lifetime duration of breastfeeding was shorter (9.8 vs 15.6 months). The relative risk of breast cancer decreased by 4.3% (95% CI 2.9-5.8; p<0.0001) for every 12 months of breastfeeding in addition to a decrease of 7.0% (5.0-9.0; p<0.0001) for each birth. The size of the decline in the relative risk of breast cancer associated with breastfeeding did not differ significantly for women in developed and developing countries, and did not vary significantly by age, menopausal status, ethnic origin, the number of births a woman had, her age when her first child was born, or any of nine other personal characteristics examined. It is estimated that the cumulative incidence of breast cancer in developed countries would be reduced by more than half, from 6.3 to 2.7 per 100 women by age 70, if women had the average number of births and lifetime duration of breastfeeding that had been prevalent in developing countries until recently. Breastfeeding could account for almost two-thirds of this estimated reduction in breast cancer incidence.
INTERPRETATION: The longer women breast feed the more they are protected against breast cancer. The lack of or short lifetime duration of breastfeeding typical of women in developed countries makes a major contribution to the high incidence of breast cancer in these countries.

ERCOLE ROSA | FRINE (PHRYNE)
19th and 20th Century Sculpture
UK: Greenford Park Warehouse
10,000 - 15,000 GBP
ERCOLE ROSA
FRINE (PHRYNE)
signed: E. Rosa
alabaster, on an alabaster socle
105cm., 41⅜in. overall
There is dirt and wear to the alabaster consistent with age. There are a few well restored breaks, which are at the feet, proper left arm, proper right hand and breast, and at the neck. There are restorations here. The are minor surface abrasions to the alabaster. The base is composed in two original sections. There are particular abrasions to the lower section. There is veining to the alabaster consistent with the material and particularly at the base.
Please note the material of the present lot is 'alabaster, on an alabaster socle', and not as stated in the printed catalogue.
A. Panzetta, Nuovo Dizionario degli Scultori Italiani dell'ottocento e del primo Novecento, vol. 2., Turin, 2003, fig. 1618 (probably the same marble as illustrated)
Ercole Rosa was born into a poor family in the Marche region of Italy. His father was a stone-cutter who supplemented his income by fashioning crib figures out of terracotta. Rosa's first experience of sculpture was in helping his father at this work. He moved to Rome to study sculpture in 1858 and in 1874 won the competition for the commission of a monument to the Cairoli brothers. With the completion of this monument Rosa became a leading figure in the Roman art world and his reputation spread across Italy resulting in various important commissions including the monument to Vittorio Emanuele II in Milan, Piazza del duomo. His work combined Italian 'verismo' techniques with Romanticism.
The Phryne illustrated in Panzetta's Dictionary, dating to 1874, is very similar to the present alabaster and has a similar socle to the present lot (op. cit. no. 1618). The model has sometimes been referred to as La Lampada Infranta (The Broken Lamp), and is recorded by the antiquarian Augusto Jandolo (op. cit.), who met Marietta del Frata, Rosa's model for the present Phryne.

"Steve Long has a reputation in the pen-and-paper RPG business. When I first met him, I was told he was a writing machine. Maybe it's more apt to say that Steve Long, the mild-mannered game designer, is the secret identity for a super-powered writer capable of producing a book's worth of text in a single bound.
"Today, he's the creative shot-caller behind the dice-powered superhero RPG, Champions, which Cryptic Studios is currently adapting into an MMORPG. ... Long has been living with the game for close to 30 years now, and is helping to guide it from its tabletop roots into a new era where the RPG and the MMORPG can (hopefully) live side by side."
I'm always happy to see pen & paper RPG design reflected in the world of computer and video games. Still, I can't help but feel a sense of dread after reading this article.
With the Champions IP now sitting in a video game company's hands, it seems like it will be all too easy for Champions to vanish from the pen and paper universe forever. It wouldn't be the first RPG to disappear after an IP transaction (Shadowrun and Battletech, I'm looking at you).
I'm also disappointed that the brilliant Champion's rules system isn't going to be reflected in the MMORPG at all. Did anyone actually play Champions for the setting? As Steve Long said, the whole point of Champions was that it *wasn't* Marvel or DC, you could make your own heroes and your own universe.
If what we get with Champions Online is what we'd have gotten with Marvel, just with the Champions IP instead of Marvel IP, that'll be a disappointment. I hope Cryptic at least takes a hard look at the open-ended customization-friendly philosophy that made Champions beloved by gamers, and tries in some way to bring that spirit into Champions Online.
For what it's worth, neither Shadowrun nor Battletech are actually gone: meet Catalyst Game Labs. If I had to predict the future, though, I'd say that you will see some beloved pen-and-paper games squashed by their video game/MMO incarnations in the next few years. I'm choosing to trust Mr. Long's confidence, though, and believe that Champions can survive in both media simultaneously.
Also, I have to quibble with anyone paying attention to Long at all in relation to Champions Online. Sure, he was the one who sold the IP to Cryptic... but he sold ALL the IP, every last bit of it, and in turn was granted a license to produce HSR and Champions-related gaming stuff from Cryptic. All the stuff that Cryptic is using is the background fluff for Champions, which Steve Long has never had a hand in creating but for some supplements. He has as much to do with Champions Online as Tolkein's son has with LOTR-OL. So why is he being lauded and feted here?
I'm always happy to see pen & paper RPG design reflected in the world of computer and video games.
I see their design reflected in every CRPG on the market. What isn't based on AD&D is based on... um... on some other version of *D&D.
I would think that a mathematically complex and option-heavy system like HERO is a perfect match for being done with a computer.
Avoid long tables, tons of modifiers and calculation by hand and just SEE how' you character's attributes change if you selext this feature or that (maybe even have some graphs).


It shows that you have at least heard of the 'secret' that ALL the top earners embrace.
Attraction marketing is very simple, the value that you put out to the market place, people are raising their hands and they are attracted to the value that you are putting out there and they want to you know, buy something from you or potentially work with you.
If you're a restaurant owner, then you would be attracted to that value.
The great thing about attraction marketing, especially on the internet, is that it's leverage. As a business owner you want to think long term and there is a lifestyle you wanna create and make money doing it.
Problem is is that when people go online, working night and day, 120 days and don't get any results, or small ones. They tell themselves, it doesn't work. You've been working on it four months, you have 200 followers.
Now those 200 followers are targeted, yeah, you won't be able to walk away but you can make some money. I won't say that you won't be able to make money with 200 followers that are targeted. When most people go online that have 200 followers, all of them are their family or their friends, trying to sell to them and they're against everything that they sell to them and don't wanna know why they are struggling. Their strategy is just posting. They just wanna post because they don't want to talk to people so their strategy is posting and like, "I hope somebody reaches out to me," instead of going out there and building relationships or providing value to a target.
If you are immersed in your industry, you know what the problems are. All you gotta do is listen to your prospects. So you know what the problems are so you can solve those problems using attraction marketing. Does that make sense?
OK, did you understand the question asked by the student? Made sense right? And it DOES work! IF you enjoyed this video, please comment and share.

The RendezVous Bar & Rest – Restaurant mit Abendessen im Angebot. Besonders britische Küche sollten Sie sich hier nicht entgehen lassen. An der Bar können Sie einen Drink genießen.
Parken ohne Service kostet 10 GBP pro Tag.
Short one night stay with the family and this place was great. Opposite the train station and close to shops and the theatre we used. Although a bustling city, the noise from the streets was relatively low and in the hotel there was no noise at all. Slept in until 0925, which I probably haven't done for 20+ years, and I was asleep before midnight so would suggest the beds are comfy too!
Beware of advertised picture of room.
Hotel rooms doesn't look like what is actually advertised while booking. I had booked a double room and asked for quite one, I got twin single and pretty ordinary room. No issue with staff and service, all are quite helpfull.
Tired rooms and small, they take a security "pre authorised" from your card and promise to return within a couple of days check out.... try a month!
Room was too noisy due to proximity to road but we were moved to a quieter room once we spoke to reception.
Location was great, Breakfast was basic( tinned fruit ) and staff slow to clear tables and replenish cups. Our double room was compact, bed was very firm.

Offering a range of up to 50 metres and a battery life with a maximum talk time of 10 hours and a standby time of up to 100 hours, the Doro Comfort 1010 allows you to take calls anywhere in your home without having to worry about interruptions due to drops in signal strength. Larger households can even use up to six separate handsets per base station.
With its louder speaker and ringer, combined with large buttons and high-contrast display, the Doro Comfort 1010 is best suited to elderly users and those who are hard of hearing.
I was looking for something basic, easy to use, and with good sound that wouldn't cost an arm and a leg. The Doro Comfort 1010 fits the bill perfectly. Really good phone and me and the wife are very pleased with it! Can highly recommend.


Setting boundaries to help empower people might sound like a contradiction. When managed correctly, though, well placed boundaries can ensure a strong culture of empowerment for your entire company.
I've often said that a river without banks is a large puddle. If you empower people by setting them loose without any direction, they can lose momentum and focus—or, even worse, they can make costly mistakes or put a project at risk. Like the banks of a river, properly set boundaries will channel energy in the right direction so that people can take on more responsibility as they grow and develop.
The key to setting boundaries is to ensure people know the areas where they can be autonomous and responsible rather than focusing on things they are not permitted to do. Boundaries are based on each person's skill level and are meant to help the person understand how their goals align with the overall vision and goals of the organization. Helping people see how their work fits into the big picture allows them to become peak performers.
It is also important for managers to explain the decision making process in an empowered culture. Some people think being empowered means they get to make all the decisions. They could be disappointed when the manager continues to make strategic decisions and leaves only some operational decisions to them. And they might hesitate to make decisions at all when they realize they will be held accountable for the results—both good and bad.
Yes, empowerment means people have the freedom to act, but it also means they are accountable for results. The right balance is to have managers continue making strategic decisions and get team members involved in making more operational decisions as they become more comfortable with assuming the potential risks involved. As people gradually accept more responsibility for decisions and consequences, managers can pull back on their involvement.
It takes a little time in the beginning for managers to establish boundaries for team members, but this investment has a huge payoff. The worst thing a manager can do is to send people off on their own with no clear direction and then punish them when they make mistakes. Don't fall into that trap. Establish clear boundaries that will empower people to make decisions, take initiative, act like owners, and stay on track to reach both personal and organizational goals.

Kearny, STEPHEN WATTS, military officer; born in Newark, N. J., Aug. 30, 1794; uncle of Gen. Philip Kearny. When the War of 1812–15 broke out young Kearny left his studies at Columbia College, entered the army as lieutenant of infantry, and distinguished himself in the battle of Queenston Heights. In April, 1813, he was made captain, and rose to brigadier - general in June, 1846. He was in command of the Army of the West at the beginning of the war with Mexico, and with that army marched to California, conquering New Mexico on the way. He established a provisional government at Santa Fe, pressed on to California, and was twice wounded in battle. For a few months in 1847 he was governor of California;
joined the army in Mexico; in March, 1848, was governor, military and civil, of Vera Cruz, and in May of the same year was made governor of the city of Mexico. In August, 1848, he was brevetted major-general, and died in St. Louis, Mo., on Oct. 31, following.
The Kearny-Stockton Controversy.
The differences between General Kearny and Commodore Stockton, after the occupation of California, originated primarily in the indefiniteness of the instructions which were issued from the seat of government. Those addressed to the naval commanders on the Pacific, in their judgment, justified the organization of a military force and a civil government in California, and under those instructions Commodore Stockton authorized Colonel Fremont to organize the California battalion and take its command with the title of major. By virtue of those, he likewise took the necessary steps for the organization of a civil government for California and invested Fremont with the title and responsibilities of governor.
As soon as these results were consummated, Kit Carson was sent, with an escort of fifteen men, to bear the intelligence overland to Washington, as soon as possible. Just as he had crossed the desert and was approaching the American frontier, he was met by General Kearny, with a small force of dragoons, marching westward, under instructions from his government to conquer California and organize a civil government in the territory, a work which had already been successfully accomplished.
Upon learning what had occurred, Kearny insisted upon Carson's returning with him, as his guide, to California, having forwarded the dispatches to Washington by another messenger of his own selection. Upon the general's arrival at Los Angeles, the capital of California, and the seat of the new government, the contest soon arose between himself and Commodore Stockton. The process by which Colonel Fremont became involved in this controversy is obvious. He held a commission in the army as lieutenant of topographical engineers, and, as such, was, primarily, subject to the orders of his superior general officer of the army. He had since yielded to the exigencies of the occasion, and, from motive and for reasons which cannot be impeached, waived any privileges he might have claimed, as the real conqueror of North California, and, in point of rank, the superior representative of the army on the Pacific coast, and, with his men, volunteered to serve under Commodore Stockton in the further prosecution of the war in South California, the subjugation of which could not be so successfully effected without the aid of a fleet. By accepting the governorship of California, a vacancy had been created in the command of the California battalion, and other changes had become necessary. The first intimation which Colonel Fremont received of General Kearny's intention to test the validity of Commodore Stockton's acts, through him, was conveyed in the following note:
HEADQUARTERS, ARMY OF THE WEST, " CIUDAD DE LOS ANGELES,
Jan. 16, 1847.
By direction of Brigadier - General Kearny, I send you a copy of a communication to him from the Secretary of War, dated June 18, 1846, in which is the following: 'These troops, and such as may be organized in California, will be under your command.' The general directs that no change will be made in the organization of your battalion of volunteers, or officers appointed in it, without his sanction or approval being first obtained. WM. F. EMORY,
Lieutenant and Acting Assistant
Adjutant-General.
This note at once raised the question whether he was to obey General Kearny, and thereby, so far as his example could go, invalidate the acts of Commodore Stockton, in which he had cooperated, or obey Commodore Stockton, and, so far as his decision would go, sustain the validity of those proceedings which he believed to be both legal and patriotic. If he took the former course, he incurred the liability to be arraigned, and, in his judgment, justly disgraced for disobeying an officer whose rank and authority he had deliberately recognized; and he further incurred the charge of base ingratitude towards an officer whose courtesy and confidence he had shared, whose conduct he had approved, and who unexpectedly found himself in a situation to need the support of his friends. Fremont was incapable of deserting either a friend or what he deemed a post of duty; he accordingly addressed to General Kearny the following reply, on the following day:
CIUDAD DE LOS ANGELES,
SIR,—I have the honor to be in receipt of your favor of last night, in which I am directed to suspend the execution of orders which, in my capacity of military commandant of this territory, I had received from Commodore Stockton, governor and commander-in-chief in California. I avail myself of an early hour this morning to make such a reply as the brief time allowed for reflection will enable me.
I found Commodore Stockton in possession of the country, exercising the functions of military commandant and civil governor, as early as July of last year; and shortly thereafter I received from him the commission of military commandant, the duties of which I immediately entered upon, and have continued to exercise to the present moment.
I found also, on my arrival at this place, some three or four days since, Commodore Stockton still exercising the functions of civil and military governor, with the same apparent deference to his rank on the part of all officers (including yourself) as he maintained and required when he assumed them in July last.
I learned also, in conversation with you, that on the march from San Diego, recently, to this place, you entered upon and discharged duties implying an acknowledgment on your part of supremacy to Commodore Stockton.
I feel, therefore, with great deference to your professional and personal character, constrained to say that, until you and Commodore Stockton adjust between yourselves the question of rank, where I respectfully think the difficulty belongs, I shall have to report and receive orders, as heretofore, from the commodore.
With considerations of high regard, I am, sir, your obedient servant,
J. C. FREMONT,
Lieutenant-Colonel U. S. A., and Military Commandant of the Territory of California. Brig.-Gen. S. W. Kearny, U. S. A.
The same day that General Kearny addressed the note above quoted to Colonel Fremont, a yet more serious correspondence commenced between him and Commodore Stockton. It is here given at length, with the introductory remarks of Commodore Stockton's biographer, who evidently wrote under the eye and approval of the commodore:
"Fremont throughout the California war was strictly and technically in the naval service, under Commodore Stockton. He had taken service under him with an express agreement that he would continue subject to his orders as long as he continued in command in California. This engagement both he and Captain Gillespie had entered into from patriotic motives, and to render the most efficient service to the country. He visited California originally upon topographical, and not on military, duty. His volunteering under Stockton on special service was a patriotic impulse, in complying with which the government were in honor bound to sustain him. He therefore very properly refused to violate his agreement with Stockton, and unite with Kearny against him.
" Having failed to compel Fremont to acknowledge his authority, the general addressed himself to the commodore and demanded that he should abdicate the command-in-chief.
" The commodore, considering the subjugation of California complete, and that no further hostilities were likely to take place, was of opinion that he might now relinquish his governorship and command-in-chief and return to his ship. But, having informed the government that upon that event he intended to appoint Colonel Fremont governor, he now proceeded to carry that design into execution.
" General Kearny, learning this to be the purpose of the commodore, and desirous of exercising the functions of governor himself, addressed to him the following letter:"
GENERAL KEARNY TO COMMODORE STOCKTON.
HEADQUARTERS, ARMY OF THE WEST, CIUDAD DE LOS ANGELES,
SIR,-I am informed that you are engaged in organizing a civil government, and appointing officers for it in this territory. As this duty has been specially assigned to myself, by orders of the President of the United States, conveyed in letters to me from the Secretary of War, of June 3, 8, and 18, 1846, the original of which I gave to you on the 12th, and which you returned to me on the 13th, and copies of which I furnished you with on the, 26th December, I have to ask if you have any authority from the President, from the Secretary of the Navy, or from any other channel of the President to form such government and make such appointments?
If you have such authority, and will show it to me or furnish me with a certified copy of it, I will cheerfully acquiesce in what you are doing. If you have not such authority, I then demand that you cease all further proceedings relating to the formation of a civil government of this Territory, as I cannot recognize in you any right in assuming to perform duties confided to me by the President.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant, S. W. KEARNY, " Brigadier-General U. S. A.
Commodore R. F. Stockton, Acting " Governor of California."
COMMODORE STOCKTON TO GENERALKEARNY.
HEADQUARTERS, CIUDAD DE LOS ANGELES,
SIR,—In answer to your note, received this afternoon, I need say but little more than that which I communicated to you in a conversation at San Diego—that California was conquered and a civil government put into successful operation; that a copy of the laws made by me for the government of the Territory, and the names of the officers selected to see them faithfully executed, were transmitted to the President of the United States before you arrived in the Territory.
I will only add that I cannot do anything nor desist from doing anything on your demand, which I will submit to the President and ask for your recall. In the mean time you will consider yourself suspended from the command of the United States forces in this place.
Faithfully, your obedient servant, " R. F. STOCKTON,
Commander-in-Chief. "To Brevet Brig.-Gen. S. W. Kearny."
SIR, In my communication to you of yesterday's date I stated that I had learned that you were engaged in organizing a civil government for California. I referred you to the President's instructions to me (the original of which you have seen) and copies of which I furnished you, to perform that duty, and added that if you had any authority from the President, or any of his organs, for what you were doing, I would cheerfully acquiesce, and if you had not such authority I demanded that you would cease further proceedings in the matter.
Your reply of the same date refers me to a conversation held at San Diego, and adds that you cannot do anything or desist from doing anything or alter anything on your (my) demand. As, in consequence of the defeat of the enemy on the 8th and 9th inst., by the troops under my command, and the capitulation entered into on the 13th inst. by Lieutenant-Colonel Fremont with the leaders of the Californians, in which the people under arms and in the field agree to disperse and remain quiet and peaceable, the country may now, for the first time, be considered as conquered, and taken possession of by us; and as I am prepared to carry out the President's instructions to me, which you oppose, I must, for the purpose of preventing a collision between us and possibly a civil war in consequence of it, remain silent for the present, leaving with you the great responsibility of doing that for which you have no authority, and preventing me from complying with the President's orders.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant, S. W. KEARNY,
Brigadier-General U. S. A. " Commodore R. F. Stockton, Acting
Governor of California."
The motives which actuated Colonel Fremont in electing to pursue the course which he did upon the arrival of General Kearny, are scarcely open to misconstruction. There happens, however, to be the best of evidence in regard to them in a letter addressed to Colonel Benton at the time of the collision, which reveals in all the confidence of personal friendship the innermost secrets of his heart. In that letter, he says:
" ... When I entered Los Angeles I was ignorant of the relations subsisting between these gentlemen, having received from neither any order or information which might serve as a guide in the circumstances. I, therefore, immediately on my arrival, waited upon the governor and commander-in-chief, Commodore Stockton, and, a few minutes afterwards, called upon General Kearny. I soon found them occupying a hostile attitude, and each denying the right of the other to assume the direction of affairs in this country.
" The ground assumed by General Kearny was that he held in his hand plenary instructions from the President directing him to conquer California, and organize a civil government, and that consequently he would not recognize the acts of Commodore Stockton.
" The latter maintained that his own instructions were to the same effect as Kearny's; that this officer's commission was obsolete, and never would have been given could the government have anticipated that the entire country, seaboard and interior, would have been conquered and held by himself. The country had been conquered and a civil government instituted since September last, the constitution of the Territory and appointments under the constitution had been sent to the government for its approval, and decisive action undoubtedly long since had upon them. General Kearny was instructed to conquer the country, and upon its threshold his command had been nearly cut to pieces, and, but for relief from him (Commodore Stockton), would have been destroyed. More men were lost than in General Taylor's battle of the 8th. In regard to the remaining part of his instructions, how could he organize a government without first proceeding to disorganize the present one? His work had been anticipated; his commission was absolutely null and void and of no effect.
" But if General Kearny believed that his instructions gave him paramount authority in the country, he made a fatal error on his arrival. He was received with kindness and distinction by the commodore, and offered by him the command of his land forces. General Kearny rejected the offer and declined interfering with Commodore Stockton. This officer was then preparing for a march to Ciudad de Los Angeles, his force being principally sailors and marines, who were all on foot (fortunately for them), and who were to be provided with supplies on their march through an enemy's country, where all the people are cavalry. His force was paraded, and ready to start, 700 in number, supported by six pieces of artillery. The command, under General Stockton, had been conferred upon his first lieutenant, Mr. Rowan. At this juncture General Kearny expressed to Commodore Stockton his expectation that the command would have been given to him. The commodore informed the general that Lieutenant Rowan was in his usual line of duty, as on board ship, relieving him of the detail of the drudgery of the camp, while he himself remained the commander-in-chief; that if General Kearny was willing to accept Mr. Rowan's place, under these circumstances, he could have it. The general assented. Commodore Stockton called up his officers and explained the case. Mr. Rowan gave up his post generously and without hesitation; and Commodore Stockton desired them clearly to understand that he remained commander-in-chief; under this arrangement the whole force entered Angeles; and on the day of my arrival at that place General Kearny told me that he did then, at that moment, recognize Commodore Stockton as governor of the Territory.
"You are aware that I had contracted relations with Commodore Stockton, and I thought it neither right nor politically honorable to withdraw my support. No reason of interest shall ever compel me to act towards any man in such a way that I should afterwards be ashamed to meet him."
Early in the spring, new instructions, bearing date Nov. 5, reached Commodore Stockton, which put an end to the latter's supremacy in the quarter. In his dispatch the Secretary of the Navy says:
" The President has deemed it best for the public interests to invest the military officer commanding with the direction of the operations on land, and with the administrative functions of the government over the people and Territory occupied by us. You will relinquish to Colonel Mason, or to General Kearny, if the latter shall arrive before you have done so, the entire control over these matters, and turn over to him all papers necessary to the performance of his duties."
Instructions of a corresponding import were of course received from the War Department, by General Kearny, and with them, or not long afterwards, a dispatch from Mr. Marcy, of which the following is an extract:
EXTRACT FROM INSTRUCTIONS TO BRIGADIER-GENERAL KEARNY.
WAR DEPARTMENT, June 17, 1847.
. . . When the dispatch from this department was sent out in November last, there was reason to believe that Lieutenant-Colonel Fremont would desire to return to the United States, and you were then directed to conform to his wishes in that respect. It is not now proposed to change that direction. But since that time it has become known here that he bore a conspicuous part in the conquest of California, that his services have been very valuable in that country, and doubtless will continue to be so should he remain there.
Impressed, as all engaged in the public service must be, with the great importance of harmony and cordial cooperation in carrying on military operations in a country so distant from the seat of authority, the President is persuaded that when his definite instructions were received, all questions of difficulty were settled, and all feelings which had been elicited by the agitation of them had subsided.
Should Lieutenant-Colonel Fremont, who has the option to return or remain, adopt the latter alternative, the President does not doubt you will employ him in such a manner as will render his services most available to public interest, having reference to his extensive acquaintance with the inhabitants of California, and his knowledge of their language, qualifications independent of others, which it is supposed may be very useful in the present and prospective state of our affairs in that country... .
Very respectfully, your ob't servant, " W. L. MARCY, Secretary of War."
The " definite instructions " to which reference is here made were never communicated to Colonel Fremont, and their suppression was very justly esteemed by him a grievance for several reasons, and among others, because they show that by the President's directions it was at Colonel Fremont's option whether he would remain in California or not, an option, however, which was denied him by General Kearny.
Early in March, and after taking the supreme command in California, General Kearny addressed Colonel Fremont the following letter:
GENERAL KEARNY TO COLONEL FREMONT.
HEADQUARTERS, 10TH MILITARY DEPT.,
MONTEREY, U. CAL., March 1, 1847.
SIR,-By Department orders, No. 2, of this date (which will be handed to you by Captain Turner, 1st Dragoons, A.A.A.G., for my command), you will see that certain duties are there required of you as commander of the battalion of California volunteers.
In addition to the duties above referred to, I have now to direct that you will bring with you, and with as little delay as possible, all the archives and public documents and papers which may be subject to your control, and which appertain to the government of California, that I may receive them from your hands at this place, the capital of the Territory.
I have directions from the general-in-chief not to detain you in this country, against your wishes, a moment longer than the necessities of the service may require ; and you will be at liberty to leave here after you have complied with these instructions, and those in the order referred to.
Very respectfully, your ob't servant,
S. W. KEARNY.
Lieut.-Col. J. C. Fremont, Regiment of Mounted Riflemen, Commanding Battalion of California Volunteers, Ciudad de Los Angeles."
About a month later, he received the following order from General Kearny:
HEADQUARTERS, 10TH MILITARY DEPT., " MONTEREY, CAL., March 28.
SIR,-This will be handed to you by Colonel Mason, 1st Dragoons, who goes to the southern district, clothed by me with full authority to give such orders and instructions upon all matters, both civil andmilitary, in that section of the country as he may deem proper and necessary. Any instructions he may give you will be considered as coming from myself.
A few weeks later Colonel Fremont received orders from General Kearny to report himself at Monterey with such of the members of his topographical corps as were still under pay, prepared to set out at once for Washington. Colonel Fremont then applied for permission to join his regiment, under General Taylor's command, supposed to be on its way to Vera Cruz. This request was refused without explanation or apology, and on June 14 Colonel Fremont addressed General Kearny as follows :
COLONEL FREMONT TO GENERAL KEARNY.
NEW HELVETIA, U. CAL.,
SIR,-In a communication which I received from yourself in March of the present year I am informed that you had been directed by the commander-in-chief not to detain me in this country against my wishes longer than the absolute necessities of the service might require.
Private letters in which I have entire confidence further inform me that the President has been pleased to direct that I should be permitted the choice of joining my regiment in Mexico, or returning directly to the United States. An application which I had the honor to make to you at the Ciudad de Los Angeles for permission to proceed immediately to Mexico having been rejected, and the duties of the exploring expedition which had been confided to my direction having been terminated by yourself, I respectfully request that I may now be relieved of all connection with the topographical party which you have taken under your charge, and be permitted to return to the United States. Traveling with a small party by a direct route, my knowledge of the country and freedom from professional business will enable me to reach the States some forty or fifty days earlier than yourself, which the present condition of affairs and a long absence from my family make an object of great importance to me.
It may not be improper to say to you that my journey will be made with private means, and will not, therefore, occasion any expenditure to the government. I have the honor to be, with much respect, your obedient servant,
Lieutenant-Colonel, Mounted Riflemen. " Brig.-Gen. S. W. Kearny, Commanding, etc."
To this request Colonel Fremont received the following reply:
CAMP NEAR NEW HELVETIA,
CALIFORNIA, June 14, 1847.
SIR,—The request contained in your communication to me of this date, to be relieved from all connection with the topographical party (nineteen men), and be permitted to return to the United States with a small party made up by your private means, cannot be granted.
I shall leave here on Wednesday, the 16th instant, and I require of you to be with your topographical party in my camp (which will probably be about 15 miles from here) on the evening of that day, and to continue with me to Missouri.
Brigadier-General.
Lieutenant-Colonel Fremont, Regiment
Mounted Riflemen, New Helvetia."
General Kearny broke up his camp near Sutter's fort on the day after issuing this order, and set out for the United States, attended by Colonel Fremont, who was treated, however, with deliberate disrespect throughout the journey. The party reached Fort Leavenworth about Aug. 22. On that day General Kearny sent for him, and directed Lieutenant Wharton to read to him a copy of the first paragraph of an order he had just issued of that date, as follows:
FORT LEAVENWORTH, Aug. 22, 1847.
Lieutenant - Colonel Fremont, of the Regiment of Mounted Riflemen, will turn over to the officers of the different departments at this post, the horses, mules, and other public property in the use of the topographical party now under his charge, for which receipts will be given. He will arrange the accounts of these men (nineteen in number), so that they can be paid at the earliest date. Lieutenant-Colonel Fremont having performed the above duty, will consider himself under arrest, and will then repair to Washington City, and report himself to the adjutant-general of the army. . . .
